Kasparas

Jakučionis

Herro is back after sitting out the last two games with a quad injury, and his return pushes Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench. Also of note is Norman Powell coming off the bench in his return from a back injury, leaving Larsson in the starting lineup.

While Herro has missed Miami’s last two games, Powell has been absent for the last seven. For Thursday’s win over the Bucks, the Heat called on Kasparas Jakučionis and Pelle Larsson to move into the starting lineup, with the former scoring 18 points. If Powell and Herro play, Jakučionis and Larsson will come off the bench.

Jakučionis started a second straight game with Tyler Herro (quad) sidelined, and this outing was far more productive than the first. He set a new career high for rebounds and had one of his most effective scoring nights of the season. Jakučionis clearly has plenty of talent and is only 19 years old, making him a valuable asset in dynasty leagues. However, his lack of consistent minutes makes him a difficult player to roster in standard leagues.

Herro will miss a second straight game with a quad injury, meaning that Kasparas Jakučionis will remain in the starting lineup. The rookie has not done enough in prior opportunities to merit streaming in this spot.

Herro did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Wizards, with Kasparas Jakučionis replacing him in the starting lineup. With Norman Powell still out, the rookie could remain in the starting lineup if Herro can’t play.

Already without Andrew Wiggins, the Heat will also be without Tyler Herro for Tuesday’s game. As a result, Jakučionis moves into the starting lineup, but he has offered limited fantasy value on most nights when allowed to start.

Mitchell dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this season, which forced him to miss time in late January. However, he’ll play through a contusion in this game, meaning he’ll occupy his typical spot in the starting unit.

Mitchell missed six games in late January with a sprained left shoulder and is now dealing with a contusion to the same shoulder. If he’s unable to play on Tuesday, the Heat will likely turn to Kasparas Jakučionis to fill the void.

Mitchell is available after being listed as questionable on Miami’s initial injury report. Since he can play, Kasparas Jakučionis will come off the bench, which eliminates most of the rookie’s fantasy value.

Powell was a late addition to the injury report after playing 30 minutes in Tuesday’s game against the Bucks. With Davion Mitchell also questionable with an illness, that could mean Tyler Herro moves into the starting lineup, and Pelle Larsson and Kasparas Jakucionis see more minutes if Powell winds up missing this game.
