Tyler Herro Tyler Herro scores 23 points in loss to Charlotte
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 5:35 PM
Tyler Herro tallied 23 points (7-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in the loss to the Hornets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Herro struggled with his shot on Tuesday during his 34 minutes on the floor. Specifically, his inability to finish efficiently inside the three-point line led to the low field-goal percentage. Yet, he sank three triples and produced at the free-throw line to end as one of Miami's three players with at least 20 points on the night. Herro also turned out a solid outing as a facilitator in the team's season-ending loss. He battled injuries throughout the season and only logged 33 regular-season games, leaving him with little fantasy basketball value in his seventh NBA season. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell's 28 not enough in loss to Hornets
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 5:28 PM
Davion Mitchell amassed 28 points (12-of-24 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Mitchell logged a game-high 48 minutes on Tuesday and did just about everything the Heat could have hoped for. He shot the ball well en route to leading the team in scoring, was one of Miami's top facilitators, and was the Heat's only player with at least one block and steal apiece. Unfortunately for Mitchell, his blocked game-winning layup attempt will be the lasting memory of what was a very strong performance. Mitchell played 70 games this season and made a big step as a passer. Yet he wasn't a reliable option when it came to fantasy basketball. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins posts 27/7/3 line in loss to CHA
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 5:21 PM
Andrew Wiggins totaled 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in the loss to the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Wiggins was one of several Heat players to make positive contributions on the offensive end of the floor. His 27 points trailed only Davion Mitchell's 28, as the veteran forward had production across all three scoring levels. Wiggins was also one of the Heat's best rebounders on the night during his 42 minutes of game action. He finished the season as a fairly comparable fantasy basketball performer as he was a season ago, albeit on fewer points per game. If Wiggins remains on the Heat going forward, he could be in for a similar season. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (back) won't return Tuesday vs. CHA
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 3:25 PM
Tomer Azarly
Bam Adebayo (back) is out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Adebayo fell hard on his back during the second quarter of Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game while trying to save a loose ball. He was subbed out at the ensuing deadball, taken to the locker room, and never returned. He was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game during the third quarter, leaving Miami without one of its best players. Jaime Jaquez Jr. started in Adebayo's place to begin the second half and could see more minutes if the team advances, depending on Adebayo's status. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (leg) upgraded to available vs. CHA
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 6:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (leg) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Larsson is good to go after being listed as questionable on the injury report initially released by the Heat on Monday evening. He'll figure prominently in the Heat wing rotation, whether he starts or comes off the bench. In four games against the Hornets during the regular season, Larsson averaged 15.3 points on 55.6 percent shooting from the field. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (leg) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 11:35 AM
Pelle Larsson (leg) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Larsson is listed as questionable with a right lower leg contusion. Nikola Jovic (ankle) and Dru Smith (foot) are out, but otherwise the Heat have a healthy roster heading into the Play-In Tournament. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. scores 26 points off bench
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 2:49 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. provided a boost off the bench with 26 points (12-of-17 FGs), one rebound, five assists and one three-pointer against the Hawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Jaquez stayed hot after scoring 23 points in Friday's win over the Wizards. This was his second straight 20-point game while shooting at least 70 percent from the floor. Jaquez has made a strong case for Sixth Man of the Year, and while he may not win the award, he will continue to be a pivotal piece for Miami as they enter the play-in tournament against the Hornets next week. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell scores 25 points off bench
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 2:42 PM
Norman Powell lit up the Hawks with 25 points (8-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers on Sunday.
Analysis: Powell was able to end the regular season on a high note after a rough few months for him. He was able to start the season hot, but injuries hit his fantasy value hard. This was his highest-scoring outing since February, and he was one of three Heat players to score at least 25 points in this game. It was encouraging for him to have this type of performance, and he'll look to carry this production into their play-in tournament matchup with the Hornets next week. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo produces 25/10/3/3/2 line vs. Atlanta
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 2:37 PM
Bam Adebayo posted a full line on Sunday with 25 points (11-of-18 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 143-117 win over the Hawks.
Analysis: Adebayo wraps up the regular season with his third straight 20-point double-double while also contributing multiple defensive stats in each game. He typically isn't quite as impactful in fantasy basketball as he is on the court for the Heat, but he has been a fantasy stud over the final couple months. Miami will be the 10th seed in the East, meaning they will travel to Charlotte for the play-in tournament next week. If Adebayo is playing this well, they will certainly have a chance to survive the tournament and make it to the playoffs. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) upgraded to available
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 9:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Powell is back after sitting out Friday's win over the Wizards. If he returns to the starting lineup, the Heat will likely open up a spot by moving Kel'el Ware to the bench. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (leg) downgraded to out vs. Atlanta
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 9:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (leg) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Added to the injury report earlier Sunday, Larsson is now out for the Heat's regular-season finale. Norman Powell is still questionable with a sore right groin. If he can play, he'll absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Larsson. If not, then Keshad Johnson should take on a more prominent role within the rotation. |
|
Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio (ankle) downgraded to out
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 9:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Simone Fontecchio (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Fontecchio will not play on Sunday after being considered probable on the initial report released on Saturday. Tyler Herro is available and was going to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, regardless of Fontecchio's status. |
|
Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (leg) downgraded to questionable
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 8:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (leg) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Absent from the initial injury report released by the Heat, Larsson is dealing with a lower right leg contusion. If he's unable to play, Keshad Johnson and Myron Gardner could see their minutes increase. Johnson, who played legitimate rotation minutes in Friday's win over the Wizards, is the superior option for managers in active fantasy leagues. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio (ankle) now questionable vs. ATL
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 6:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Simone Fontecchio (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Initially probable for Sunday's game, Fontecchio is trending in the wrong direction on availability. Tyler Herro will be available after sitting out Friday's win over the Wizards; he'll regain his spot in the starting lineup regardless of what happens with Fontecchio. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio (ankle) probable vs. Atlanta
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Simone Fontecchio (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Fontecchio is dealing with a sore left ankle, but the probable tag suggests he's on track to play. He started Friday's win over the Wizards and scored 24 points, knocking down six three-pointers. |
|
Dru Smith Dru Smith, Nikola Jovi? to remain out vs. Atlanta
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dru Smith (foot) and Nikola Jovi? (ankle) are out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: The continued absences of Smith and Jovi? will not significantly impact the Heat rotation, as both were on the outside looking in when healthy. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) questionable vs. Atlanta
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Powell did not play in Friday's win over the Wizards, which factored into rookie Keshad Johnson playing 30 minutes off the bench. If Powell can play in Sunday's regular-season finale, and the Heat still have a chance of moving into the No. 9 seed, Johnson's playing time will decrease. |
|
Tyler Herro Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell available vs. Atlanta
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (foot) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) are available for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Herro and Mitchell are available for Sunday's regular-season finale after not playing in Friday's win over the Wizards. Their returns will push Simone Fontecchio and Kasparas Jaku?ionis to the bench, with the former offering a higher ceiling when used in a reserve role. A win over the Hawks, combined with a Hornets loss to the Knicks, would move Miami into the No. 9 seed. They would host the 9 vs. 10 game on Wednesday night. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. records 23 points, eight assists
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 3:29 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. notched 23 points (10-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Jaquez is one of the betting favorites for NBA Sixth Man of the Year, and with good reason. More often than not, the third-year forward provides reliable production off the bench. His stat line against the Wizards did not include any defensive stats, but Jaquez shot over 70 percent from the field and finished two assists shy of a double-double. The Heat end their regular season with a game against the Hawks on Sunday. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson posts 24 points, six assists
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 3:29 PM
Pelle Larsson tallied 24 points (8-of-14 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Despite Tyler Herro, Norman Powell and Davion Mitchell being out, Larsson came off the bench on Friday. The change in role did not negatively impact his ability to provide value, with the second-year wing's 24 points being the most in a game for him since March 12, when he scored 28 against the Bucks. Miami will have something to play for on Sunday, as it can jump Charlotte for ninth with a win over the Hawks and a Hornets loss to the Knicks. |
