2025 Fantasy Outlook

Powell is coming off the best season of his career in 2024-25, which earned him some consideration for the All-Star Game. He averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 three-pointers on a 48/42/80 shooting clip, though injuries slowed him down with 60 total appearances. In fantasy, he managed a seventh-round valuation in standard nine-category leagues on a per-game basis, making him an excellent pick late in 2024 drafts. Powell was entering the final year of his contract, and an extension was off the table with the Clippers preserving cap space, so he was flipped to Miami, where he's expected to claim the starting shooting guard role next to Tyler Herro at point guard. The Heat re-signed Davion Mitchell to back them both up, while Terry Rozier is on the trade block and seems to have run out of favor in Miami. Powell's usage rate was shy of 27 percent in Los Angeles, so it's asking a lot of him to match that in Miami next to Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo. Powell could get close to that, however, and he'll be making a season-long case for a new contract in 2026. Additionally, Powell should handle extra ball-handling responsibilities for a bit, as Herro is likely to be unavailable for the start of the season due to offseason foot surgery. Powell's still not a standout fantasy producer outside of points and three-point shooting, so while he's poised for another top-100 finish, he may not be the right fit for certain roster builds.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Norman W.C. Powell is the son of Norman Sr. and Sharon Powell and has two older sisters. He was born in San Diego, California in 1993, where he played high school ball at Lincoln High. He led the school to consecutive California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) San Diego Section 2A championships in 2009 and 2010. The team also captured the 2010 CIF Division II Boys' State Championship. Powell was twice named to the First Team All-State squad and also won the Western League MVP award twice. Powell then attended UCLA, where he earned a degree in history. He hosts an annual summer youth basketball camp back in his hometown of San Diego. Fans can follow Powell on Twitter (@npowell2404) and Instagram (@normanpowell4). From 2011 to 2015, Norman Powell attended UCLA and led the team to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances. As a true freshman, Powell played 18 minutes a game and averaged 4.6 points and 0.8 made threes per contest. His playing time gradually increased in each of his next three seasons. He earned nine starts as a sophomore but wasn't a focal point of the offense, forcing Powell to consider a possible transfer to his hometown university of San Diego State. However, a coaching change convinced Powell to stay at UCLA. He then started all 37 games for the Bruins during his junior (2013-14) season, when he averaged 11.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in almost 26 minutes per game. Powell's staunch defense helped the Bruins make it to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 that season. As a senior, Powell averaged a team-high 16.4 points (sixth in the Pac-12), 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 steals in nearly 35 minutes per contest across 36 games (all starts). Powell also averaged a team-high 17.0 points in five Pac-12 and NCAA Tournament games. With Powell's help, the Bruins again made it to the Sweet 16. At the season's end, Powell was named to the First Team All-Pac-12 squad. Powell was selected with the 46th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Iffy for Sunday

GMiami Heat

Groin

November 1, 2025

Powell (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

ANALYSIS
Powell is in jeopardy of missing his third straight game due to a right groin strain. According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the veteran swingman didn't participate in Saturday's practice, which doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday. If Powell is ultimately ruled out, Davion Mitchell, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez are candidates for increased minutes.

2015

Powell played 76 games during the 2023-24 season, the most he has played since his 2016-17 campaign with the Raptors. Although he was largely healthy, the same cannot be said for his per-game production. He closed as the 164th-ranked player in standard leagues, delivering modest averages of 13.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. At 31 years old, Powell's role is somewhat up in the air. Paul George opted to take his talents to Philadelphia, which could open up more playing time for Powell. If he can get back to 30 minutes per night, Powell's offensive talent could shine again. During the 2021-22 season, he was a top-90 fantasy asset, averaging 19.0 points and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game. This would likely be a best-case scenario, making Powell a sneaky late-round target. However, managers should keep in mind the Clippers also have Terrance Mann, Derrick Jones and Kevin Porter who will be vying for minutes in the backcourt, making the situation a tough one to gauge initially.

Powell was one of the frontrunners for Sixth Man of the Year last season, and he's developed into one of the best bench scorers in the NBA. The sharpshooter averaged 17.0 points per game on 47.9 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from three-point range and 81.2 percent from the free-throw line last year. The inability of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to stay on the court is what made Powell so dangerous last year, posting a 31 percent usage rate when those superstars are sidelined, and he scored at least 20 points in a third of his appearances. That scoring does hide a lackluster fantasy profile, though, with Powell providing just 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks per outing. You have to know what you're getting into when drafting a player like Powell, but be aware that he's almost useless from a fantasy perspective as long as PG13 and Kawhi are available.

Powell finds himself in a crowded Los Angeles wing rotation. Operating as a part-time ball-handler will help, but the rotation still goes 10-deep. He's connected on 41.0 percent of his triples across the last three seasons while averaging 17.9 points per game. When healthy, he's a quality source of efficient, multi-level scoring. Powell suffered a foot fracture just three games into his Clippers' tenure but has showcased his ability to get buckets in both Toronto and Portland. Powell's style sometimes results in disappearances from the rest of the box score, but he's a good fit in Los Angeles. Injuries or load management for Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George is always on the table, which adds the potential for additional value to Powell's fantasy case.

A mid-season trade sent Powell from Toronto to Portland, but that did not stop the UCLA product from having the best fantasy season of his career. Across 69 total games (the final 27 came with Portland), Powell averaged a career-high 18.6 points to go with 2.5 three-pointers (also a career best), 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals. One of the most reliable players in fantasy over the last two seasons, Powell should again be set for a productive 2021-22 campaign. He'll open the season as the unquestioned starter at small forward, where he'll have a chance to approach 35 minutes per game (he averaged 34.4 MPG post-trade last season). The 28-year-old, who signed a lucrative extension in the offseason, can be counted upon for scoring, three-pointers and steals production.

Coming off a breakout season that included several big-time performances in the playoffs, Powell's arrow is pointing up as we enter the 2020-21 campaign. He nearly doubled his previous career high in points per game to 16.0 despite coming off the bench for half of his 52 regular-season appearances, and fantasy managers certainly enjoyed Powell's sharp shooting numbers (a 49.5 field-goal percentage, 39.9 percent from long range and 84.3 percent from the line) as well as his 1.2 steals per game. Despite missing a couple long stretches with shoulder and finger injuries, Powell established himself as a vital player for the Raptors. With both Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol departing in free agency, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby may have to spend more time at power forward. That would open up more opportunities for Powell to see action, so an uptick in minutes and usage could be on the horizon in 2020-21. This is a great chance for Powell to crack the top 100 in fantasy.

Powell finished his fourth NBA season notching career highs in points (8.6), rebounds (2.3), assists (1.5), threes (1.1) and field goal percentage (48.6). He also played a career-high 18.8 minutes per contest, appearing in 60 games. Powell was good from the foul line (82.7 percent) and from deep (40.0 percent), though the increased efficiency doesn't move the needle much on his overall fantasy value. He's the preseason favorite to be the starter at shooting guard in 2019-20, but that role is far from secure as he'll compete with Fred VanVleet for it. VanVleet had a career year in 2018-19, capped off by a strong showing in the Finals. He averaged 24.6 minutes in the playoffs compared to 15.9 minutes for Powell, and VanVleet's 27.5 minutes per game in the regular season were significantly more than Powell's 18.8. Powell has yet to show consistency on either end of the floor and has not played 20 minutes a game in his career. The absence of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green should free up opportunities for him, but Powell will be a player to avoid outside of deep leagues this season.

Powell was a minor reserve on the wing for much of the 2017-18 season and averaged just 15.2 minutes, which was down from 18.0 a year prior. That translated to 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting 40.1 percent from the field and a brutal 28.5 percent from deep. Powell was essentially safe to avoid for Fantasy purposes and that shouldn't change heading into the upcoming campaign. The Raptors dealt DeMar DeRozan to the Spurs in a trade that brought both Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green Toronto. That's two more talented bodies on the wing that will be well ahead of Powell. In addition, C.J. Miles, Delon Wright and OG Anunoby are all expected to see time at either shooting guard or small forward, which leaves only a handful of minutes for 25-year-old. Despite the role, Powell was extended a four-year, $42 million contract last offseason, so he'll be getting paid much more than his workload might suggest.

Powell found himself being integrated into the rotation more and more in his second NBA season, playing in a career-high 76 games, while averaging 8.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 18.0 minutes. Those marked improvements across the board for the 24-year-old wing, although he did shoot just 32.4 percent from the three-point line, which was a significant decrease from the 40.4 percent he shot during his rookie campaign. While he spent the majority of his time on the floor backing up DeMar DeRozan at shooting guard, the ineffective play of DeMarre Carroll prompted the Raptors to experiment more with Powell at small forward. He was solid overall following the switch and had somewhat of a coming out party in the playoffs, averaging 11.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers across 25.3 minutes in nine games against the Bucks and Cavaliers. His strong play allowed the Raptors to part ways with Carroll in the offseason, as he was dealt to the Nets in what was essentially a salary dump. However, Toronto did opt to bring in C.J. Miles on a three-year, $25 million contract, which still complicates Powell's role a bit. The two are expected to battle for rights to the starting small forward role during training camp, meaning the results of that competition are going to have a large impact on Powell's potential as a Fantasy prospect. Still, whether he's given a spot in the top unit or not, Powell's youth and impressive play in the 2016-17 playoffs should mean a decent bump in minutes from the 18.0 he averaged as a sophomore.

After playing four years at UCLA, Powell was drafted by the Raptors with the 46th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. The 6-4, 22-year-old shooting guard showed how important experience can be in a transition to the NBA by his strong play at the Las Vegas Summer League, where he was the only rookie player to earn First Team honors, averaging 18.2 points, 1.0 three-pointer, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 26 minutes per game while shooting 51 percent from the field, 44 percent from three, and 71 percent from the line. The Raptors have Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Cory Joseph, and Terrence Ross in line to get most of the backcourt minutes, but Ross has struggled to put everything together despite having a lot of opportunities over the last two seasons, and that could open the door for Powell to have a meaningful backup role in his rookie season. Don't count on him to be of use in most standard leagues, but Powell could be an interesting stash in dynasty formats that have non-active spots to stash players in.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Interested in extension with Miami

GMiami Heat

November 1, 2025

Powell told reporters Friday that he is interested in staying with the Heat on a long-term extension, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

ANALYSIS
Powell and the Clippers were in the midst of extension talks during the offseason before he was dealt to the Heat in July as part of a three-team deal with the Jazz. The veteran guard is currently eligible for a three-year extension worth up to $77.4 million. However, if he were to wait until Jan. 7 -- six months after the trade -- then he would be eligible for the four-year maximum valued at $128.5 million. Powell took on a larger role on offense in the absence of Tyler Herro at the beginning of the regular season, and the former averaged 24.0 points on 47.7 percent shooting through the first three games of his Miami tenure. Powell has missed the Heat's last two games due to a groin injury, which puts him in jeopardy of missing a potential revenge game against the Clippers on Monday.
