Harper (thumb) is expected to play in Game 1 on Sunday against Portland, per Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com.

Harper injured his left thumb in Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver, but it sounds like he'll have enough time to heal ahead of the start of the playoffs. The rookie first-rounder is heading into the postseason on a hot streak, having averaged 14.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per tilt over his final 12 games while shooting 50.0 percent from deep during this span.

Quickley (hamstring) was limited to an individual workout Tuesday, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.

Quickley is battling a mild hamstring strain and continues to be considered day-to-day. For now, a questionable tag is being anticipated ahead of Toronto's playoff game against Cleveland on April 18.

Herro recorded 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.

Injuries limited Herro to 33 regular-season games in 2025-26, though he was productive during his time on the floor. Playing in his seventh NBA season, he posted averages of 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 31.3 minutes per contest.

Fontecchio racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block in six minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.

Fontecchio was used sparingly as the Heat were knocked out of the postseason. Across 70 regular-season games, Fontecchio played a relatively minor role with 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 16.7 minutes per contest.

Larsson closed with six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.

Larsson managed to play through a lower leg contusion to conclude his season. Across 70 regular-season appearances, he averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per contest.

Jaquez closed with 13 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one block over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Hornets.

Jaquez put together an impressive bounce-back season for Miami in his third NBA campaign. He totaled 75 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 three-pointers on 50.7 percent shooting from the field.

Gillespie ended with five points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Game loss to the Trail Blazers.

Gillespie continues to put up underwhelming production, scoring in single digits for the fifth time in his past six appearances. While it has been a breakout season for Gillespie, much of his success came when other players were sidelined. With the team now mostly healthy, he has shifted back to a modest role. During his past six games, Gillespie has barely been a top-300 player, averaging 6.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in just 22.5 minutes per game.

Williams logged four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Tournament loss to Portland.

Williams recorded a game-high three blocks, although that's really where the positives end. Despite being healthy, Williams continues to play limited minutes. In his past two games, he has averaged just 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 21.0 minutes per game. Tuesday's loss will see Phoenix face off against either the Clippers or the Warriors, with the winner going on to play the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

Sharpe had 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Tournament victory over the Suns.

Sharpe exceeded 20 minutes for the first time since returning from a 27-game absence due to a leg injury. While he does appear to be trending in the right direction, it is clear the Trail Blazers are taking a cautious approach. Based on what we have seen in his three games since getting back on the floor, expect to see Sharpe flirting with 25 minutes sooner rather than later.

Camara registered eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 Play-In Tournament win over the Suns.

Despite struggling on the offensive end, Camara did what he does best, accumulating a game-high four steals. After a slow start to the season, Camara has turned things around at the right time, putting up top-35 fantasy numbers over the past month. Portland will now face San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs, and Camara may need to be at his best if the Trail Blazers are to pull off an upset.
