Mitchell is back in the Heat lineup after an extended absence due to a sprained left shoulder. His return means that Kasparas Jakučionis will come off the bench. The other change is Fontecchio, who replaces Myron Gardner one day after the two-way forward recorded a double-double.

Love missed the last two games with an illness, but the 37-year-old power forward is available for Sunday’s matchup with the Raptors. He was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t a surprise. With Jusuf Nurkić also active, Love doesn’t have much of a fantasy ceiling as the Jazz close out Week 15.

Nurkić is back after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Nets. His return will push Kyle Filipowski to the bench, eliminating most of the third-year center’s short-term fantasy appeal. However, because of his silly season potential, Filipowski is worth holding onto in deeper leagues.

Powell is set to miss his second game in a row for personal reasons. Myron Gardner started in his place in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls and had 12 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes. Gardner could start again, but Jaime Jaquez Jr. saw the bigger boost with 20 points in 32 minutes off the bench.

Having missed Miami’s last six games with a strained left shoulder, Mitchell appears poised to return to action on Sunday. If so, his return would likely push Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Jakučionis should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Due to a right hip impingement, Jović is unlikely to play on Sunday. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, not enough time to have an impact on fantasy basketball. Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are all available; they’ll likely absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

Adebayo shook off an ice-cold stretch to put together an impressive 15-point fourth quarter where he knocked down 6-of-10 shots from the floor, sparking the Heat to a massive comeback effort that came up just short. The 28-year-old big man has delivered his usual blend of scoring and rebounding for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.1 points and 9.8 boards through 42 games. The Heat have a three-game week on tap including matchups against the Hawks, Celtics and Wizards.

Larsson saw an uptick in creation possessions on a night where both Norman Powell (back) and Tyler Herro (rib) remained absent. He came up with a pair of clutch buckets in the final three minutes as the Heat put together a furious late rally that came up short. The 24-year-old sharpshooter has been red-hot of late, averaging 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and two steals in four games over the last week. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper leagues.

Gardner knocked down a couple shots and grabbed double-digit rebounds to post a double-double during his first career start for the injury-depleted Heat as Kel’el Ware (hamstring) was limited to just three minutes off the bench in this one. The 24-year-old forward can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.

The Heat won’t have Norman Powell for Saturday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. The void will be filled by Gardner, a third-year pro who agreed to a two-way deal with the Heat in late July. Powell’s absence raises Larsson and Wiggins’ fantasy ceilings.

George led the Jazz with 26 points in the loss to the Nets Friday, but there’s more to this story. Late in the fourth quarter, the 22-year-old point guard twisted his ankle and went straight to the locker room.

Larsson continues to fill the void left by the injured Tyler Herro. Unfortunately, the second-year wing has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in a higher percentage of fantasy leagues. Hopefully, Larsson can build on Thursday’s production when the Heat host the Bulls on Saturday and Sunday. Given the matchup, he’s worth considering in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player.

Jaquez has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, as he continues to provide solid all-around stat lines. Thursday’s double-double was his fifth of the season and first since December 29, with the third-year wing also providing solid assist and steal numbers. Despite coming off the bench, Jaquez is worth a look in some 12-team leagues, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) out.

After recording two 30-point games in his first four appearances in January, Powell’s offensive output has tailed off somewhat. He’s scored 20 or more in six of his last ten games, and while that isn’t necessarily bad, fantasy managers may have been hoping for more. Especially when factoring in how productive Powell was to begin the season, and Tyler Herro being out with a rib injury.

Adebayo has been on a roll since the Heat’s January 13 win over the Suns. A 20-point scorer in nine of his last ten outings, the 6-foot-9 center has provided top-20 per-game value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks, according to Basketball Monster. This is the version of Adebayo that many fantasy managers hoped to get at the beginning of the season. The Heat end Week 15 with a home back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Bulls.

Sensabaugh has scored at least 22 points in six of his last eight appearances. The third-year wing is enjoying the most consistent run of his NBA career, and he has the look of a silly season standout.

And with the Jazz playing two more games in Week 15, there’s value to be had now as well.

One night removed from seeing his first action in eight games, Markkanen playing both games of a back-to-back was a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers. He didn’t have his best night against the Warriors, but the Jazz forward still recorded a complete stat line. The lingering question is what will Markkanen’s availability look like after the All-Star break? For that reason, managers need to keep an eye on players like Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski (12/4/3/2 with two three-pointers in 16 minutes).

While Bailey did score 20 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, he offered nothing else on the stat line. That wasn’t the case on Wednesday, as the rookie once again shot the ball well but supplemented that with solid rebound, assist and steal numbers.

George returned to the Jazz starting lineup after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, pushing Isaiah Collier (12/4/6/4 in 29 minutes) to the bench. George’s fantasy value has remained high throughout the season, but it’s fair to have questions about his availability moving forward since he’s getting the occasional night off for rest. Fantasy managers should not have too much to worry about, but George’s availability in back-to-backs is something to watch.

Fontecchio was one of several Heat players to find success on the offensive end. In only 20 minutes off the bench, he made the most of his limited opportunities and shot well from the floor, leading him to finish as Miami’s leading scorer off the bench. The fourth-year forward’s biggest contributions came from beyond the arc, where he set a new season high in makes. He’s now scored in double figures in six of the last seven games and has consistently contributed from beyond the arc and as a rebounder over that time.

Adebayo logged a fairly balanced performance in Wednesday’s loss. He recorded at least 20 points for the fifth straight game, while also securing double-digit rebounds for the third time during that stretch. Adebayo’s passing was also exceptional against the Magic, leading to a new season-high in assists. Add in his four three-pointers, and you get one of his most well-rounded performances in quite some time. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak of 20-point games to six when the Heat face the Bulls on Thursday.

Powell was limited to just 28 minutes in the loss, but even in his more limited action, he managed to finish as one of Miami’s top scorers. Efficient shooting allowed him to reach 20 points for the first time in three games. However, the first-year Heat guard didn’t make many other contributions aside from his scoring. His fantasy value was almost exclusively tied to his scoring on Wednesday, which is the risk fantasy managers run with having Powell on their roster. Yet, he’s always capable of big scoring performances and isn’t someone you want on your bench.
