Jaquez (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez is dealing with a stomach illness and will miss his second straight contest. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Nuggets. Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and Pelle Larsson are candidates to see increased run in the meantime.

Jaquez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez was a late addition to the injury report due to a stomach illness and will ultimately miss his first game of the season. He's averaged 25.2 minutes per game off the bench over his first five appearances. In Jaquez's absence, Kevin Love, who's cleared to make his season debut after missing time due to personal reasons, could enter the rotation, or Jaquez's missing minutes could be dished out to a few players, including Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and rookie Pelle Larsson.

Jaquez is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings with a stomach illness.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez was a very late addition to Miami's injury report which isn't a good sign. If he's unable to give it a go Monday, the Heat could turn to Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Josh Richardson to pick up the slack.

Jaquez ended Saturday's 118-98 victory over Washington with eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez was the Heat's second-leading rebounder Saturday behind Bam Adebayo (14). Jaquez has seen consistent playing time off Miami's bench, and he should continue to provide some decent, all-around fantasy value while playing a complimentary role alongside Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro.

Jaquez logged six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 victory over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging 28.2 minutes per game as a rookie, Jaquez has played 19 and 22 minutes, respectively, through the first two games this season. His all-around game is conducive to strong fantasy performances when he's afforded extended minutes, but given his current role, it'll be difficult for him to be fantasy-relevant in standard leagues.

Jaquez scored 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists and a steal in 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
The UCLA product is coming off an impressive rookie season, so Tuesday's strong per-minute production is no surprise. It's still not clear exactly how Jaquez will fit into the bench puzzle for the Heat, but he seems likely to form the core of the second unit alongside Duncan Robinson and offseason acquisition Alec Burks, who both saw similar workloads Tuesday.

Jaquez totaled six points (3-6 FG, 0-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez had a decent return to action after missing time with a groin strain. The 23-year-old did shoot 0-for-4 from the charity stripe, though he shot 81.1 percent from the free-throw line last season, so it should not be too much of a cause for concern. The second-year forward will likely serve as the primary backup to Nikola Jovic and Jimmy Butler, and he is expected to be one of the club's top reserves alongside Haywood Highsmith and Kevin Love.

Jaquez won't play in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Hornets due to a left groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the hope is that Jaquez's injury is minor and he'll be back on the court soon. Following Tuesday's game, the Heat return home to face the Hawks on Thursday. Miami has five preseason games before opening the regular season against the Magic on Oct. 23.
