Andrew Wiggins Wiggins drains seven triples in loss to Thunder
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 3:55 PM
Andrew Wiggins poured in a team-high 23 points (8-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Wiggins was electric from beyond the arc in this one, knocking down a season-high seven three-pointers, while recording his first 20-point effort since December 27. The 30-year-old veteran has experienced a significant decline in the scoring department this season, averaging just 16 points through 35 games. He got a few additional creation opportunities with top scorer Norman Powell missing this contest with a back issue. The Heat kick off a busy three-game week on Tuesday against the Suns before facing the Celtics and Thunder to close it out. |

Pelle Larsson Larsson delivers 16 points in spot start vs. Thunder
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 3:54 PM
Pelle Larsson contributed 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 27 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Larsson scored 16 points for the second time in his last four games. The lack of a consistent role limits his scoring appeal and extinguishes his immediate fantasy appeal. However, he would be the primary beneficiary from a minutes standpoint if Norman Powell winds up requiring a lengthy absence. It's a situation to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues. |

Tyler Herro Herro finishes with 19 points in second start
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 3:53 PM
Tyler Herro accumulated 19 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Herro attempted only three three-pointers in his third contest since making his season debut back on January 6. The 26-year-old sharpshooter has hoisted at least 15 shot attempts in all three contests and is averaging 21.8 points. |

Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 12:37 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Added to the injury report late Sunday afternoon, Powell is officially out. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Pelle Larsson, who's worth streaming in deep leagues. Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo complete the starting five. |

Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 12:07 PM
NBA Injury Report

Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) now questionable Sunday
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Powell is a late addition to the Heat injury report, which is a concerning turn for fantasy managers. With Tyler Herro also questionable, the Heat would have to rely more on Jaime Jaquez Jr., Pelle Larsson and Nikola Jovi? if both can't play. Of the three potential replacements, Jaquez offers the highest fantasy ceiling. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (toe/rib) questionable Sunday vs. OKC
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 7:55 AM
Tyler Herro (toe/rib) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Herro returned to the starting lineup Saturday in his second game back from a toe injury. Somewhere along the way, the 25-year-old point guard also picked up a rib contusion. Now Herro is questionable against the Thunder on Sunday. Kel'el Ware had just two points with Herro starting Saturday and would seem to benefit if Herro is out Sunday. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell ice-cold, scores six points vs. IND
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 3:53 PM
Norman Powell finished Saturday's loss to the Pacers with six points (2-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: As a team, the Heat shot 4-of-30 from beyond the arc in Saturday's 123-99 loss. Powell was part of the problem, as he shot 1-of-7 from deep while Tyler Herro was 1-of-8. Fantasy managers can take solace in the fact that Powell has been highly productive on most nights, which should be an indicator of his ability to bounce back. He'll look to do so in Miami's final game of Week 12 on Sunday against the Thunder. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. records 16/7/2/1 stat line
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 3:49 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallied 16 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in Saturday's loss to the Pacers.
Analysis: As much as a player can in a game his team lost by a 123-99 final score, Jaquez had a good night. He finished a blocked shot and a three-pointer shy of a complete stat line while shooting 50 percent from the field. That said, Jaquez is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Heat now close to full strength, his production off the bench is something to watch, as Jaquez has been good enough to offer standard-league value thus far. Hopefully, that doesn't change. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo grabs nine rebounds vs. Indiana
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 3:46 PM
Bam Adebayo accounted for 13 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds and two assists in Saturday's loss to the Pacers.
Analysis: Saturday night was rough for Adebayo and the Heat, who never led against the Pacers. While effective as a rebounder, the Heat captain didn't offer much value otherwise. This season hasn't been what many fantasy managers hoped it would be for Bam, as he's ranked outside the top-50 in per-game value. Adebayo and the Heat will look to redeem themselves on Sunday against the Thunder. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro scores team-high 21 points vs. Indiana
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 3:41 PM
Tyler Herro finished Saturday's loss to the Pacers with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in his first game back from a toe injury, Herro was back in the starting lineup on Saturday. He finished with a complete stat line, but the Heat were blown out and the other starters struggled. Where Herro is within the lineup doesn't matter much, as he'll provide solid fantasy value wherever. But it does affect Kel'el Ware, who tallied two points and three rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench. Ware can still offer reliable fantasy value, but he's someone to watch with Herro back in the fold. The Heat visit Oklahoma City on Sunday. |

Miami Heat
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Herro was supposed to start on Thursday against the Bulls, but the game was postponed due to condensation on the United Center floor. So, he'll make his first start since returning from a toe injury on Saturday, with Kel'el Ware coming off the bench. |

Thu, Jan 8, 2026, 1:35 PM
Miami Heat
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in his first game back from a right great toe injury, Herro has returned to the starting lineup. As a result, Kel'el Ware will come off the bench. While his ceiling is slightly lower with the demotion, Ware should still be rostered in most leagues. |

Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Jaquez Jr. has missed the last two games with an injury but seems on track to return tonight. With Tyler Herro (toe) now also back, it's likely that Nikola Jovi?, who has been playing well, will see his minutes and usage reduced. |

Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Jaquez has missed Miami's last two games with a sprained right ankle. His status ahead of Tuesday's loss to Miami shifted from âoutâ to âquestionableâ and finally back to âout.â The good news is that he's questionable on the initial injury report for Thursday night. If Jaquez plays, Nikola Jovi? and Pelle Larsson stand to lose out on minutes, especially with Tyler Herro back in the fold. |

Tyler Herro Herro records 17 points, nine boards in return
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 4:28 PM
Tyler Herro piled up 17 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes in Tuesday's lopsided defeat at the hands of the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Herro looked like his usual self coming off the bench in this one following an 11-game absence recovering from a right toe injury. He shot the ball well overall but was just 1-of-4 from three-point range in his first game action since December 9. It was an off night for Miami overall as they shot just 35.7 percent from the floor as a team and failed to break the century mark. It's been a frustrating season for Herro, and fantasy managers, as injuries have limited to just seven games after he played 77 of 82 last year. He shouldn't have too many restrictions from a minutes standpoint moving forward. |

Norman Powell Powell notches 21 points in loss to Timberwolves
Tue, Jan 6, 2026, 4:27 PM
Norman Powell posted 21 points (9-of-17 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), three rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes in Tuesday's one-sided loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Powell knocked down a pair of three-pointers to open the contest but never really got going afterwards as Miami went ice-cold from the floor in the second half and fell behind by nearly 30 points by the middle of the fourth quarter. The 32-year-old has been a revelation for fantasy managers in his Heat debut, averaging 24.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks through 32 games. He's scored at least 21 points in seven consecutive games since December 26. |
