Jaquez sprained his right ankle while defending Julius Randle during the second quarter of Saturday’s game. While it was initially announced that he would be available to return, the Heat changed course and ruled Jaquez out for the rest of the night. The minutes that would usually go to him should be divided among Nikola Jović and Kasparas Jakučionis.

Mathurin injured his right (shooting) thumb during Friday’s loss to the Spurs, playing 20 minutes as a result. He’ll miss at least one complete game with the injury, leaving the already shorthanded Pacers down one of their better scorers. While Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy could play more in Mathurin’s absence, this could also be viewed as an opportunity to get rookie Kam Jones more minutes.

Jović was listed as probable and has now officially been cleared to suit up. He has taken on a larger role off the bench recently, which has led to strong fantasy production. His last game was rough, but he’ll look to get back on track in this one.

It was more of the same for Siakam as he remains Indiana’s primary offensive catalyst during a lost season where they continue to pile up the losses as one of the worst teams in the entire league after making the NBA Finals just a few months ago. The 31-year-old forward has topped 20 points in four consecutive games and has delivered seventh-round fantasy value during that span, averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.3 blocks.

Nembhard is one of Indiana’s few scoring options capable of heating up and providing some additional offense and he’s been rolling of late, scoring at least 14 points in seven of his last nine games since December 18. The 26-year-old guard doesn’t offer a ton of appeal for fantasy purposes but he’s been a decent source of points and assists in deeper leagues.

Nemsith, who has played well since returning from a sprained knee, rejoins the starters for Friday’s game, with Johnny Furphy heading to the bench. The other change is Potter, who steps in for Jay Huff. While Nesmith should be rostered, fantasy managers can afford to leave Potter alone.

Once again, Jaquez gave the Heat some much-needed production off the bench as they held off the Pistons in Detroit. He’s scored at least 19 points in three straight and five of his last six, providing 10th-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Coming off the bench limits Jaquez’s value to managers in 10-team formats, but those competing in 12-team leagues should strongly consider adding him if he’s on the waiver wire.

Five of Wiggins’ seven rebounds were on the offensive end of the floor, the second time in three games that he’s accomplished that feat. However, what will stand out to fantasy managers is the 17 points, as Wiggins has met or exceeded that number in four straight appearances. Rostered in 56 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-40 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Managers competing in 10-team leagues may want to consider adding Wiggins, especially with Tyler Herro (toe) still out.

While the Heat only grabbed six more rebounds than the Pistons, their starting frontcourt combined to corral 11 offensive rebounds. Adebayo and Kel’El Ware (5/13/0/2/2) were responsible for three offensive rebounds apiece, while Andrew Wiggins grabbed five. Bam’s double-double was his second in as many games after missing two games with a back injury. The Heat head home for their final two games of Week 11, a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

Powell put on a show in the Motor City, finishing two points and one three-pointer shy of his season-highs in those categories. He continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (88) by a significant margin, providing third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. And as long as the Heat are without Tyler Herro (toe), Powell’s fantasy ceiling will remain high.

Larsson left Monday’s game against the Nuggets with an ankle injury and has not healed enough to return. Nikola Jović stepped up in Larsson’s absence on Monday, scoring 22 points on 7-of-12 from the field.

Siakam’s 26 points came as the Pacers lost their 10th consecutive game. The 31-year-old power forward is making the most of what’s already a lost season for the 6-27 Pacers. Siakam scored at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 games. The beat goes on for the Pacers as they take on the Spurs Friday.

This was the third time Mathurin has attempted at least 13 free throws in a game this season. On October 23 against the Thunder, he made 15-of-17 free throws and on November 17 against the Pistons, he made 8-of-14 free throws. The 23-year-old small forward had 36 and 25 points in those games, respectively. We’ve seen these blips with Mathurin before and the scoring tends to be unsustainable. He’s averaging 18.3 points per game this year and 16.1 for his career. Mathurin remains more of a good scorer than an elite one.

A 28.4 percent three-point shooter entering Monday’s game, Jović came up huge for the Heat on Monday. He matched his career-high with five three-pointers, needing eight attempts to hit that number. Add in the points, rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent night for the few who have Jović rostered. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has not been a reliable fantasy option this season. However, with Pelle Larsson leaving Monday’s game with a sprained ankle, Jović’s value may increase in the short term.

Jaquez finished Monday’s victory with his fourth double-double of the season, but this was his first with points and assists. The 11 helpers were a career-high for the Heat wing, who has been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats this season. While Jaquez doesn’t have to be rostered in all leagues, he’s definitely worthy of consideration in some 12-team formats, especially after Miami lost Pelle Larsson to a sprained ankle.

Ware was rejoined in the starting lineup by Bam Adebayo, who was back after a two-game absence. And the second-year center had a good night, shooting 75 percent from the field and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. Over the past two weeks, Ware has provided first-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. He’ll look to continue the improved production on Thursday against the Pistons.

Powell was one of eight Heat players in double figures in Monday’s victory, the tenor of which changed when the Nuggets lost Nikola Jokić to a second-quarter knee injury. The Heat guard continues to exceed the expectations of fantasy managers, providing fourth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Heat are off until Thursday when they visit the Pistons in their lone road game of the week.

Back in the Heat lineup after a two-game absence with a back injury, Adebayo was under a minutes restriction on Monday. Between that and Miami taking control of the action with a 47-point third quarter, he only played 21 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers was that Adebayo still recorded a double-double with four assists. The Heat play three games in the final four days of Week 11, so don’t be surprised if Bam gets an injury management night at some point.

Larsson sprained his right ankle when he stepped on the foot of Nuggets guard Tim Hardaway Jr. while running down the court in the third quarter.

Larsson missed time earlier this month with a sprained left ankle.

The worst three-point shooting team in the league this season, Indiana came out of the gate scorching-hot from distance, knocking down 7-of-12 from downtown as part of a 39-point opening quarter. Nembhard went 3-of-4 from beyond the arc during that span and chipped in five assists. They came crashing back to earth by the second quarter, ended up trailing 75-61 at the break, and never managed to mount a serious comeback down the home stretch. The Pacers have lost six consecutive games and are winless since December 8.

Not much went right for Indiana in this game. McConnell was the leading scorer off the bench, with his 16 points coming in 21 minutes. McConnell has had some solid performances this season, but he has been especially hot over his last two games, averaging 16 points while shooting 15-of-19 from the floor. However, Indiana has now lost six games in a row, with the Celtics up next on the schedule on Friday.
