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.

Rotowire
Powell generated 27 points (10-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes of Wednesday's 130-116 loss to Cleveland.
Powell has now scored 20 or more points in seven consecutive games, and he's topped the 25-point mark four times in that stretch. The veteran wing has seemingly taken another step forward after setting a career high in points last season with the Clippers, and he's averaging 24.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game with the Heat on 47/47/94 shooting splits.

Heat's Norman Powell: Goes for 22 points in win
Rotowire
Powell finished Saturday's 136-131 win over the Trail Blazers with 22 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 30 minutes.
Powell had the best season of his career in 2024-25 with the Clippers, but he's been even better so far in 2025-26. Despite missing three games between Oct. 28 and Nov. 2 due to an ankle injury, the veteran forward has been very consistent and productive when available. He's reached the 20-point mark in all but one of his seven appearances in 2025-26, including each of his last five outings. It's still early in the season, but Powell is already surpassing the 21.8 points per game he averaged in 2024-25 with a scoring average of 23.2 points per contest this term.

Powell (ankle) will be available to play Saturday against the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Powell tweaked his ankle during the first half of Friday's game, but he played through it and will continue to do so Saturday night. The veteran swingman has appeared in each of Miami's last three games, during which he has averaged 23.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 28.3 minutes per contest.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 25 points; tweaks ankle
Rotowire
Powell provided 25 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 126-108 victory over the Hornets.
Powell went back to the locker room early during the first half after tweaking his right ankle, and while he was able to play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see him skip Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers. If he needs to take a maintenance day, that would open up minutes for Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic.

Rotowire
Powell had 23 points (5-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 122-112 loss to the Nuggets.
The veteran wing led the Heat in scoring on the night and topped 20 points for the second straight game since returning from a groin injury.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 21 in win
Rotowire
Powell (groin) totaled 21 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 120-119 win over the Clippers.
Powell returned from a three-game absence due to a groin injury and immediately made an impact, surpassing 20 points while going perfect from the charity stripe. Brought in to provide reliable scoring for the Heat, the veteran has done just that through four games, averaging 23.3 points on 50 percent shooting from the field and 52.4 percent shooting from beyond the arc. While maintaining that level of efficiency -- particularly from downtown -- may prove difficult, Powell's steady offensive production remains vital for Miami as they look to stay afloat without Tyler Herro (foot/ankle).

Heat's Norman Powell: Iffy with groin soreness
Rotowire
Powell is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte due to right groin soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell was a very late addition to the injury report, which is a big concern for fantasy managers. It's possible the Heat let Powell warm up before deciding on his status. If Powell is unable to play, Miami will need guys like Dru Smith, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic to pick up some of the scoring load.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores game-high 28 points in loss
Rotowire
Powell scored a game-high 28 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT) Wednesday to go with nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three turnovers across 36 minutes in a 125-121 loss to the Magic.
Powell was Miami's primary option on offense, and that should remain the case until Tyler Herro (ankle) returns. He's locked into big minutes and a heavy usage in Miami, so he should be able to flirt with top-50 value while Herro is sidelined.

Rotowire
Powell logged 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists and one steal over 25 minutes during the Heat's 141-125 preseason loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Powell saved his best performance of the preseason for last, leading the Heat in three-pointers and assists while finishing tied with Bam Adebayo in scoring. Powell was acquired by the Heat from the Clippers in early July, and the veteran guard should see a sizeable offensive role to start the 2025-26 regular season for as long as Tyler Herro (ankle/foot) is on the shelf.
