Norman Powell

Norman Powell (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Powell missed Miami's last game due to an ankle injury. He may be ready to make his return to the lineup on Friday night, however, as he is listed as questionable to play right now. He should be a good fantasy option if that's the case.

A sprained left ankle will force Norman Powell to miss Wednesday's contest against the Mavericks. The swingman is considered day-to-day, with his next chance to return coming Friday in Orlando, which marks the beginning of a back-to-back set for the Heat.

Fantasy Impact

With Powell sidelined, Jaime Jaquez projects as the most logical candidate to step into the starting lineup. This vacancy significantly elevates Jaquez's streaming appeal for the slate, regardless of whether he starts or sees expanded minutes from the bench.

A sprained left ankle has placed Norman Powell's status in doubt for Wednesday's contest against Dallas. Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that the swingman is officially listed as questionable for the matchup. His availability will likely hinge on how he feels following pregame warmups.

Fantasy Impact

Should the injury keep Powell on the sidelines, the Heat would need to look elsewhere for production on the wing. In that scenario, Jaime Jaquez and Dru Smith would be in line for enough playing time to warrant consideration as streaming options.

Facing his old squad, Norman Powell was the catalyst for the Heat on Monday, pouring in 30 points on a sizzling 12-of-18 shooting performance. He supplemented the scoring with six three-pointers, three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block to help Miami rebound from a Saturday loss to Detroit.

Fantasy Impact

Concerns that Tyler Herro's return would dampen Powell's outlook appear unfounded, as the veteran swingman continues to thrive in his first season with the franchise. Managers will look for him to maintain this momentum when the Heat visit Dallas on Wednesday for the second contest of their four-game week.

Norman Powell scored 28 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 7-8 FT) to go along with two rebounds, three assists and one steal in the 138-135 loss for the Heat against the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Powell was one of three players to score at least 24 points in a high-scoring loss for Miami. The return of Tyler Herro has not impacted his production as a scorer so far.
