Nikola Jović leads Heat starters with 16 points

Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Player Stats

Nikola Jović tallied 16 points (7-of-11 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday’s exhibition against the Timberwolves.

Miami sat most of its established veterans on Saturday, leading to Jović starting and taking on a bigger role on offense. He shot well and recorded a solid stat line, missing only blocks. While Jović doesn’t qualify as a must-draft player in 12-team leagues, he’ll be worth a look in deeper leagues. And Miami needs him to bounce back from a disappointing 2025-26.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIA Forward #7

Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Antetokounmpo’s status is trending in the wrong direction after the Heat listed him as probable on the initial injury report. If he can’t play, the Heat may rely more on Nikola Jović at power forward.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIA Forward #7

Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Antetokounmpo is dealing with a sprained right wrist, but the probable tag suggests that he’s much closer to playing on Tuesday than not. Nikola Jović’s playing time could increase if Giannis sits, but his rotation minutes have been inconsistent.
Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović finished Friday’s exhibition against the Magic with 12 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo being scratched a few hours before tipoff, Jović started Miami’s preseason finale. He and the other starters didn’t play after halftime, but the young forward was solid in his 15 minutes on the floor. At best, Jović is worth considering in the later rounds of a draft. His viability as a fantasy option this season will depend on Antetokounmpo’s health.
Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović finished Saturday’s exhibition against the Raptors with 11 points (3-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.

With the players Miami sent to Milwaukee in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, Jović is one returnee who will have every opportunity to contribute more this season. While he didn’t have a great night from the floor, the 2022 first-round pick contributed in multiple areas on Saturday. Jović admitted recently that his motivation dipped last season after signing his four-year, $62 million extension, so he should be eager to make amends for a disappointing 2025-26.
Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Pelle Larsson (leg) is questionable for Tuesday’s Play-In game against the Hornets.

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.
Dru Smith

MIA Guard #12

Dru Smith (foot) and Nikola Jović (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game against the Hawks.

The continued absences of Smith and Jović will not significantly impact the Heat rotation, as both were on the outside looking in when healthy.
Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović (ankle) will miss Thursday’s game against the Raptors.

Jović missed Tuesday’s game against the Raptors and is now set to miss Thursday’s. The fourth-year forward has struggled with injuries all season long, only appearing in 47 games so far. His absence shouldn’t significantly impact the Heat’s rotation.
Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović (ankle) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Raptors.

Jović sprained his left ankle during Saturday’s win over the Wizards. His absence won’t have a significant impact on the Heat rotation, as Jović has appeared in just three games since the All-Star break.
Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović (ankle) exited Saturday’s win over the Wizards with 36.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Jović was injured when his left leg got caught underneath his body after being fouled by Washington’s Jamir Watkins on an attempt to convert an alley-oop. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Jović did so slowly. He finished with five points (2-of-6 FGs), two assists and one three-pointer. Saturday’s game was the first for Jović since March 21, with injuries knocking down the pecking order within the Heat rotation.
Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Pelle Larsson (elbow) and Nikola Jović (back) are available for Tuesday’s matchup with the Hornets.

As expected, both players will take the court, and both should be in line for their usual workloads. Larsson should stick with the first unit while Andrew Wiggins (toe) is sidelined.

Darryn Peterson, Josh Okogie, Josh Green, Ace Bailey and Jaxson Hayes will start Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

With Keyonte George (ankle) sidelined, the Jazz are shifting Peterson into the starting point guard role. That should raise his ceiling considerably. Replacing George in the starting lineup is Okogie, who will be more valuable to the Jazz than to fantasy managers.
