Heat's Pelle Larsson: Productive on both ends
Rotowire
Larsson totaled 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 117-105 win over the 76ers.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Productive once again
Rotowire
Larsson notched 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over Washington.
Larsson is making a strong case to remain in the starting unit for the time being, as he's racked up 29 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, five steals and two blocks in his last two starts while shooting 50 percent from the floor. Larsson is starting only due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (hamstring), but the rookie out of Arizona has turned heads with his play of late as the Heat aim to make a late push for a playoff berth.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Career-best night off bench
Rotowire
Larsson contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes off the bench during Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards.
The 2024 second-round pick set a new career scoring high while playing more than 20 minutes for the first time since Feb. 5, but Larsson's increased usage came with both Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez sidelined by ankle injuries, and in a game the Heat led by 19 points at halftime. Larsson can't be counted on to repeat this performance any time soon, but if Wiggins and Jaquez are both still in street clothes Wednesday in Cleveland, the 24-year-old forward might have some appeal as a bargain DFS option.
