Jaquez ended Sunday's 115-107 win over the Knicks with 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Jaquez, who was coming off a letdown of a campaign in 2024-25, certainly seems to have found his stride to open the new season. Through the first three games, he's second on the Heat in nine-category fantasy value with averages of 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals. He's shooting a red-hot 71.0 percent from the field, however, and that's obviously not sustainable.

Jaquez amassed 13 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two steals and an assist over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 125-121 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Jaquez led all bench players in minutes and rebounds, and tied with Simone Fontecchio to pace the rest of the second unit in scoring. He also played seven more minutes than starter Nikola Jovic, indicating that despite not starting, Jaquez still has a vital role within the team moving forward.

Jacquez amassed 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Jacquez shifted back to the bench following a spot start in Sunday's game against the Magic. Despite the move, Jacquez delivered his best game of the preseason, an encouraging sign for a player who failed to live up to expectations during his sophomore season. With Tyler Herro (ankle) out to begin the season, Jacquez could very well find himself in a slightly increased role. He is not worth drafting in most standard leagues, but is worth keeping an eye on, just in case he rediscovers some of the form from his rookie campaign.

Jaquez won't start Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Miami resting its regulars, Jaquez started Sunday against the Magic and posted nine points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and two assists in 15 minutes. After a strong rookie campaign, Jaquez took a step back last season. He's looking to rebound in Year 3 and take advantage of Tyler Herro's (ankle) absence to start the regular season.

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.
