Week-to-week with groin strain
Powell is week-to-week with a right groin strain, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
Analysis
Powell left Thursday's game against the 76ers due to the strain, and it looks like he'll be out for at least Miami's next four contests. It's possible the Heat will opt to reinsert Tyler Herro into the starting lineup in the absence of Powell, and Pelle Larsson should continue to warrant streaming consideration in the meantime.

Departs with groin injury
Powell won't return to Thursday's game against the 76ers due to a right groin strain. He finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 10 minutes.
Analysis
Powell appeared to aggravate an existing groin injury at some point in the second quarter, and the team quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game. The Heat will presumably send Powell in for further testing Friday before a determination is made on his status for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Cleared to play
Powell (groin) will play Thursday night against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis
Powell was added to the injury report as questionable earlier in the day due to groin soreness, but he's since received the green light to take the court. He's fresh off an impressive 26-point game Tuesday against the Bucks.

Questionable for Thursday
Powell (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis
Powell was a late addition to the injury report due to right groin soreness, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. Davion Mitchell (illness) is also questionable for Miami. If the Heat are shorthanded, guys like Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez could become more involved.

Drops 26 points in loss
Powell ended Tuesday's 128-117 loss to Milwaukee with 26 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes.
Analysis
Powell got to the charity stripe often and finished as Miami's leading scorer, albeit in a losing effort. The veteran swingman has reached the 20-point threshold in back-to-back games and in four of his five appearances this month. However, he also dished out zero assists for the fourth time this season. Powell is now averaging 22.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per tilt in February.

Scores 25 in victory
Powell finished with 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Powell was back to All-Star form versus Memphis, as he scored 25 points on the second night of a back-to-back set. He also shot 62.5 percent from the field, but he uncharacteristically missed five of seven free-throw attempts. Powell will now have back-to-back off days before the Heat returns to action Tuesday against the Bucks.

Good to go Saturday
Powell (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
As expected, Powell will suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set after initially being listed as probable due to an illness. The veteran swingman has appeared in just three outings this month, during which he has averaged 20.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 28.3 minutes per tilt.
