Dru

Smith

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.

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

Smith did not see action in Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors, and he won’t be available for Thursday’s rematch. His absence has minimal impact on the Heat rotation, especially if Norman Powell can play.

After missing Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors, Smith has a chance to take the floor in Thursday’s rematch. The fourth-year guard has played a complementary role throughout the year, logging just one start while playing 16.3 minutes per game overall. He’s totaled only 26 minutes over his last four appearances.

Smith had nine points in 21 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Nets. The 28-year-old guard was initially listed as probable, so his availability against the Hornets on Friday isn’t a surprise. In his current role, Smith isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Smith is good to go after initially being listed as questionable. With Davion Mitchell (illness) unavailable, there should be a few more minutes available to Smith. That said, he won’t be worth the risk in most redraft leagues.

Smith played only three minutes in the win over the Hawks on Friday. While he’s questionable with a calf injury for Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies, he could see more minutes if he’s available with Davion Mitchell (illness) doubtful.

Mitchell showed up on the injury report Friday with a head injury before Miami’s first game following the All-Star break. The sixth-year guard has mostly succeeded as a playmaker in his first full season with the Heat, leading Miami in assists per game. Should he miss Friday’s contest, Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith could be utilized even more.

Mitchell has missed the last five games for Miami and is now expected to make it six absences in a row. Kasparas Jakučionis should continue to start, but his minutes have been too low to make much of an impact as a streaming option. Dru Smith should play more minutes, but his value is often tied to steals.

Powell has been managing a back injury recently, but it has been a couple weeks since he missed a game. If something changes, Dru Smith, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio will take on extra minutes
