Shines in starting role Jaquez posted 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game win over the Bulls.

Impact Jaquez had big shoes to fill as he entered the starting lineup in place of Jimmy Butler (knee), and he didn't disappoint. Friday marked his second time in four games scoring 20 or more points, and he did so with efficiency. Jaquez also packed the stat sheet with an impressive effort on the glass and as a distributor of the basketball The Heat will need to continue to lean on the rookie forward entering the team's opening-round series against Boston.

Joins starting five Jaquez is starting Friday's Play-In Game against the Bulls.

Impact Jaquez will take the place of Jimmy Butler, who is expected to miss several weeks with an MCL sprain. While Butler is surely a big loss for the Heat, Jaquez has shown that he can produce while playing with the first unit, scoring in double figures in 16 of 20 starts during the regular season.

APRIL 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decent stat line in loss Jaquez closed Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game loss to the 76ers with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Jaquez looked good despite coming off the bench and was one of Miami's top contributors on offense. He's widely expected to move into the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Bulls due to the absence of Jimmy Butler (knee), and that would translate into an uptick in his usage rate.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shines off bench in Sunday win Jaquez racked up 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 118-103 win over Toronto.

Impact Jaquez thrived in a starting role earlier this season, and while he had some problems adjusting to a bench role as the campaign progressed, there's no question the rookie out of UCLA was one of the league's best first-year players while also ending the season on a strong note. Jaquez should see decent minutes off the bench when the Heat take on the 76ers in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday.

APRIL 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sniffs double-double Jaquez posted 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 125-103 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Jaquez registered his ninth outing with 20 or more points this season, and while he has been losing his place in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation compared to earlier in the campaign, he's still capable of putting up solid numbers on any given game. Jaquez has averaged just 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game over his last 10 appearances, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside into the regular-season finale against the Raptors on Sunday.

APRIL 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Provides spark off bench Jaquez accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 119-104 win over the Rockets.

Impact Jaquez and Tyler Herro combined for 29 points off Miami's bench during Friday's win over Houston. The rookie Jaquez seemed to bust out of his shooting slump, as he is converting just 25.9 percent of his 2.7 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 appearances.

Good to go against Portland Jaquez (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez returned from a knee injury, sliding into the starting lineup after Jimmy Butler was ruled out due to an illness. Despite the promotion, Jaquez failed to reach any great heights, something that has become commonplace over the past few weeks. At best, managers should view him as a viable streaming consideration, if and when the schedule dictates.

MARCH 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Tuesday Jaquez (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left knee soreness. The rookie forward will replace Jimmy Butler (illness) in the starting lineup. Jaquez is averaging 15.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes across his previous 10 starts this season.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Jaquez (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Jaquez may miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness. Kevin Love (heel) is also questionable, so if both forwards are available, Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic would likely see decreased playing time.

MARCH 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Sunday Jaquez is out Sunday versus Cleveland due to discomfort in his left knee and ankle, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Jaquez has averaged 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.0 minutes across his last five appearances, two of which were starts. Caleb Martin (knee) remains questionable, and his status will need to be monitored, with Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic being candidates to step up in Miami's forward rotation.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Sunday Jaquez has been given a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to both knee and ankle issues, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact This is Jaquez's first time popping up on Miami's injury report with these specific injuries. His status will presumably depend on how he is feeling after testing things out during pregame warmups. The rookie has averaged 9.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 triples across 27.9 minutes in March. Should he ultimately not get the green light, Hayward Highsmith and Nikola Jovic could see increased minutes.

MARCH 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Wednesday Jaquez will head to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Cavs.

Impact Jaquez is being replaced by Patty Mills in the starting unit for Wednesday's game, so his value will take a bit of a hit with the demotion to the second unit. The Heat will start Mills, Terry Rozier, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Thomas Bryant on Wednesday evening.
