Wiggins has missed Miami’s last four games with a toe injury, and Saturday’s game will be the fifth. While Myron Gardner had been the replacement in the starting lineup, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra called on Kel’el Ware to fill the void in Thursday’s win over the Bucks.

While Herro has missed Miami’s last two games, Powell has been absent for the last seven. For Thursday’s win over the Bucks, the Heat called on Kasparas Jakučionis and Pelle Larsson to move into the starting lineup, with the former scoring 18 points. If Powell and Herro play, Jakučionis and Larsson will come off the bench.

Isaac sprained his left knee during Thursday’s win over the Wizards. A return timeline still has not been provided by the Magic, but he’ll at the very least sit on Saturday. Goga Bitadze and Noah Penda are in line for additional opportunities within the Magic rotation.

Jakučionis started a second straight game with Tyler Herro (quad) sidelined, and this outing was far more productive than the first. He set a new career high for rebounds and had one of his most effective scoring nights of the season. Jakučionis clearly has plenty of talent and is only 19 years old, making him a valuable asset in dynasty leagues. However, his lack of consistent minutes makes him a difficult player to roster in standard leagues.

The second-year guard has been a starter for most of the season for Miami, but he hasn’t been a consistent fantasy contributor. However, he was productive in this game and ended up setting a new career high for scoring while still contributing in other categories. The former second-round pick should continue to play big minutes, but he won’t offer enough in the box score to be worth rostering in most formats.

Well, it wasn’t exactly an encore. Two days after finishing with 83 points, the second-most in a game in NBA history, Adebayo struggled from the floor and finished with a quarter of his total points from the win over the Wizards. Though he was able to get to the free throw line at a decent rate, he wasn’t able to replicate his 43 attempts from Tuesday’s game. He was still able to extend his streak of 20 point games to eight in a row.

For the first time since the end of February, Bane has surpassed 20 points in consecutive games. One night removed from dropping 35 in a win over the Cavaliers, he had another good night shooting-wise, knocking down 50 percent of his attempts. All that Bane’s line lacked was a blocked shot, and he has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. Orlando ends Week 20 with a game against the Heat on Saturday.

The Magic received double-doubles from two of their starting frontcourt players, Carter and Paolo Banchero (18/11/5). The former produced a complete stat line against the Wizards, with the four defensive contributions being the most in a game for Carter since a January 18 loss to the Grizzlies. Carter’s season-long fantasy value has been solid, but he remains a challenging player to trust fully in 12-team leagues.

Suggs finished Thursday’s overtime victory with a season-high point total, with this being his first game with 25 or more since mid-December. Add in the rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers, and fantasy managers had to be pleased with the Magic guard’s production. Orlando plays once more in Week 20, on Saturday against the Heat.

One day removed from scoring a season-high 23 points in a win over the Cavaliers, da Silva was even more productive on Thursday. The second-year forward recorded a career-high point total as part of a loaded stat line. Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, da Silva is worth a look in some 12-team formats while the Magic await the returns of Franz Wagner and Anthony Black.

Isaac played one minute before exiting Thursday’s game with what has been diagnosed as a sprained left knee. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze. According to the Magic, how much time Isaac misses will depend on his knee’s response to treatment.

Ware missed Tuesday’s record-setting game against the Wizards in which Bam Adebayo scored 83 points. It appears that Ware will return for this one and go back to his role with around 26-30 minutes per game. With Tyler Herro (quad/illness) questionable, Ware could be in for a bit of a bigger usage day if Herro does miss.

With Anthony Black joining Franz Wagner on the sidelines due to injury, da Silva returned to the Magic starting lineup on Wednesday. And the second-year forward took advantage of his latest opportunity, putting up 23 points on excellent percentages. Add in the rebounds and assists, and da Silva showed why he’s a must-roster player until Black or Wagner is healthy enough to return.

March has been an excellent month for Banchero thus far. In six games, he’s scored 24 points or more in five. He’s averaged 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and nearly 79 percent from the foul line. Even with the lackluster defensive production, Banchero has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats since March 1, according to Basketball Monster.

Bane finished Wednesday’s victory with his 12th 30-point game of the season. He’s now second on the Magic’s list of 30-point games in a player’s debut season, trailing Tracy McGrady (26). Bane only attempted three three-pointers against the Cavaliers, doing a lot of his work in the paint and just outside of it. And he could be in for another big game on Thursday, as the Magic host the Wizards.

The impact of Ware’s absence on Tuesday may have been slightly skewed by Bam Adebayo going off for 83 points, as Miami’s starting center played 42 minutes. If Ware remains out, the Heat will likely have to go small a bit more often than they did against the Wizards.

The Heat have won six straight games, and Mitchell’s improvements as a playmaker is one of the reasons for the team’s surgery. During the streak, he has totaled 29 assists and five turnovers. Mitchell may not provide elite scoring, but the improved efficiency and defensive ability have given his fantasy value a welcome boost. The Heat play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Bucks on Thursday.

It’s unlikely to become a trivia question in the future, but Fontecchio was Miami’s second-leading scorer on a night when Bam Adebayo dropped a franchise-record 83 points. Fontecchio shot 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and the 18 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a February 3 loss to the Hawks. In fact, Fontecchio’s 18 points matched his total from his prior five appearances.

Adebayo’s night was absurd, and it didn’t take long to realize that he was capable of doing something special. He scored 31 points in the first quarter and went into the halftime break with 43, with both accomplishments being franchise records. And despite holding a commanding lead throughout, the Heat didn’t pull Adebayo until late in the fourth, allowing him to put up the second-highest single-game point total in NBA history. He also set league records for free throws made and attempted, and became the first player to attempt at least 22 three-pointers and 30 free throws in the same game.
