Nikola

Jović

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.

Jović is on track to play on Tuesday, which would be his first game action since February 20. Even with Andrew Wiggins (toe) sidelined, the minutes that Jović needs to achieve fantasy relevance are unlikely to be there. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Jović has not appeared in a game since February 20, with the Heat labeling his injury as lower back injury management. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are available to absorb the minutes that would usually go to Jović, whose absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Wiggins’ injury means Miami will be thin at forward with both Simone Fontecchio (groin) and Nikola Jović (back) sidelined. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Myron Gardner should be in line for additional run against Charlotte.

Thursday’s game will be the third that Jović will miss due to lower back injury management. There are more minutes available to Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, but both were already ahead of Jović in the pecking order.

No surprises here, as Jović was given a doubtful tag on Monday. Jović’s absence could mean more minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., but the return of Davion Mitchell complicates the rotation.

Jović and Mitchell’s statuses impact the playing time of Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who could both be in line for additional minutes.

Jović is out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. His absence frees up a few more minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr., with the latter being the superior fantasy option.

Jović’s status is up in the air as he’s listed as questionable with lower back tightness for Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies. If Jović is ruled out, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see extra minutes.

Wiggins is officially out after being listed as questionable on the injury report. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović being candidates to fill the void. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Jaquez offers the highest fantasy ceiling.
