Harkless has been included in the Kings' rotation in both of his games since being acquired from the Heat at last week's trade deadline, averaging 6.5 points, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.0 minutes per contest.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless' numbers aren't anything special, but he's at least getting some run with the second unit after he previously hadn't been a regular in the Heat rotation since late December. He looks poised to serve as the main backup to starting power forward Harrison Barnes until Marvin Bagley (hand) returns from injury.

Harkless (recently traded) is available to make his Kings debut Saturday against the Cavaliers, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless fell out of the rotation in Miami before being traded. However, he'll be in contention to be Harrison Barnes' backup with the Kings. That said, it's extremely unlikely that he'll have fantasy value in standard leagues.

Harkless, along with Chris Silva, was traded to the Kings on Thursday in exchange for Nemanja Bjelica, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless was signed to presumably fill the spot on the Heat that Jae Crowder created when he left for the Suns. However, Harkless quickly found himself outside of Miami's rotation. In being dealt to Sacramento, he could end up in the team's rotation behind Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes. Any consistent playing time will boost Harkless's fantasy value, but he probably still won't be relevant in most formats.

Harkless (illness) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless was dealing with a non-COVID illness, which kept him unavailable Wednesday against the Grizzlies. He'll be available to return Friday, but he's been out of the rotation for the vast majority of the season.

Harkless is out Wednesday against the Grizzlies due to an illness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since late January, Harkless has been largely out of the rotation as he's appeared in just two games since Jan. 23. So, his absence won't have a significant effect on the Heat's gameplan.

Harkless (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Saturday in the Heat's 112-94 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless hasn't made an appearance for the Heat since Jan. 23, but he's at least healthy again after missing just under three weeks with a bruised thigh. The forward was cleared to play in Thursday's 101-94 win over the Rockets as well as Saturday's contest, but he was held out of head coach Erik Spoelstra's 10-man rotation in both games. Look for that to remain the norm for Harkless for the foreseeable future, and his path to playing time will only become more muddled once the Heat get Goran Dragic (ankle) and Avery Bradley (calf) back from injuries.

Harkless (thigh) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
A bruised quad kept Harkless out of the last nine games, but he'll make his return to active status Thursday. Due in part to injuries and COVID-19-related absences all over the Heat's roster, it's been difficult to gauge Harkless's role with the team thus far. He's started three of his eight appearances, but he's also logged fewer than 10 minutes in five of those games.

Harkless (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game at Houston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harkless hasn't played since Jan. 23, but his run of absences due to a thigh bruise could come to an end Thursday night. It's been difficult to gauge Harkless' place in the rotation thus far, but it's worth noting that he's made three starts in his eight appearances.

Harkless (thigh) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the ninth straight absence for Harkless, who continues to battle what's apparently a pretty severely bruised left thigh. His next chance to play will come Thursday in Houston.
