Pelle Larsson Set to Suit Up Versus Dallas

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun, Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) is available to play against the Dallas Mavericks after carrying a questionable tag earlier on Monday. Larsson is nursing a toe sprain in his right foot. However, the injury won't keep him out of action during tonight's tilt. The 24-year-old has played in all 21 Heat games this season, posting averages of 9.7 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.7 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per contest. Miami may take a cautious approach and limit Larrson's minutes this evening as he deals with the new injury.

Norman Powell Sidelined Versus Mavericks

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday versus the Dallas Mavericks after tweaking his left ankle in Monday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The 32-year-old has thrived since his arrival in Miami, averaging a career-high 25.0 points while shooting 45.8% from downtown. Unfortunately, it appears there's a chance he'll miss time beyond Wednesday's contest. Without Powell in the equation, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kel'el Ware could find themselves in the starting lineup, although both players should benefit offensively regardless of their roles.

Norman Powell Questionable for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell has appeared on the injury report quite often this season and is currently on it because of an ankle sprain. His absence would be a big blow for the Heat, as Powell leads the team in scoring and has gone for 30-plus points twice in his past four outings. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Dru Smith will probably log more minutes off the bench if Powell can't play on Wednesday. Jaquez Jr has been productive throughout the season, even with Powell in the lineup. However, he had an awful time against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, finishing with four points on 2-for-10 shooting.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Uncertain for Monday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He could miss a second consecutive contest due to a right groin strain. Jaquez Jr. has impressed this season, producing 16.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game off the Miami bench. Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware led the second unit on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Simone Fontecchio is in a position to log more action without Jaquez Jr. available, but he didn't see the floor in Saturday's game.

Andrew Wiggins On Track To Suit Up Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is probable for Saturday's matchup with Detroit after logging 11 points, two rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 31 minutes during his return from a three-game absence. The workload suggests he is back in a stable role, though Miami's improving health makes his night-to-night ceiling dependent on efficiency more than volume. Wiggins remains a viable category-league play for scoring and defensive stats, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) may lose minutes if he is cleared.

Norman Powell Likely Available Against Detroit

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) is probable for Saturday's game against Detroit after briefly cooling off once Tyler Herro returned. Powell had been tearing it up before Herro rejoined the lineup, but his most recent outing with 11 points and four rebounds reflected reduced usage in a healthier rotation. He still sits in the viable streaming range for points and threes, though the ceiling is lower with Herro reclaiming 32 minutes and 29 points. Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware maintain steady fantasy value.

Nikola Jovic Good to go on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hip) will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Jovic has missed four straight games due to a hip impingement. The 22-year-old was averaging 21.4 minutes per contest across 14 games. However, he will likely see fewer minutes than he did before his setback, as Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo have formed a productive frontcourt duo in his absence.

Norman Powell Back in Action Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. A groin issue kept Powell out of action on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Andrew Wiggins (hip) is also set to return after a three-game absence. Powell's move to Miami has worked out well for him, as the former Clipper is averaging a career-high 25.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, it will be interesting to see how well Powell meshes with Tyler Herro, who made his season debut on Monday against Dallas, scoring 24 points in 29 minutes.

Andrew Wiggins Will Suit Up Against Milwaukee

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is available to suit up for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed three games due to a left hip flexor strain but has been cleared to play. Norman Powell (groin) will also return to the lineup for this evening's tilt. Wiggins is averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes per contest this season and could provide plenty of fantasy production in his return.

Dru Smith • PG • Heat

Dru Smith Available Versus Bucks

Miami Heat shooting guard Dru Smith (hip) is set to suit up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Smith has been dealing with a left hip contusion, but he has yet to miss a game this season. The 27-year-old is averaging 6.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 16.8 minutes across 18 games. He will continue to have a limited role in the Heat's rotation and will likely not factor in fantasy basketball this evening.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Upgraded to Probable Against Bucks

Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. The 24-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, but he was listed on the injury report as questionable earlier due to issues with his right hip. Jaquez is becoming one of the NBA's best bench performers, averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists across 30.4 minutes. If Jaquez has a setback and is unable to suit up this evening, it would allow Simone Fontecchio to take on a larger role in the rotation.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. May Skip Wednesday's Contest

Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of a meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The 24-year-old may have to skip his first contest of the season due to an issue with his right hip. Following a poor 2024-25 campaign, Jaquez Jr. has bounced back in style, becoming one of the NBA's best bench performers. He is averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 30.4 minutes. Jaquez Jr.'s absence on Wednesday would allow other second-unit players to take on a larger role in the rotation, with Simone Fontecchio looking like the most attractive fantasy piece.

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed three games with a left hip flexor strain. Luckily for Miami, Tyler Herro has just made his season debut, and Norman Powell (groin) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday, lessening the impact of Wiggins' absence. Simone Fontecchio could see additional action for Miami if Wiggins doesn't return on Wednesday night. The Italian forward is primarily a three-point sniper, averaging 10.8 points per game with 2.3 makes from downtown.

Norman Powell Expected to Return Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, indicating that he is on track to return to the lineup. A groin issue kept Powell off the floor on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell's move to Miami has worked out superbly for him, as the 32-year-old is averaging a career-high 25.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals. However, it remains to be seen how well Powell meshes with Tyler Herro, who made his season debut against Dallas, scoring 24 points in 29 minutes.

Nikola Jovic Questionable for Wednesday's Matchup With Milwaukee

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jovic has missed four straight games due to a hip impingement. Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip), Andrew Wiggins (hip), and Dru Smith (hip) are also considered questionable for tomorrow evening's contest. Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson both carry marginal fantasy value, but with extra minutes, they could offer solid fantasy production on Wednesday night if Jovic is unable to suit up.

Tyler Herro Making 2025 Debut on Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) will play on Monday versus Dallas. The 25-year-old averaged a career-high 23.9 points last season. Unfortunately, he's been working his way back from multiple injuries. It's possible Herro has some rust to shake off in his first game in nearly eight months. However, with Norman Powell (groin) and Andrew Wiggins (hip) sidelined, Herro should automatically be plugged into all fantasy lineups.

Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell Out on Monday Night

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) and guard Norman Powell (groin) won't play on Monday versus the Mavericks. It's a tough blow for Miami, with both players averaging a combined 42.1 points this season. Fortunately, Tyler Herro (foot, ankle) is projected to make his 2025 debut on Monday night, which will help lessen the blow, even if he plays fewer than the 32.6 minutes per game that he's averaged throughout his career. Of course, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware remain must-start fantasy options in all formats, considering the duo should see more scoring chances. The same can be said for Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is coming off a potent 22-point effort in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Andrew Wiggins to Miss Sunday's Contest with Hip Injury

Miami Heat guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) will miss Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia after sitting out the win in Chicago. The veteran wing was averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 33.1 minutes on 48.1 percent shooting before the injury, with his last five games sitting at 15.6 points and 5.6 rebounds. His absence removes a steady scoring and defensive piece from Miami's starting unit, opening additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio on the wing. Managers in standard formats should hold Wiggins given his workload and production, while deeper leagues can treat Jaquez as a temporary streaming option until the former No. 1 pick returns.

Norman Powell Carrying Probable Tag for Sunday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia after another productive stretch as Miami's lead perimeter scorer. Powell is averaging 24.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 3.2 threes in 30.6 minutes while shooting 49.1 percent from the field. He logged 19 points with two rebounds, two assists, and two steals in his last outing and has posted 25.6 points across his past five games. From a fantasy angle, managers should expect continued strong usage as long as his hip holds up, with Bam Adebayo maintaining secondary touches. Tyler Herro (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (hip) remain out, keeping Powell's role secure across formats.

Andrew Wiggins Labeled as "Day-to-Day"

According to Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) is "day-to-day." The 30-year-old has played well enough, averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. He also appeared in all 15 games so far this season. While Wiggins will miss his first contest of the 2025 campaign on Friday night when the Heat host the Chicago Bulls, there's a chance he'll be available on Sunday afternoon versus the 76ers. There are several directions Spoelstra can go while Wiggins is sidelined, although all of them should mean more minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., with the latter potentially on track to enter the starting lineup.
