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.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat struggled badly on offense and didn't even reach the 100-point mark, 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 for starting duty, and he should remain in that role if Jimmy Butler (foot) remains unavailable against the Rockets on Monday.

Jaquez (illness) will play Saturday against Utah, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez was initially added to the injury report due to an illness, but it won't force him to miss Saturday's action. The rookie is averaging 17.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five contests, though it's unclear if he'll make a fifth straight start with Jimmy Butler (calf) still listed as questionable.

Jaquez is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to an illness.

Jaquez closed with 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 114-102 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez has settled himself as a starter with Jimmy Butler (calf) sidelined, and the rookie out of UCLA has done an excellent job on both ends of the court. Even though he's not expected to hover around the 30-point mark like he did against the 76ers on Christmas Day, it's worth noting Jaquez has performed well when given the chance, scoring in double digits in six of his eight starts. He's averaging 16.7 points per game in December.

EDGE Analysis
Jaquez got the start with injuries to a few other Heat starters, leading all players in the Christmas Day contest in scoring while reaching double figures in rebounds in a double-double performance. Jaquez posted his first double-double of the season while also tallying season-high marks in scoring and rebounds.

Jaquez racked up 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez started at small forward in place of Jimmy Butler (calf), and while he couldn't match the contributions or the impact of the veteran forward, he made his presence felt on both ends of the court with an excellent outing. The rookie out of UCLA has been one of the best first-year players in the league, and he has already carved out a steady role in Miami's rotation. He's averaging 15.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
