Powell (ankle) is questionable to play Friday in Orlando.
Powell missed Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks due to the ankle issue, and it looks like he might skip Friday's game as well, with it coming as the first of a back-to-back set. If both Powell and Tyler Herro (toe) are out, Jaime Jaquez might be able to start, and Bam Adebayo would see a ton of shots falling his way.

Heat's Norman Powell: Ruled out with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Powell will require at least one contest to recover from a sprained left ankle. The star swingman can be considered day-to-day ahead of the first half of Miami's next back-to-back set, which begins Friday in Orlando. Pelle Larsson, who is questionable with a sprained toe, could fill in for Powell in the starting five. Jaime Jaquez should also be in line for an increased role.

Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
A sprained left ankle is jeopardizing Powell's chances of playing Wednesday. The star swingman could go through pregame warmups before the Heat decide if he'll be available. If Powell can't go, Jaime Jaquez and Dru Smith should see enough playing time to command streaming attention.

Rotowire
Powell (groin) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
This is great news for Miami, as the Heat previously didn't put a timetable on his return.

Powell received an MRI after Sunday's game, which revealed a groin strain. He was held out of Monday's contest against the Mavericks, but there hasn't been much clarity on how severe the issue is. For now, fantasy managers can operate under the assumption that Powell is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Rotowire
Powell (groin) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Powell underwent an MRI on his strained left groin Monday, and the Heat are awaiting the results. The star swingman can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Bucks, though the Heat aren't yet able to bring his return timetable into focus, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. Even with Tyler Herro (ankle) expected to make his season debut, Davion Mitchell should maintain a prominent role in the backcourt.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 25 points in win
Rotowire
Powell had 25 points (10-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over the Warriors.
Powell got off to a slow start in this one, as he struggled with foul trouble through the first half of action.

Powell has been putting up All-Star-caliber numbers this season with averages of 25.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.2 steals per game, although his scoring will likely dip once Tyler Herro (ankle) gets back to the court and fully up to speed.

Heat's Norman Powell: Goes for 19 points
Rotowire
Powell contributed 19 points (9-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 115-113 win over the Knicks.
Powell was unable to repeat the 38-point outburst he delivered in the loss to the Knicks on Friday, but he remains a consistent scoring weapon for a Heat team that's missing two of its best offensive threats in Tyler Herro (ankle) and Bam Adebayo (toe). Even though this 19-point output snapped Powell's run of games with at least 20 points at eight, fantasy managers should continue to trust him as a player who's going to produce at a steady rate every time he steps on the hardwood.

Heat's Norman Powell: Drains eight triples vs. New York
Rotowire
Powell logged 38 points (12-22 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during the Heat's 140-132 loss to the Knicks on Friday.
It was a high-scoring affair at Madison Square Garden on Friday, and Powell played a critical role in helping the Heat keep up the pace. He scored 23 points through the first three quarters before turning it on in the fourth for 15 points, and his eight three-pointers tied a career-high that he set March 17, 2021, as a member of the Raptors. Powell has been Miami's top scoring option in the absences of Tyler Herro (heel) and, more recently, Bam Adebayo (toe). Powell's high usage should continue in Monday's rematch against New York. Through seven games in November, Powell has averaged 27.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.7 threes over 31.5 minutes per game.
