Nikola

Jović

This is a new injury for Powell, so fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status ahead of Wednesday’s tip-off with Dallas. If Powell is sidelined, more minutes will be available for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic.

Jaquez Jr. sat out Saturday’s loss to the Pistons, but he’s on track to return following a one-game absence. Fewer minutes will be available for Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic if Jaquez Jr. is ultimately cleared to take the court.

Jaquez will be unavailable after initially being listed as questionable, which will open up plenty of minutes off the bench. Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic should take on extra minutes with Jaquez unavailable, though that likely won’t result in either playing enough to be worth streaming.

Jović had missed Miami’s last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team’s five-game winning streak. He’ll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he’s averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production.

Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they’ve been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel’el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jović, he’ll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.

Jović has missed Miami’s last four games with a hip injury, freeing up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio. However, with Tyler Herro available and Norman Powell (groin) considered probable, all three Heat reserves may lose out on playing time in Wednesday’s NBA Cup matchup. Of the three, Jaquez is the safest option in terms of fantasy value.

Jović is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a hip injury. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio should continue to see additional minutes off the bench in his absence against the Mavericks on Monday.

Jović had his hip injury pop up before Wednesday’s game against the Warriors and missed that one as well. He will now sit out one more, and with Andrew Wiggins (hip) also out, that should be more usage and minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio.

Downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, Jović is officially out for the matchup with Golden State. The Heat will have Bam Adebayo (toe) available, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio can also absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

Jović was a late addition to the injury report and was deemed questionable, but he has now been downgraded to doubtful. His expected absence should open up extra minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, though the potential return of Bam Adebayo (toe) will have the largest impact of the rotation.
