Powell was able to end the regular season on a high note after a rough few months for him. He was able to start the season hot, but injuries hit his fantasy value hard. This was his highest-scoring outing since February, and he was one of three Heat players to score at least 25 points in this game. It was encouraging for him to have this type of performance, and he’ll look to carry this production into their play-in tournament matchup with the Hornets next week.

Powell did not play in Friday’s win over the Wizards, which factored into rookie Keshad Johnson playing 30 minutes off the bench. If Powell can play in Sunday’s regular-season finale, and the Heat still have a chance of moving into the No. 9 seed, Johnson’s playing time will decrease.

Powell’s sore right groin will keep him out of Friday’s game, one day after he logged 17 minutes in a loss to the Raptors. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will take on more prominent roles, with the former remaining in the starting lineup.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game with a sore groin, Powell said after pregame shootaround that he will play. If he starts, that would move Pelle Larsson to the bench, which limits the second-year wing’s value in active fantasy leagues.

Powell returned to action on Tuesday after missing the previous four due to illness, and now he’s dealing with a sore groin. Pelle Larsson remained in the starting lineup on Tuesday; Simone Fontecchio could see action on Thursday if Powell doesn’t play. Fontecchio was a DNP-CD the last time out.

Powell shot 2-of-7 from beyond the arc in Toronto, with the work at the foul line giving his points tally a modest boost. The veteran guard logged 24 minutes in his first game back from an upper respiratory illness that sidelined him for four games, with Pelle Larsson (7/3/1 with one three-pointer) remaining in the starting lineup. Miami plays three games over the final four days of the regular season; we’ll see how long it takes for Powell to return to the starting five.

Powell is back following a four-game absence due to an upper respiratory illness. It’s unclear if Powell will face any restrictions, but Pelle Larsson’s playing time will surely be reduced, regardless of Powell’s playing time.

Powell will sit out a fourth straight game while dealing with an upper respiratory illness, and his next chance to take the court will come on Tuesday. With the fantasy playoffs wrapping up for many managers on Sunday, Powell can be dropped. Pelle Larsson should fill in for him once again.

Powell is set to miss a third game due to illness as he’s been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. With the 32-year-old shooting guard sidelined, Pelle Larsson had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes in Monday’s win over the 76ers. Larsson figures to make another start Wednesday.

An illness kept Powell out of Sunday’s tilt with the Pacers, and the quick turnaround to face the 76ers didn’t give him enough time to recover. With Powell out for a second straight game, Pelle Larsson should be the biggest fantasy beneficiary.

Powell must be feeling better as the Heat moved him back into the starting lineup after coming off the bench following an injury absence. The 32-year-old responded with 19 points and three three-pointers. Powell has provided 12th-round per game value over the last two weeks. His managers will benefit from the Heat playing two more games this week.

Since returning to action after missing seven games due to injury, Powell has come off the bench in three of his four appearances. However, that has not negatively affected his production, as the veteran guard has scored at least 17 points in each. Against the Spurs, Powell shot 4-of-11 from beyond the arc, with a low field-goal percentage and four turnovers as negatives of his night. He and the Heat will look to bounce back when they visit the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Powell has missed two straight games, while Wiggins has missed eight in a row. Both could slot immediately back into the starting lineup, though Wiggins could face a minutes restriction after so much time off. Pelle Larsson and Simone Fontecchio could see their roles reduced with Powell and Wiggins available.

Powell, who came off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, was held out of Saturday’s loss to the Rockets. If he’s able to play on Monday, that could mean fewer minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson, especially with Andrew Wiggins listed as probable.

Added to the Heat injury report early Saturday afternoon, Powell is now out. He came off the bench the last time out, so the reserves will be affected more than the Heat starters. Simone Fontecchio may see his playing time increase with Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr. unavailable.

Powell wasn’t on the initial injury report, but has since been downgraded to questionable with a calf injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard’s status is up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Rockets. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. would stand to see additional usage if Powell is ruled out.

Simone Fontecchio replaced Powell in the starting lineup for this game, but Powell still played more minutes and was far more productive. Since returning from a seven-game absence with a toe injury, Powell has averaged 19.0 points, but he hasn’t contributed much value in other categories. He’ll continue to be an important part of the rotation, and whether he starts or comes off the bench, he should continue to play at least 30 minutes.

Powell returned from a seven-game absence with a groin injury on Saturday and scored 20 points off the bench. He fell short of that mark in this game, but he was still productive, and he moved into the starting unit with Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined. If Adebayo is back to take on the Lakers on Thursday, either Powell or Pelle Larsson will be pushed to the bench, though Powell should see plenty of shots regardless.

With Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined for this game, Powell will return to the starting unit. Powell scored 20 points in 31 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should play a similar role in this game. Ware will shift over to be the primary center.

Powell returned to action after missing seven games with a groin injury, and he was used in a reserve role. However, he played 31 minutes and put up a respectable stat line. The Heat are off until Tuesday, and that may be when Powell returns to the starting lineup. If so, Kel’el Ware may be the player most likely headed to the bench.

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.

At the time of his injury in late February, Powell was considered to be week-to-week. Pelle Larsson has moved into the starting lineup, but he has not been productive enough to merit rostering in most fantasy leagues. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are superior streaming options where available.

Powell had to leave Thursday’s game against the 76ers during the first half, as his attempt to play through his groin issue backfired after ten minutes of action. The good news is that Powell has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain, which is the lowest severity. Powell will miss at least four games, and his absence may open the door for Tyler Herro to return to the starting lineup.
