Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts 15/10/1/2/1 line vs. Detroit
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:54 PM
Bam Adebayo amassed 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in two straight and three of his last four games. With Tyler Herro now in the mix, increased rebounding may be what keeps Bam's fantasy value where managers hoped it would be before the season began. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. That doesn't align with his Yahoo! ADP (32), and it could be difficult for Adebayo to reach those heights. He'll look to prove otherwise, starting with Monday's game against the Clippers. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro hits six three-pointers vs. Detroit
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:54 PM
Tyler Herro finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 24 points (6-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Herro shot the ball well from beyond the arc, making six of his 11 attempts. However, what could have been an even bigger night was short-circuited by a 0-of-6 effort from inside the arc. Herro shot better than 69 percent from two in his first two appearances of the season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned. The Heat open a four-game Week 7 on Monday against the Clippers. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell sinks three triples, scores 28 pts
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:53 PM
Norman Powell produced 28 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Like Andrew Wiggins, Powell bounced back on Saturday after a subpar performance in Wednesday's win over the Bucks. However, to be fair to Norman, that was his first game back from a strained groin that kept him out of the previous contest. He looked healthy against the Pistons, and he's scored at least 25 points in nine games this season. So far, the inclusion of Tyler Herro has not been an issue for Powell, which is good news for fantasy managers. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins drops game-high 31 points vs. DET
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 4:53 PM
Andrew Wiggins recorded 31 points (10-of-15 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: After shooting 4-of-11 from the field in his first game back from a hip injury, Wiggins looked much sharper on Saturday. Shooting nearly 67 percent from the field, he recorded his first 30-point game of the season, and there was also value to be had in the rebound, assist and steals categories. With Tyler Herro and Norman Powell in the fold, Wiggins' rest-of-season fantasy value may take a hit. However, he's still providing top-100 value, so managers in 12-team leagues should look to sell high if possible. The Heat play four games in Week 7, starting with the Clippers on Monday. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) ruled out vs. Detroit
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 12:19 PM
Anthony Chiang
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Saturday.
Analysis: Jaquez will be unavailable after initially being listed as questionable, which will open up plenty of minutes off the bench. Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic should take on extra minutes with Jaquez unavailable, though that likely won't result in either playing enough to be worth streaming. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) questionable Saturday
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:14 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Jaquez Jr. was listed as questionable on Wednesday against the Bucks before ultimately playing, so there's a chance he's able to take the court against Detroit. If Jaquez Jr. ends up missing time, Simone Fontecchio would likely see a bump in minutes. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) returns, scores 11 vs. Bucks
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:12 PM
Norman Powell (groin) notched 11 points (4-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Powell's return from a one-game absence was an unspectacular one. He logged 29 minutes and recorded his lowest scoring total of the season, failed to make a three-pointer, and shot only 36.4 percent from the field. Wednesday also marked Powell's first game alongside Tyler Herro, who recently made his season debut while Powell was out with a groin injury. How the two high-scoring guards play alongside one another will be fascinating from a fantasy basketball perspective. Nonetheless, the Heat captured their sixth straight win. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts 17/11 double-double vs. MIL
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:05 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Wednesday's win over the Bucks with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Adebayo scored at least 17 points for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. He needed only 29 minutes of game action to record double-digit rebounds, which led him to his sixth double-double of the season. The veteran center has produced solid numbers in his return from a toe injury and continues to be one of the Heat's most relied-upon players. As long as he's healthy, he'll remain a productive fantasy basketball player who is a nightly double-double threat. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro tallies 29 points Wednesday vs. Bucks
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:58 PM
Tyler Herro amassed 29 points (9-of-15 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Herro, after scoring 24 points in his season debut on Monday, was even more impressive against the Bucks. He shot the ball efficiently again and got to the free-throw line consistently to nearly reach the 30-point mark by the game's conclusion. He was also very involved as a facilitator on Wednesday, after not tallying any against the Mavericks. Herro's balanced performance should be a sign of things to come ??" he led Miami in points, assists, and three-pointers per game last season. |

Norman Powell MIA starts Mitchell, Herro, Powell, Wiggins, Bam
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 1:14 PM
NBA Lineups
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Powell and Wiggins returning from injury, the Heat have made two changes to their starting lineup. Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware head to the bench. While both will remain in the rotation, Ware is the one who should continue to be rostered in 12-team leagues. Wiggins is back after a three-game absence, so it's possible that he doesn't play full starters' minutes on Wednesday. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (hip) available to play vs. Bucks
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 11:49 AM
Ira Winderman
Nikola Jovi? (hip) is available to play on Wednesday vs. the Bucks.
Analysis: Jovi? had missed Miami's last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team's five-game winning streak. He'll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he's averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production. |

Dru Smith Dru Smith (hip) available Wednesday vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 11:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Dru Smith (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Smith is available after a hip injury landed him on the initial injury report. While he should remain in the rotation, his playing time may decrease, as this will be the healthiest the Heat have been this season. Leave Smith on the waiver wire. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) available Wednesday vs. MIL
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 11:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jaquez was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Wednesday, so the final upgrade was expected. He'll continue to come off the bench, but there may be some concern about Jaquez's fantasy value, given that Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell are also available. He's worth holding onto for now, but that could change down the road. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) available Wednesday vs. MIL
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 11:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: After sitting out Monday's win over the Mavericks, Powell is back for the Heat. However, it's unknown if he'll start or come off the bench. If Powell resumes his usual duties as a starter, Pelle Larsson is the player most likely headed to the bench. However, Powell can provide excellent value as a reserve, serving as the primary scoring option for the second unit. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hip) available Wednesday vs. MIL
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 11:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Wiggins is back after missing the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. He'll likely be in the starting lineup, with Kel'el Ware moving to the bench. Ware will get the minutes needed to provide solid fantasy value, so do not even consider dropping him. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr., Dru Smith probable Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 10:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) and Dru Smith (hip) are probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jaquez and Smith were initially questionable for Wednesday's game. Both are on track to play, and the Heat may have their full rotation as a result. With Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell also probable, Jaquez and Smith may have lower fantasy ceilings for Wednesday's action. Of the two, Jaquez is better able to deliver reliable value. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins, Nikola Jovi? upgraded to probable
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (hip) and Nikola Jovi? (hip) are probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they've been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel'el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jovi?, he'll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role. |

Dru Smith Dru Smith (hip) questionable Wednesday vs. MIL
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:18 AM
Anthony Chiang
Dru Smith (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Smith is one of four Heat players questionable for Wednesday's game due to hip injuries. If he's unable to play, the Heat will need to fill the backup point guard role, but multiple players already in the rotation may absorb the available minutes. There's no need to add anyone to account for Smith's potential absence. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:14 AM
Ira Winderman
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jaquez played 33 minutes off the bench in Monday's win over the Mavericks, and his playing time may decrease on Wednesday if he plays. Norman Powell (groin) is probable, and with Tyler Herro also in the fold, Jaquez stands to have a lower fantasy ceiling. If he can't play, more minutes will be available to Simone Fontecchio. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hip) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:04 AM
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Wiggins has missed the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. If he remains out against the Bucks on Wednesday, Kel'el Ware will continue to start. If Wiggins is back, the Heat could be at full strength for the first time this season with Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Wiggins and likely Norman Powell (groin) in the starting lineup. |
