Poeltl was forced out of Sunday’s loss to the Nets after playing just seven minutes due to a back issue that has been problematic since the preseason. Sandro Mamukelashvili, who has filled in for Poeltl in the past, started the third quarter and should move into the first five on Tuesday. Also, look for Collin Murray-Boyles’ playing time to increase off the bench.

Jaquez has now scored at least 20 points in eight games this season, four times his total from the 2024-25 campaign. While the absence of Tyler Herro has opened things up for multiple Heat players, including Jaquez, he deserves credit for the strides he has made after an underwhelming sophomore season. Providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats, Jaquez is rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues. The Heat play three games in Week 10, starting with the Raptors on Tuesday.

Powell has scored 20 points or more in four of his last five games, and he also finished Sunday’s defeat with solid steal and three-point numbers. Over the past two weeks, Powell has shot 40.7 percent from the field, as he plays through a right (shooting) thumb injury. As a result, he has “only” been a top-100 player during that stretch. He’ll look to build on Sunday’s performance when the Heat face the Raptors on Tuesday.

While the Heat were unable to leave New York with a victory, Ware’s recent performances are cause for optimism in Miami and among those who have him rostered. The second-year center finished one rebound shy of his first 20/20 game, and he’s recorded three straight 20-point double-doubles. While some may be tempted to sell high on Ware, given his recent run, holding onto him wouldn’t be a bad idea. The Heat play three games in Week 10, starting with the Raptors on Tuesday.

Ingram left the contest briefly after tweaking his right ankle during the first half, but managed to return quickly.

They’ll return to action on Tuesday with a road matchup against the Heat before closing out a quick three-game week with showdowns against the Wizards and Warriors.

The 28-year-old is averaging 28.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.8 steals over the past two weeks, contributing third-round fantasy value during that sample size.

Mamukelashvili drew the starting assignment in this one with center Jakob Poeltl (back) missing his second straight game due to a lower back injury. The 26-year-old big man took full advantage of his opportunity, knocking down a season-high six three-pointers to finish with a team-high 24 points on just 13 shots. He offers enough scoring upside to emerge as a relevant fantasy option in deeper leagues if Poeltl winds up requiring an extended absence.

This was a second straight start for Ware, and while he didn’t match his four-block performance from Thursday’s game, he was able to set a new career-high for triples in the loss.

The downside of Ware is that sometimes he comes off the bench and plays less than 20 minutes, but nights like this one should limit how often that happens.

Jaquez got the starting nod for the first time this season. He has been excellent as a reserve this year, but he wasn’t able to capitalize on the move into the starting unit. It was a decent outing, but he fell short of his season average of 15.4 points per game despite playing a season-high 36 minutes.
