Norman Powell finished Monday's loss to the Raptors with 20 points (5-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers.While he has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances, Powell's field-goal percentage took a hit on Monday. He made five of his 15 attempts against the Raptors and has gone 19-of-48 from the field over his last three games. The decrease in field-goal percentage is why Powell has been ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, his season-long fantasy value remains high, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned.
Tyler Herro (toe) will not play against the Raptors on Monday.After returning from a toe injury to face the Magic in the Heat's most recent game, Herro is out again as Miami tries to stop a four-game skid. Simone Fontecchio will start in his place, joining Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell, and Norman Powell. Herro has had a productive season, though he's only appeared in six games due to various injuries. When healthy, he's been one of the Heat's top scoring options, and should continue to be once re-entering the lineup.
Davion Mitchell, Norman Powell, Simone Fontecchio, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Monday's game against the Raptors.The Heat have been forced to make a late change to their starting lineup. Tyler Herro's toe injury has put him on the sidelines, with Fontecchio filling the resulting void. While he doesn't have the highest fantasy ceiling, Fontecchio is worth a look in deeper leagues where three-point production is needed.
Norman Powell led the Heat with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and four three-pointers in a 117-108 loss to the Magic on Tuesday.Powell was the leading scorer for Miami, but the Heat offense, which has been one of the best in the league this year, faltered once again, leading to a fourth straight loss. Still, even if this was a slightly subpar shooting performance for Powell, he has been a consistent source of offense for them this season. Even with Tyler Herro (toe) back in the lineup, Powell was still able to get his typical shot attempts. Powell should remain a fantastic option for fantasy managers for the remainder of the season.
