Powell

Powell was able to end the regular season on a high note after a rough few months for him. He was able to start the season hot, but injuries hit his fantasy value hard. This was his highest-scoring outing since February, and he was one of three Heat players to score at least 25 points in this game. It was encouraging for him to have this type of performance, and he’ll look to carry this production into their play-in tournament matchup with the Hornets next week.

Powell is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Wizards. If he returns to the starting lineup, the Heat will likely open up a spot by moving Kel’el Ware to the bench.

Powell did not play in Friday’s win over the Wizards, which factored into rookie Keshad Johnson playing 30 minutes off the bench. If Powell can play in Sunday’s regular-season finale, and the Heat still have a chance of moving into the No. 9 seed, Johnson’s playing time will decrease.

Powell’s sore right groin will keep him out of Friday’s game, one day after he logged 17 minutes in a loss to the Raptors. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will take on more prominent roles, with the former remaining in the starting lineup.

Herro is dealing with right foot soreness, and Powell is dealing with right groin soreness, so there is a chance that both players sit out against Washington. With Miami locked into the No. 10 seed, there is no reason for the team to play its stars if they are banged up. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. should see more run if Herro and Powell have to sit out.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game with a sore groin, Powell said after pregame shootaround that he will play. If he starts, that would move Pelle Larsson to the bench, which limits the second-year wing’s value in active fantasy leagues.

Powell returned to action on Tuesday after missing the previous four due to illness, and now he’s dealing with a sore groin. Pelle Larsson remained in the starting lineup on Tuesday; Simone Fontecchio could see action on Thursday if Powell doesn’t play. Fontecchio was a DNP-CD the last time out.

Powell shot 2-of-7 from beyond the arc in Toronto, with the work at the foul line giving his points tally a modest boost. The veteran guard logged 24 minutes in his first game back from an upper respiratory illness that sidelined him for four games, with Pelle Larsson (7/3/1 with one three-pointer) remaining in the starting lineup. Miami plays three games over the final four days of the regular season; we’ll see how long it takes for Powell to return to the starting five.

Powell is back following a four-game absence due to an upper respiratory illness. It’s unclear if Powell will face any restrictions, but Pelle Larsson’s playing time will surely be reduced, regardless of Powell’s playing time.

After missing Miami’s last four games with an upper respiratory illness, Powell is on track to play against the Raptors. Pelle Larsson may remain in the starting lineup due to the time that Powell has missed, but his playing time would still decrease.
