Pelle Larsson Exits Loss Early with Elbow Injury

Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (elbow) did not return to Friday's loss to Boston after sustaining a right elbow contusion, finishing with zero points, five rebounds, and three assists in 12 minutes. His status for Sunday against Washington is uncertain. Should Larsson sit, Simone Fontecchio could pick up extra run, though his fantasy appeal remains tied almost entirely to scoring, while Myron Gardner is a deep-league flier only. Gardner has started two recent games, averaging 13.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in 22.5 minutes in those starts, but his role and production remain inconsistent.

Andrew Wiggins Active for Friday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is available for Friday's clash with the Boston Celtics. Wiggins missed Tuesday's loss to Atlanta due to left hamstring tightness. Norman Powell (personal) will also suit up after a three-game absence. Wiggins is averaging 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes per contest this season. With the 30-year-old veteran forward back in the mix, Simone Fontecchio will see less playing time and will return to the bench.

Norman Powell Set to Suit Up Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) is available to suit up against the Boston Celtics on Friday. Powell missed three consecutive contests due to a personal matter. Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) will also return after sitting out Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks. Fantasy managers can expect Powell to be productive against Boston, as he posted 26 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 32 minutes the last time the two teams met on Jan. 15.

Tyler Herro Not Traveling With Heat on Road Trip

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) will not travel with the team during an upcoming two-game road trip. Herro has missed 11 straight contests due to a costochondral rib injury, and there have been no encouraging updates since he exited the lineup in mid-January. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. should continue to be the primary beneficiaries during Herro's extended absence.

Myron Gardner Makes Second Career Start

Miami Heat small forward Myron Gardner will fill in for Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, making his second career start. Gardner's first start occurred a couple of games back, and he performed well in a clash with the Chicago Bulls. Across 23 minutes of action, the 24-year-old rookie notched 12 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. Davion Mitchell, Pelle Larsson, Simone Fontecchio, and Bam Adebayo will also start for the Heat. These teams play at the highest pace in the NBA, creating a perfect environment for big fantasy lines.

Norman Powell Out Versus Hawks

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Powell will miss his third game in a row due to a personal matter. The 32-year-old veteran guard's next chance to return to the floor is Friday against the Celtics. With Powell and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) also out, Miami's offense will likely run through Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Bam Adebayo during tonight's tilt.

Andrew Wiggins Sidelined on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is unavailable for Tuesday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. Wiggins was downgraded from questionable to out due to left hamstring tightness. Tonight's contest will be the first he's missed since Dec. 19. With Wiggins on the shelf and Norman Powell (personal) doubtful, fantasy managers could look to Jaime Jaquez Jr. as a reasonable streaming option this evening as he supplied 14 points, five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes on Sunday against the Bulls.

Norman Powell Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Tuesday before his team's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He looks likely to miss his third straight game away from the tea. In the games he missed, Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio each picked up a start. Since Miami is also without Tyler Herro (ribs), but Davion Mitchell was able to return on Sunday. Without Powell, though, Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Bam Adebayo will continue to carry more work in the offense. The matchup is a good one for the Heat, so if Powell is ruled out, those other options could be great lineup options on Tuesday.

Norman Powell in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He exited the lineup last week for personal reasons and could be out for a third consecutive game on Tuesday. Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio have each picked up one start during Powell's absence. Meanwhile, with Tyler Herro (ribs) being unavailable as well, Pelle Larsson has stood out offensively, scoring 42 points across the last two games. Without Powell, Bam Adebayo also has a larger role on offense.

Tyler Herro Misses 11th Straight Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) is not ready to return to action and will miss an 11th straight game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Herro is dealing with a costochondral injury to his ribs, and there haven't been any updates on him since he departed the lineup in mid-January. Fortunately for Miami, Davion Mitchell was back in the lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls, giving the backcourt a slight boost. Pelle Larrson has enjoyed a regular starting role during Herro's absence, producing back-to-back 20-point performances. He does plenty of work in other areas as well, making Larsson an attractive fantasy target.

Davion Mitchell Returns to Action Sunday

Miami Heat point guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) will return to work on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls after missing six games. Miami has upgraded Mitchell from probable to available. Mitchell's return will primarily affect the playing time of Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith. However, with Tyler Herro (ribs), Norman Powell (personal), and Nikola Jovic (hip) all out, there will still be opportunities for Miami's second echelon to make an impact.

Norman Powell Misses Sunday's Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. He has been ruled out for personal reasons after the team initially listed Powell as questionable. With Powell out, Myron Gardner impressed against the Bulls on Saturday with a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first career start. He could have a larger role again on Sunday, though Davion Mitchell's (shoulder) return will have a significant impact on the rotation.

Tyler Herro Remains Sidelined Saturday vs. Bulls

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) will not play Saturday against Chicago, extending his absence to nine straight games. He has continued to be ruled out well ahead of tipoff, a pattern that points to a week-to-week situation and makes him doubtful for Sunday's rematch. Herro's continued absence, paired with Norman Powell (personal) being out and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) trending doubtful, keeps Miami's rotation thin. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has responded with expanded minutes and delivered 19 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists on Friday. Pelle Larsson and Dru Smith remain viable deep-league streamers handling secondary playmaking duties.

Norman Powell Ruled Out vs. Bulls

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) will not play Saturday against Chicago and remains uncertain for Sunday's rematch, leaving Miami short-handed again. Powell's absence opens short-term fantasy value elsewhere, especially for Jaime Jaquez Jr., who has logged at least 28 minutes in four of his last five games and posted 19 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists in his most recent outing. Bam Adebayo should continue to shoulder a heavy offensive load, while Andrew Wiggins sees steadier usage. Jaquez Jr. profiles as a strong streamer if Powell remains sidelined.

Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell Remain Out Thursday

Miami Heat guards Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) won't be in action against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Due to a rib issue, Herro will sit out an eighth consecutive game, while Mitchell must skip his fifth straight contest with a shoulder injury. As a result of the backcourt injuries, Kasparas Jakucionis has recently filled in as the starting point guard. After initially showing promise, the rookie struggled in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic, registering two points, one assist, two steals, and two turnovers in 20 minutes. Dru Smith outperformed Jakucionis off the bench with 13 points, three rebounds, and seven assists in 22 minutes, potentially earning himself a larger role for Thursday's game.

Kel'el Ware Good to Go Against Bulls

Miami Heat forward Kel'el Ware (hamstring) will be active on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. The talented big man returned from a hamstring injury on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic and was listed as probable on the original injury report. After missing four games, Ware was used for only seven minutes in Wednesday's contest. Ware's fantasy value has declined recently, and injuries only make it harder for him to re-establish himself as an important contributor for the Heat.

Norman Powell Ready for Action Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (back) will play in Thursday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. The team has upgraded Powell from probable to available. The 32-year-old played through a back issue on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic, scoring 22 points in 28 minutes. With Tyler Herro (ribs) battling health issues, Powell has been Miami's leading scorer in 2025-26, posting 23.0 points per game on 47.3 percent shooting. Facing one of the league's weakest defenses on Thursday, Powell has an excellent opportunity to surpass his usual production.

Kel'el Ware in Danger of Missing Another Game

Miami Heat forward/center Kel'el Ware (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. He's dealing with a right hamstring strain and may be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Still, Ware returned to practice on Tuesday, suggesting that he could soon be back in the lineup. Nikola Jovic has seen consistent minutes during Ware's absence, averaging 17.5 points and 4.5 rebounds over the last two games. While Jovic has been productive in recent games, his numbers have been lacking for most of the campaign, making him a risky fantasy choice.

Davion Mitchell • PG • Heat

Davion Mitchell Iffy for Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. He may miss his fourth consecutive game due to a left shoulder injury that Mitchell sustained earlier this month. If Mitchell can't return against Orlando, Kasparas Jakucionis will remain in the starting unit. The Lithuanian rookie has made five total starts this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. He could be a bit busier on Wednesday against an Orlando team that gives up the seventh-most fantasy points to point guards.

Norman Powell Questionable Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Powell has recently played through a back issue, but he may eventually need to take some time off to recover. With Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Miami relies heavily on Powell on the offensive end. If he can't play on Wednesday, there would be additional playing time available for Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Simone Fontecchio. Although Larsson has enjoyed a couple of very good performances lately, Jaquez Jr. has more fantasy potential.
