Herro will take the floor for the first time all season on Monday. He led the Heat in scoring a season ago, which is when he earned his first All-Star selection. His return comes on a day when the Heat will be without its leading scorer, Norman Powell, who is dealing with a groin injury. Fantasy managers should be prepared to be patient with Herro in the early going, with him potentially being under a minutes restriction as he works his way back into form. The Heat are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Added to the Knicks’ injury report late Monday morning, Robinson is now out. With Landry Shamet (shoulder) injured, either Miles McBride or Josh Hart should move into the starting lineup. Hart offers solid 12-team league value whether he starts or comes off the bench, while McBride’s inconsistent scoring makes him challenging to trust fully.

Wiggins is set to miss his third consecutive game with a left hip flexor injury. The 30-year-old forward’s absence will likely lead to another start for Kel’el Ware, who has already started 13 games this season. Ware should be rostered in most formats at this point.

Powell dropped 32 points in the win over the 76ers on Sunday, but he’ll sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Mavericks on Monday. The 32-year-old shooting guard had been on the injury report with left hip irritation in previous games, but is now dealing with a groin injury. His usage should be absorbed by Tyler Herro, who is set to make his season debut Monday.

Robinson popped up on the injury report with an illness on Monday morning, putting his status in doubt for the game against the Nets. The 27-year-old center will have the afternoon to recover from his illness. Miles McBride and Josh Hart are candidates to move into the starting lineup if Robinson is ultimately ruled out.

With it being initially reported a few days ago that Herro was targeting November 24 for his season debut, Sunday’s report is unsurprising. If he does play against the Mavericks, fantasy managers should anticipate the Heat guard being under a minutes restriction. Norman Powell’s fantasy value should be fine once Herro is fully cleared, but Pelle Larsson may take a significant hit to his.

Shamet injured his right shoulder during Saturday’s loss to the Magic. The good news is that the Knicks are listing the injury as a sprain, as he dislocated the same shoulder during the 2024-25 preseason. Mohamed Diawara and Tyler Kolek played rotation minutes on Saturday, but neither is in a position to provide tangible fantasy value.

Adebayo has scored at least 18 points in all three games he’s played since returning from a toe injury, and he recorded his first post-injury double-double on Sunday. Over the past week, he’s been ranked just outside the top-25 in nine-cat formats. Adebayo’s season-long value has not aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (32), but he isn’t far away. The Heat play three games during Week 6, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

While his production did slow in recent games ahead of Sunday’s matinee, Jaquez continues to outperform his Yahoo! ADP of 135. Having scored 20 points or more in six games this season, he’s posting career-high averages in points, rebounds and assists. Jaquez is rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but the percentage may decrease slightly during Week 6 due to the Heat’s poor schedule. Two of their three games are on Monday and Wednesday, when most of the league is playing, leaving fringe options less desirable in fantasy.

A double-digit rebounder in eight straight games, Ware has posted 20-point double-doubles in two straight. This version of the second-year center is the one the Heat wants to see consistently, and he’s answering the call. Over the past two weeks, Ware has provided top-10 per-game value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately for managers who have him rostered, the Heat play three games during Week 6 instead of four.

Powell came out hot on Sunday, scoring ten points in the first quarter. The Heat guard would finish with his fourth 30-point game of the season, once again leading the way offensively. Powell has been a fantasy standout thus far, and his play has been one reason the Heat have been as explosive offensively as they’ve been in years. Tyler Herro, who has been out after undergoing offseason ankle surgery, could make his season debut on Monday. Powell’s fantasy value should be fine, but the dynamic between those two is worth tracking.

Due to left hip irritation, Powell was initially probable for Sunday’s game. He’ll take on his usual role as Miami’s top perimeter scoring option in what could be the team’s final game before Tyler Herro makes his season debut. It has been reported that the Heat guard is targeting Monday’s home game against the Mavericks for his first action after undergoing offseason ankle surgery.

Brunson — who ranks tied for 10th in the NBA at 28.4 points per game this season — came out blazing hot, knocking down eight of his first 13 shots and piling up a game-high 23 points by halftime. He managed just eight attempts after the break as Orlando seized control late in the third quarter and never let New York back into it. He’ll carry the momentum into a tasty matchup on Monday against the defensively-challenged Nets as the Knicks kick off a four-game week.

Towns lived at the foul line in this one — nearly half of his 24 points came at the stripe — but even his impressive second-half surge wasn’t enough to keep New York afloat against an unexpected Magic scoring avalanche. The 30-year-old poured in 18 of his 24 after the break, going 4-of-7 from the field and drawing eight free throws during that stretch. He’ll aim to keep the momentum going when the Knicks kick off a four-game week on Monday against the lowly Nets.

Shamet injured his right shoulder when he ran into a Wendell Carter Jr. screen. This is the same shoulder he dislocated during the 2024-25 preseason, spending months on the shelf before joining the Knicks mid-season. With Miles McBride now questionable due to an illness, the Knicks have called on Tyler Kolek and Mohamed Diawara to play rotation minutes off the bench.

Wiggins missed Friday’s game against the Bulls with Kel’el Ware moving into the starting lineup. The 30-year-old small forward is dealing with a left hip flexor injury. Wiggins’ absence is likely more good news for fantasy managers that have Ware, who should continue to start.

Powell is listed as probable with left hip irritation. The 32-year-old shooting guard is off to a great start, providing second-round value so far this year. With Tyler Herro (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (hip) already ruled out, this is another opportunity for Powell to have a ceiling game.

McBride popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness mere hours before game-time against the Magic on Saturday. Typically, that doesn’t bode well for players in McBride’s situation. McBride doesn’t have a path towards much fantasy value with Jalen Brunson back from an ankle injury anyway.

Ware moved into the starting lineup with Andrew Wiggins out against the Bulls on Friday. It was the 21-year-old center’s 12th start of the year as he also picked up starts while Bam Adebayo was out for two weeks with a toe injury. Ware showed his upside once again when given the opportunity with 20 points and 14 rebounds in 28 minutes. While he figures to move back to the bench soon, Ware still has to be rostered in most leagues.

Adebayo returned from a two-week absence with a toe injury against the Warriors on Wednesday and had 20 points in 29 minutes. The 28-year-old center had 18 points in 29 minutes in the Heat’s route of the Bulls on Friday. Adebayo is showing no ill effects in the two games since returning from his injury. The Heat will be back in action against the 76ers on Sunday.

The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Ware will fill the void, making his 12th start of the season. While the effort can wane at times, the second-year center should be rostered in most 12-team leagues.

Bridges only shot 1-of-5 from deep on Wednesday, but the overall production remained solid for the versatile wing. Having entered the season with a Yahoo! ADP in the high-70s, Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats and second-round value in eight-cat. Thus far, he has been one of the best value picks in fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to assume that will change anytime soon. Bridges managers can consider selling high, but that may not be a good idea due to his production and availability.

After a slow start to the season due to back and finger injuries, Hart has looked more comfortable recently. He recorded his third double-double on Wednesday and has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he isn’t starting for the injured OG Anunoby, the starter’s absence does raise Hart’s fantasy ceiling. While New York plays only one more game in Week 5, it will play four in Week 6. Hart is worth adding ahead of Saturday’s game against Orlando.

Towns recorded another double-double on Wednesday, salvaging what was a rather ordinary night by his standards. He was 1-of-6 from three and missed four free throws, so the percentages took a beating. The good news for Towns managers is that the rebounds, assists and steals were present, so all wasn’t lost from a value standpoint. He’ll look to clean up the shooting when the Knicks visit Orlando on Saturday.

Back in the Knicks’ lineup after missing two games with a sprained ankle, Brunson made up for lost time with a solid effort to help New York pick up its first road win of the season. The foul shooting was a bit off, but the overall line will undoubtedly please those who have Brunson rostered. Just as encouraging is that he played 35 minutes without any flare-ups. Miles McBride returned to the bench on Wednesday, finishing with 11 points, two assists, two blocks and three three-pointers. With Brunson available, McBride isn’t worth holding onto in most fantasy leagues.

Ware moved to the bench with Bam Adebayo returning from a toe injury. The 21-year-old center still saw 19 minutes against the Warriors. While Ware didn’t have much of an offensive game with seven points on 10 attempts, he still pulled down 16 rebounds. Ware’s fantasy ceiling is lower and he’ll see fewer minutes now that he’s coming off the bench, but he’s still worth rostering in fantasy basketball.

Powell made at least four three-pointers for the fourth time in his last five games. The 32-year-old shooting guard is still the top dog on the Heat until Tyler Herro (ankle) returns. One of the most consistent scorers in the league, don’t expect Powell’s role to change much.

Adebayo missed two weeks and six games with a toe injury before returning to the Heat’s lineup on Wednesday.

Ware’s fantasy value will take a hit when Adebayo returns, though the former is still worth rostering in standard leagues.

Hart finished one assist shy of a double-double, and that’s a category where he can provide added value while the Knicks await Jalen Brunson’s return from a sprained ankle. Hart’s averages have decreased due to his being moved to the bench, with the forward ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Hart has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. That’s why he is still rostered in 76 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Despite joining his teammates in Miami late for personal reasons, McBride had one of his best games of the season on Monday. After totaling 27 points on 35.7 percent shooting in his previous four appearances, Deuce recorded his first 20-point game of the season. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out, it would have been nice to get some assist production from McBride, but the points, rebounds, and three-pointers were good. With OG Anunoby also out, McBride should remain a starter until those two return.

Bridges continues to provide elite category-league value, recording another complete stat line on Monday. With Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby out due to injury, the Knicks will need even more production from Bridges in the short term.

Towns extended his double-double streak to nine games on Monday, but this was not his best performance by a long shot. The Knicks forward/center was 1-of-7 from beyond the arc and never seemed to establish a rhythm offensively.

Fontecchio has scored at least 13 points in three of his last four games, with Monday’s total being the highest in a game for him since October 30. The Heat forward is mainly a points and three-pointers option, and he’s been relatively effective in those areas. Fontecchio is averaging 11.5 points and 2.6 three-pointers per game.

Ware has reached double digits in rebounds in five straight games, recording double-doubles in the last four. This is the consistency that the Heat and fantasy managers have desired.
