Added to the injury report Sunday afternoon, Holiday is now out for the Trail Blazers’ final game of Week 4. His absence should result in more minutes for rookie Caleb Love, but he is not guaranteed to start. What fantasy managers can bet on is Deni Avdija having the ball in his hands even more, as he is Portland’s best healthy decision-maker.

No surprise here as Adebayo has missed the last five games with a toe injury. The fact that he traveled with the team on a recent road trip and practiced with them on Sunday is encouraging, though it’s still unclear when he might be ready to return to the court. Kel’El Ware will continue to start in Adebayo’s place.

Holiday popped up on the injury report as questionable with right calf soreness mere hours before Sunday’s game against the Mavericks. The Trail Blazers would be missing much of their star power if Holiday is out with Damian Lillard and Scoot Henderson also on the shelf.

Herro, who practiced with the team on Sunday, told reporters he hopes to be back in a week or two. The 25-year-old point guard traveled with the Heat on their most recent road trip. All indications are than Herro is trending in the right direction and barring a setback he should be back on the court sometime next month.

Though he wasn’t able to extend his streak of 30-point games to three, Sharpe still had a decent night as a scorer. On top of that, this was only the second time this season that he had at least one steal and one block. Sharpe had been figuring things out on offense entering this game, and he’ll look to get back on track on Sunday in Dallas.

It was a tale of two halves for Avdija, who entered the break with just four points. He was able to turn things around after that, but it didn’t have much of an impact on the final score. This wasn’t a great night for him, but Avdija has scored at least 20 points in all but one game this season. He’s enjoying a breakout season, and that continued in this game despite a new season-high for turnovers.

Camara didn’t provide his usual supply of steals, but he continues to be an effective threat from beyond the arc. He is averaging a career-best 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, which has helped make up for a drop in steals and field goal percentage. Camara will continue to be an elite defender, but the best part of his fantasy game right now is his deep-range shooting.

Jaquez played 34 minutes off the bench with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo out. While the Heat will get its stars back at some point, fantasy managers have to be pleased with Jaquez’ production so far. He’s providing fifth-round fantasy value and is still available in most leagues. The Heat are off until their rematch with the Knicks on Monday.

Powell only has two games with at least 30 points this season, but both have come in his last three games. The 32-year-old shooting guard was basically unstoppable, scoring 38 points on 22 shots and going 8-of-15 from behind the three-point line. Powell has proven in recent years that he’s one of the best scorers in the league and will continue to be one of the Heat’s top players.

Both players have been ruled out for the game, and the Heat hasn’t provided an official update yet. However, this is a positive sign. It’s just a one-game trip for Miami before they head home for two games. They’ll play the Knicks on Monday and the Warriors on Wednesday, which could be a chance for them to get their stars.

This will be the fifth missed game in a row for Adebayo, who is dealing with a sprained toe. He was seen without a boot earlier in the week, so it seems like his return is close, but it won’t be in New York on Friday. Kel’el Ware will get another start in his place, but he could have a tough night if Mitchell Robinson suits up for New York. If Robinson is out with his own injury management, then Ware should have a strong showing against Karl Anthony Towns in the paint.

While Avdija’s overall stat line was a bit lean, he’s been on a roll scoring-wise. He’s scored at least 26 points in each of his last five games, a run that includes three 30-point efforts. Avdija has been a top-10 player in nine-cat formats since the beginning of November, evidence that nights like Wednesday have not been the norm. Avdija will look to continue this run of elite scoring when Portland visits Houston on Friday.

While Sharpe has reached double figures in all 11 games he’s played this season, the efficiency has improved substantially since the calendar flipped to November. He’s scored 31 points or more in consecutive games, and over his last five games, the Trail Blazers guard is averaging 25.6 points on 55.2 percent shooting. Sharpe hasn’t provided much production outside of points and three-pointers, making the percentages that much more critical in category leagues.

One game after securing a game-winning dunk, Wiggins logged another efficient scoring performance in the rematch against the Cavaliers. He had similar shooting efficiency and production from the three-point line in both games, but lacked the free-throw volume this time around. The veteran wing had one of his better rebounding performances of the season on Wednesday while also notching a season-high in assists along the way. Overall, he finished with solid numbers from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Ware secured his second straight double-double on Wednesday against Miami. He didn’t reach 20 rebounds, as he did on Monday, but was still productive on both the offensive and defensive glass. He’s filled in nicely for Bam Adebayo (toe), who has missed four straight games. It’ll be interesting to see how Ware’s minutes and production will be impacted by Adebayo’s eventual return. Regardless, he continues to put up numbers.

On the heels of a 33-point performance in the overtime win over the Cavaliers on Monday, Powell logged another strong scoring performance in Wednesday’s rematch. Three-point shooting was one of his main strengths, but he also finished with at least five assists for the first time this season. Through the first few months of the season, Powell has picked up where he left things in Los Angeles last year during his career-best season. He continues to be one of Miami’s most productive players.

Grant and Pelicans forward Yves Missi got tangled up near the baseline during the second quarter of Wednesday’s game. Things escalated and both players were eventually ejected for their roles. Grant, in his 12th NBA season, entered the matchup with the Pelicans averaging 19.7 points per game off the bench on 48.3/40.0/85.5 shooting splits, and has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season.

Smith should be available to occupy his typical role off the bench. He has been a solid source of steals this year, but he’s only played 17.1 minutes per game. Unless there are multiple backcourt injuries in front of him, he isn’t worth rostering.

Adebayo has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but this is a positive development for him. That will be a fourth straight absence for him, and his next chance to play will be on Friday against the Knicks. Kel’el Ware will continue to start at center until Adebayo is healthy. Bam was seen getting in some work after practice, with the posted video showing him doing defensive slides.

Jaquez was one of two Heat players to establish a new career-high in rebounds, with Kel’el Ware being the other. Challenging to assess during draft season, Jaquez has provided excellent fantasy value despite coming off the bench. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. It’s fair to question what Jaquez can do once the Heat get Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo back, but that shouldn’t be a concern at this moment. The only negative is that Miami plays only twice more in Week 4 and will be finished with their week on Friday.

Ware’s performance and effort level against the Cavaliers is what the Heat and fantasy managers want to see consistently. The second-year center’s 19 rebounds were a career-high, and one more than the Cleveland tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen combined to grab. Despite the inconsistent play, Ware is still close to a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. Games like Monday’s show what he’s capable of doing when the effort level matches the upside.

Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 11o, Wiggins was expected to provide late-round value in 12-team leagues this season. He’s been better than that so far, sitting within the top-75 in nine-cat formats. He made the game’s biggest play in Monday’s overtime thriller, slamming home an alley-oop pass from Nikola Jović as time expired to give Miami the win. The Heat not having Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo gives Wiggins more room to work out of necessity, and he’s answered the call more often than not so far.

Having recorded six games of 20 points or more in his first seven appearances for the Heat, Powell dropped his first 30-point game on Monday. He was in “attack mode” throughout, resulting in the veteran guard attempting 14 free throws. With Bam Adebayo joining Tyler Herro on the sideline, even more of the offense runs through Powell, and he’s been up to the task. With unrestricted free agency on the horizon, Powell is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats.

Avdija made a three-pointer with less than a minutes left in regulation to bring the Trail Blazers within two points. Portland led by two with 10 seconds left before a Paolo Banchero layup tied the game and they ultimately lost on a Desmond Bane three-pointer at the buzzer. Avdija has scored at least 26 points in four consecutive games. He’s been one of the best values relative to draft position so far this season. Avdija and the Trail Blazers have three more games this week, starting with a matchup with the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Sharpe had his best game of the year, dropping a season-high 31 points on the Magic. The 22-year-old shooting guard had been dealing with calf soreness, but had a great game in his first game off the injury report. Sharpe was in complete control against the Magic, seemingly scoring at will. He’ll continue to be the offensive centerpiece for the Trail Blazers.

Jović nearly recorded a triple-double off the bench against a Portland team that entered the night ranked ninth in defensive rating. He connected on three of seven attempts from beyond the arc and shot 63 percent from the field overall. The 22-year-old hasn’t exactly been a consistent fantasy contributor this season, but performances like this offer glimpses of his all-around upside as he continues to develop. An increase in three-point volume would go a long way toward unlocking his long-term scoring ceiling.

Avdija did a little bit of everything in this back-and-forth shootout, recording his second straight double-double in the process. The 24-year-old forward has been a top-10 fantasy performer over the past week, per Basketball Monster, averaging nearly 31 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one block over his last three games. It’s a small sample, but it underscores how impactful Avdija can be when he’s rolling — especially for a rebuilding Portland squad short on proven offensive options. The Trail Blazers will continue their five-game road trip on Monday night against the Magic before facing the Pelicans, Rockets and Mavericks to close out a four-game week.

Jaquez, who entered the night questionable with an ankle injury, served as Miami’s offensive catalyst, dishing out seven assists and delivering several clutch buckets — including a go-ahead layup with just over two minutes left. The 24-year-old guard has done a little bit of everything for the Heat while Tyler Herro remains sidelined following offseason ankle surgery, averaging 17 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 30 minutes per game — all career highs.

Sharpe, who has been battling calf soreness since late October, came up just shy of notching a double-double in this one and could’ve had an even better scoring night had he not gone a ghastly 1-of-8 from downtown. The 22-year-old scorer is shooting just 38 percent from three-point range on a career-high seven attempts per-game this season. It’s only a nine-game sample, so we’re anticipating some regression here since he shot nearly 45 percent from long range last season.

Adebayo was diagnosed with a big toe sprain earlier this week. While the 28-year-old center is set to miss his second consecutive game, it’s a relief for fantasy managers that he avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware should continue to start in place of Adebayo until he returns.

Jaquez has gotten off to an excellent start this season, providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, fantasy managers will have to account for the possibility that he doesn’t play in Saturday’s game against Portland after spraining his left ankle with just over a minute remaining in Friday’s victory. If Jaquez sits, that would free up additional minutes for fellow reserve Nikola Jović, who finished with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in 19 minutes.

Friday’s game was the first for Miami since losing Bam Adebayo to a foot injury during Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. After coming off the bench in the two previous games, Ware moved into the starting lineup on Friday, and he struggled offensively. The second-year center shot 2-of-7 inside the restricted area, which was a disappointing output. Depending on how long the Heat will be without Adebayo, they’ll need Ware to be consistently productive.

Larsson has started Miami’s last six games, providing inconsistent value on the offensive end of the floor. He’s reached double figures three times, with Friday’s point total being a career-high for the second-year wing. Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Larsson has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats since moving into the starting five. If Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. cannot play in Saturday’s game against Portland after suffering sprained ankles during Friday’s victory, Larsson will be worth the risk in deeper leagues.

For the first time this season, Wiggins has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. A top-50 player over the last week, the Heat forward has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats this season.

One game removed from scoring a season-high 33 points, Avdija finished one assist shy of his first triple-double of the season. He’s been everything that fantasy managers hoped he would be when the season began, closing in on top-50 value in nine-cat formats while being ranked well within that threshold in eight-cat. If there’s been an issue for Avdija, it’s been turnovers, as he’s averaging 3.9 per game. He only recorded three on Wednesday, however.
