Powell

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.

Powell will sit out a fourth straight game while dealing with an upper respiratory illness, and his next chance to take the court will come on Tuesday. With the fantasy playoffs wrapping up for many managers on Sunday, Powell can be dropped. Pelle Larsson should fill in for him once again.

Powell is set to miss a third game due to illness as he’s been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. With the 32-year-old shooting guard sidelined, Pelle Larsson had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes in Monday’s win over the 76ers. Larsson figures to make another start Wednesday.

An illness kept Powell out of Sunday’s tilt with the Pacers, and the quick turnaround to face the 76ers didn’t give him enough time to recover. With Powell out for a second straight game, Pelle Larsson should be the biggest fantasy beneficiary.

Initially listed on the injury report due to back spasms, Powell has been ruled out because of an upper respiratory illness. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Pelle Larsson being the most likely replacement.

Powell is dealing with back spasms, landing the Heat guard on the injury report for Sunday. If he’s unable to play, Pelle Larsson is the player most likely to move into the starting five.
