Back to bench Sunday Jaquez is not in Miami's starting lineup against New York on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jaquez started in Friday's loss to the Celtics and finished with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and four turnovers across 36 minutes. However, with Andrew Wiggins (back) cleared to return, Jaquez will revert to a bench role for Sunday's road tilt. Since Dec. 1, Jaquez has averaged 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game.

Impact With Tyler Herro (toe), Andrew Wiggins (back), Pelle Larsson (ankle) and Davion Mitchell (ankle) all unavailable Friday night, Jaquez will draw his first start of the season, and he should see a lot of playmaking opportunities. Per 36 minutes this year, Jaquez owns averages of 19.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.9 dimes per contest.

Scores 19 points off the bench Jaquez amassed 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 win over the Nets.

Impact With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Jaquez has seen his minutes in the mid-30s and has been a larger part of the offense. If Herro can't give it a go Friday in Boston, Jaquez should again see a bump in minutes and usage, which would put him on the radar as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues.
