Jaquez closed with 19 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 108-89 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Starting at small forward for the injured Jimmy Butler (knee), Jaquez tallied his first double-double of the season while leading the Heat in rebounds (10) and co-leading the team in points (19) with Tyler Herro. Jaquez typically registers a noticeable improvement in fantasy appeal as a member of Miami's first unit dating back to the 23-year-old former first-rounder's rookie season a year ago, averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes across 21 games as a starter since 2023-24. If Butler is unable to return for Wednesday's tilt against the Lakers, Jaquez would be a quality streaming option with a short-term boost in value for fantasy managers.

Jaquez will enter the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Nikola Jovic (ankle) sidelined, Jaquez will pick up his first start of the season. Across his last five games, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 8.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 18.0 minutes per game.

Jacquez (ankle) isn't listed on Miami's injury report for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Jacquez had dealt with a sprained ankle throughout the week, but he returned to practice Friday and has been cleared to face the Mavs. Jimmy Butler (illness) is questionable for Sunday's tilt, and Jacquez could see an expanded role if Butler sits.

Jaquez (ankle) participated in Friday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez's return to practice is a good sign for his availability against Dallas on Sunday after he missed Miami's last contest with a sprained right ankle. Still, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify Jaquez's status for the game.

Jaquez (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez missed Miami's previous outing due to a sprained right ankle, but imaging revealed that he has avoided a serious injury. While the second-year forward's absence from practice is a bad sign for his availability against Dallas on Sunday, he still has a few more days to recover in time.

Jaquez (ankle) will not play Monday against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez suffered a right ankle sprain Sunday against the Pacers and was unable to return, and he said after that contest that he expects to miss some time. With Terry Rozier (foot) also out Monday, Jimmy Butler (ankle) will likely see heavy usage in his return from a four-game absence. Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson could be more involved as well.

Jaquez told reporters after Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Heat that he expects to miss time due to a right ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The good news for Jaquez is X-rays didn't reveal any further damage to his right ankle. He'll likely be sidelined for Monday's contest against the 76ers, but the Heat's following game doesn't take place until Sunday, Nov. 24 against the Mavericks, so the second-year forward may just miss one game as a result. Jaquez's absence opens the door for more playing time off the bench for Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Josh Richardson, and Alec Burks may also join the rotation after being a healthy DNP for the Heat's last five games (including Sunday's loss).

Jaquez has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez rolled his right ankle late in the third quarter after stepping on T.J. McConnell, and he will not return for the fourth quarter. Given the Heat play Monday against the 76ers, it seems unlikely Jaquez will be able to play in the second leg of the back-to-back. Josh Richardson, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic are candidates to see more minutes off the bench with Jaquez sidelined.

Jaquez is listed as available for Sunday's game versus the Pacers despite dealing with right hip flexor tightness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez appears to have tweaked his hip flexor against Indiana on Friday but won't miss Sunday's contest. Over his last five appearances, the second-year forward is averaging 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.6 minutes.

Jaquez logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old led the bench in scoring alongside Duncan Robinson, and Jaquez was efficient while stuffing the stat sheet. The forward could see an uptick in minutes if Nikola Jovic (nose) misses additional time, though he will have to compete for the starting spot with Robinson. Through seven regular-season outings, Jaquez has averaged 9.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from beyond the arc.
