Pelle Larsson has been cleared to play in Friday’s matchup against the Hornets after recovering from an illness. While he is expected to start, fantasy managers should exercise caution, as Larsson’s performance has been erratic, making him a risky option in most fantasy lineups.

Pelle Larsson will step into the starting lineup for the Heat’s game against the Hornets, filling in for the absent Norman Powell, who is sidelined due to right groin soreness. While Larsson gets the nod, fantasy managers might find more upside with options like Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jović, or Simone Fontecchio, who present higher potential for impact in upcoming games.

Pelle Larsson was absent from Tuesday’s practice following a left quad contusion sustained in his last EuroBasket game. While he missed team drills, Larsson engaged in individual exercises, indicating his condition may be manageable ahead of the season opener. Having played key minutes last season, Larsson is expected to maintain a significant role in the 2025-26 season.
