Larsson is still likely to play given his probable designation. He would even have some fantasy value in deeper formats if Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. are unable to suit up after suffering injuries on Friday night. Larsson is coming off a 20-point game on Friday night as well.

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.

Larsson has been upgraded from questionable to available and should retain his place in the starting lineup. While he’s had his moments, the second-year wing has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Larrson was added to the injury report early Friday afternoon, potentially leaving the Heat down a wing within the rotation. If he can’t play, one of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović or Simone Fontecchio will move into the starting lineup. Of the four options, Jaquez offers the highest fantasy upside.

With Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Larsson was tabbed to make his first start of the season. He rewarded Erik Spoelstra’s faith with a solid effort against the Hornets, reaching double figures for the first time this season and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. In fact, Larsson nearly doubled his point total after scoring nine points in Miami’s first three games. However, even if Powell misses more time, Larsson isn’t the best streaming option on a roster with Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović (10/6/2 with two three-pointers).

The Heat are without Norman Powell for Tuesday’s game, as he experienced soreness in his right groin during pregame shootaround. Larsson will be the replacement in the starting lineup, but Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović and Simone Fontecchio offer a higher fantasy ceiling.

Larsson didn’t participate in practice, but he did some work on the side, suggesting that his injury may not be serious enough to keep him sidelined for the start of the season. Larsson logged meaningful rotation minutes last season and could be in line for a similar role in 2025-26.

While Sweden finished group play at EuroBasket with a 1-4 record, they did enough to qualify for the Round of 16 thanks to Great Britain’s win over Montenegro earlier Wednesday. Larsson has led the way offensively for the Swedes, hitting double figures in all four games he played, surpassing 20 points on two occasions. His national team role may not align with what the Heat ask him to do next season, as Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Norman Powell are expected to lead the way offensively. However, Larsson should be in a position where he can earn consistent rotation minutes after appearing in 55 games as a rookie.

There’s no shortage of players who take on starring roles for their national teams after being bit contributors for their NBA squads. That’s the case for Larsson, who’s leading the way offensively for Sweden after a solid rookie season with the Heat. He shot 50 percent from the field on Monday, including a 7-of-11 mark from two, while recording a complete stat line. What Larsson does in EuroBasket is unlikely to impact his fantasy value for the 2025-26 season, but adding confidence in his ability to handle scoring in a high-volume game isn’t the worst thing for the forward or the Heat.

Larsson and the Heat picked up their first win of the summer on Monday, and he led the way offensively as a scorer and playmaker. While Kel’el Ware being called out over the weekend grabbed the headlines, he wasn’t the only Heat player whose competitiveness left something to be desired in Miami’s first two games. Larsson stepped up against the Celtics, and the Heat will need him consistently next season.

Larsson was another Heat returnee who did not play well on Friday. A productive night at the foul line boosted his point total after he went 4-of-12 from the field. The second-year wing shot the ball better on Sunday, making both of his three-point attempts, and he was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Larsson is not a like-for-like replacement for Duncan Robinson, but additional opportunities may be available next season. And that’s with the Heat acquiring Norman Powell via trade.

The Heat added Larsson with the 44th pick in 2024, and he ended up playing a role off the bench during his rookie year. It wasn’t a significant role, but he did see the floor at times and started six games late in the year. He led the Heat in scoring on Saturday, and he did most of his work at the free throw line. The 24-year-old will look to take on a larger role in year two with Miami.

No big surprises on the Heat injury report heading into Friday’s game. While Larsson and Jovic are questionable, Duncan Robinson (back), Alec Burks (back) and Haywood Highsmith (Achilles) are all available. Larsson was questionable, but ultimately available against the Bulls Wednesday, though he didn’t play due to coach’s decision. Jovic was out Wednesday as he hasn’t played since February with a broken right hand.

Larsson returns after missing Miami’s final three regular-season games with a sprained right ankle. The rookie wing will provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to figure prominently in the Heat’s game plan.

Larsson is looking to return from a three-game layoff, while Jovic hasn’t played since February. The Heat will need to rely on Haywood Highsmith, Kyle Anderson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. to play heavy minutes off the bench if Larsson and Jovic are ruled out.

After having the best game of his career as a starter on Saturday, Larsson remained in a starting role against Washington. He took advantage of the opportunity and had another strong night. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said on Monday that he doesn’t have a timetable for Andrew Wiggins’ return from a hamstring injury, which could mean a lengthy absence for him. If that ends up happening, Larsson should continue to start. He has averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals, one steal and one block during these last two starts.

Larsson filled in admirably for the injured Andrew Wiggins, who is out with a hamstring injury. And with the veteran not traveling with the team for its three-game road trip, Larsson may have a few more opportunities to start in his future. His performance against the 76ers didn’t hurt Pelle’s chances, as he recorded a complete stat line and was excellent defensively. He isn’t rostered anywhere in Yahoo! leagues, but with the Heat playing three games during the first four days of Week 22, Larsson is worth a look in deeper formats.

With Alec Burks unavailable, Larsson made his first start since January 23 and second of the season on Friday. Unfortunately, the rookie wing did not provide much value, ultimately ceding playing time to reserves Duncan Robinson (15/4/1/2 with four three-pointers) and Haywood Highsmith (9/5/4/1 with one three-pointer). While worthy of a look in deep leagues due to the spot start, Larsson didn’t do enough to merit being added ahead of Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

The Heat are without Alec Burks for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Larsson will fill the void and is worth a look in deep leagues because the Heat are shorthanded on the wings. The other change is Herro, whose return from an illness pushes the ineffective Terry Rozier to the bench.

Larsson has averaged just over 12 minutes across 37 games as a rookie, but he took on an expanded role Monday with so many players sidelined. The points represent a new career high for the Arizona product, while the rebounds, assists and minutes are all the second most of his inaugural campaign. Larsson could see expanded run in the short term if multiple players continue to miss time.
