Pelle Larsson Sidelined at Least One Week

Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports that Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (ankle) will miss at least a week after an MRI determined he has a sprained right ankle. The 24-year-old sustained the injury during Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Magic. He has played in 24 games this season and is averaging 8.7 points, 3.2 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 21.9 minutes per contest. With Larsson on the shelf, Jaime Jaquez will likely take on extra minutes, giving fantasy managers a solid streaming option going into the Heat's next matchup against the Raptors on December 15.

Dru Smith Will Be Available Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (hip) got a spot start on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal contest with the Magic. Smith was upgraded to available, but he'll likely return to the bench with Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) ready to return after missing Saturday's game. In his start, Smith only managed four points and two assists in 19 minutes in the Heat's loss, but he'll look to be productive as he returns to the second unit against the Magic. The 27-year-old has flashed some upside off the bench, but with Miami likely leaning more heavily on its starters, his role will likely be limited in Tuesday's matchup.

Pelle Larsson Will Be Available Against Orlando

Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (hip) was listed as probable but has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Magic, along with Davion Mitchell and Tyler Herro. Larsson has played 23 games (16 starts) this season and is averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 22.4 minutes per game. The 24-year-old from Sweden missed Saturday's loss to the Kings and had come off the bench with a minimal impact in four of his five games before that. His return to the rotation will likely limit the minutes of Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio, who got extra playing time in Saturday's short-handed rotation.

Davion Mitchell Listed as Available for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (groin) missed his team's game on Sunday, but he'll be able to return to action on Tuesday, as expected when he was given the probable tag. Mitchell's return will be just in time for the NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest against the Magic on Tuesday night, when Tyler Herro (toe) will also be back in the backcourt. Mitchell has produced 9.7 points and 7.8 assists in 30.0 minutes per game in his 23 starts for the Heat this season. He has a good matchup against the Magic, although Herro's return to the backcourt could curb his usage a bit. On such a small slate this Tuesday, use Mitchell as you normally would since he has the green light to get back in action after missing just one game.

Tyler Herro Will Be Available Tuesday Against the Magic

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) will be able to return as expected when the Heat visit the Magic in an NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest on Tuesday night. He was listed as probable but upgraded to available on Tuesday afternoon. Herro was able to practice on Monday after missing two games, and his return will likely push Kel'el Ware back to the bench, with Bam Adebayo sliding back to center. Herro has only played five games this season while battling injuries, but he produced 23.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per contest, and he'll be a huge part of Miami's offense in his return on Tuesday as they look to advance to the Semifinals by knocking off their in-state rivals.

Dru Smith Questionable to Play Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash against the Orlando Magic. He didn't practice on Monday and could miss the big matchup due to a left hip contusion. Smith was a starter for Miami last time out against the Sacramento Kings. However, with Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) on track to return to the lineup on Tuesday, Smith's role will be very different if he gets cleared for action. Pelle Larsson (hip), who is also expected to return on Tuesday, could play a few extra minutes in Smith's absence.

Pelle Larsson Listed as Probable for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (hip) practiced on Monday and is listed as probable for Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Orlando Magic. He was unavailable on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings due to a hip problem. Larsson's fantasy value has plummeted in recent weeks as Miami has returned to full health. Since Tyler Herro's season debut on Nov. 24, Larsson has been limited to 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 20.6 minutes per game. Across his last two outings, Larsson has shot just 1-for-9 from the field, scoring four points. Currently, the Swedish youngster isn't a good fantasy option.

Davion Mitchell • PG • Heat

Davion Mitchell Expected Back Tuesday

Miami Heat point guard Davion Mitchell (groin) looks set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's NBA Cup game against the Orlando Magic, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Due to right groin tightness, Mitchell was unavailable on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. With him out, Dru Smith (hip) made his first start of the season. The 27-year-old had a minimal impact and will return to the bench on Tuesday if he can play. Smith is considered questionable for the matchup. Mitchell has logged three double-doubles as Miami's starting point guard in 2025-26, averaging 9.7 points and 7.8 assists. He could make a big impact in Tuesday's game, as Orlando allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to point guards this season.

Tyler Herro • SG • Heat

Tyler Herro Likely to Return for Cup Clash Against Magic

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) is listed as probable for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Orlando Magic. He has sat out a pair of games due to a right big toe contusion, but Herro appears to be on track to return to action on Tuesday night. The 2025 All-Star practiced fully on Monday. Kel'el Ware has started back-to-back games during Herro's absence and will presumably drop back to the second unit for Tuesday's action. This may actually be good news for his fantasy prospects, as Ware recorded a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double in his last appearance off the bench. As a starter, he managed nine points and 14 boards across the past two games.

Tyler Herro • SG • Heat

Tyler Herro Will Miss Another Game on Saturday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) won't play on Saturday versus the Kings. The 25-year-old began the season on the shelf due to foot and ankle injuries. Since returning, he appeared in five games, averaging 23.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and a career-high 48.4% shooting from behind the arc. Herro will now miss his second-straight contest due to a right big toe contusion. He's considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers will wait to see if he'll be back on Tuesday in Orlando. Without Herro, Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell are the favorites to be the top contributors on the scoring end, although Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, and Andrew Wiggins could have more prominent roles.

Tyler Herro Sitting Out Of Friday's Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) won't play Friday night when the team visits the Orlando Magic. The All-Star told reporters he's taking it "day by day right now" as he manages irritation and pain in his right big toe. Herro has played in just five games this year, making his season debut on November 24th after offseason surgery. He scored at least 20 points in all five of those games. Norman Powell (ankle) will play after missing Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks. He will be tasked with handling the bulk of Miami's scoring.

Norman Powell Good To Go Versus Orlando

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (ankle) is off the injury report and available to play against the Orlando Magic on Friday night. The 32-year-old missed Wednesday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks after tweaking his ankle on Monday. With Tyler Herro (toe) doubtful to play on the first night of a back-to-back, Powell will be tasked with shouldering the scoring load. He's averaging a career-best 25 points per game on 45.8% shooting from beyond the arc in 17 games this season.

Tyler Herro Uncertain For Magic Matchup

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) is questionable for Friday in Orlando on the first night of a back-to-back. He logged 20 points and four rebounds in 33 minutes Wednesday and is averaging 23.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks across his last five on 52.4 percent shooting. Managers should keep contingency plans ready. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. become viable streamers if Herro sits, especially with Norman Powell (ankle) also questionable.

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 • SG • Heat

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 • SG • Heat

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. • SF • Heat

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.

Dec 1

Andrew Wiggins • SF • Heat

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 • SG • Heat

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.

Nov 28

Nikola Jović • SF • Heat

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.
