JAIME JAQUEZ JR. NEWS

Strong showing Friday Jaquez finished Friday's 99-96 victory over Orlando with 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact Even though Jaquez has been trusted into a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Jimmy Butler (calf) and the team's overall lack of depth, the UCLA standout has managed to carve a role for the Heat and has settled quite well after being a start at the college level. He's averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game since the start of January.

Productive in starting role Jaquez totaled 21 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Jaquez has looked comfortable in a starting role, and the absence of Jimmy Butler (foot) will mean the rookie should continue having a strong upside in the foreseeable future. The former UCLA standout has started in all but one of his last 10 outings, a span in which he's putting up 16.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.

Another productive night Jaquez produced 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Jaquez has started in eight of Miami's last nine games due to Jimmy Butler's recent injuries, but the former UCLA standout has been nothing short of outstanding in a more significant role. One of the most productive rookies thus far, Jaquez has averaged 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game in his 12 starts this season.

Efficient shooting display Friday Jaquez closed with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 113-97 loss to Phoenix.

Impact The Heat struggled badly on offense and didn't even reach the 100-point plateau, and while Jaquez's numbers didn't stand out, he was efficient and missed just two of his seven attempts from the field. Jaquez has done a good job when called upon a starting duty, and he should remain in that role if Jimmy Butler (foot) remains unavailable against the Rockets on Monday.

He's averaging 16.7 points per game in December.
