Jaquez will start Sunday's preseason game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat are resting Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell, while Nikola Jovic (back) is out. Jaquez, who is coming off a letdown of a sophomore season, has looked sharp in the preseason thus far.

Jaquez finished with 19 points (6-8 FG, 7-7 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes of Wednesday's 112-107 preseason loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the first two preseason games, Jaquez came off the bench Wednesday with the Heat giving Dru Smith a look in the starting lineup. Regardless of whether he starts or not, Jaquez has been a bright spot in the preseason, and it seems like coach Erik Spoelstra is going to rely on him quite a bit in the absence of Tyler Herro (ankle).

Jaquez will come off the bench for Wednesday's preseason game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez started each of Miami's first two preseason games, but he'll retreat to a reserve role Wednesday. Dru Smith replaces him in the first five. Still, expect Jaquez to hold a significant role off the bench.

Jaquez finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two turnovers across 23 minutes of Monday's 103-93 preseason loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Notably, Jaquez has started both preseason games for the Heat so far. With the team aiming to play at a faster pace, the Heat are leaning into smaller lineups so far, which benefits guys like Jaquez and Nikola Jovic. With Tyler Herro (ankle) sidelined to begin the season, Jaquez appears to be picking up steam as a candidate to start on Opening Night.

Jaquez is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez will accompany Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell and Nikola Jovic in the starting lineup for this preseason contest in Puerto Rico. Jaquez has been mostly a bench player in his first two years in the league, starting in only 37 of his 141 regular-season contests so far.

Miami exercised its 2026-27 team option for Jaquez on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprises here. Jaquez is coming off a letdown of a 2024-25 season, but Miami coach Erik Spoelstra has said many times that he's a believer in the wing's ability. With Tyler Herro (ankle) set to miss the beginning of the season, there is a larger path to minutes on the wings if Jaquez can take advantage of the opportunity.

Jaquez accumulated four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez fell out of favor with coach Erik Spoelstra in the postseason, playing an average of 6.3 minutes across three appearances of this series. He regressed in the regular season following a standout rookie campaign as well, appearing in 66 games with 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 three-pointers on 46.1 percent shooting from the field.

Jaquez isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez will return to his regular reserve role Wednesday after nabbing a spot start in the Heat's regular-season finale. In 66 games this season, Jaquez averaged 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 20.7 minutes.

Jaquez recorded 41 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo and other key Heat players resting ahead of the Play-In Tournament, Jaquez stepped up with a career-best scoring effort in a losing cause. However, the second-year wing hadn't scored more than 14 points or attempted more than 10 field goals in a game since Jan. 9, so Sunday's massive volume isn't likely to be repeated in the postseason, even if he retains a significant role in Miami's rotation.

Jaquez is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Wizards on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez has fluctuated in and out of Miami's rotation as of late, but he'll make his 17th start of the season in Sunday's regular-season finale. He has averaged 5.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 14.9 minutes per game since the beginning of March.
