Jaquez recorded 25 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 107-100 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez has found ways to produce both as a starter and off the bench, and he's been thriving in that latter role in recent weeks. He's scored in double digits in each of his last four outings with the second unit, and this 25-point performance was his best scoring performance when coming off the bench this season. Jaquez is averaging 11.7 points per game on the campaign when deployed with the second unit.

Jaquez amassed 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first time in nearly two months that Jaquez has drained multiple three-pointers, as his last such performance came Jan. 10 against the Thunder. The rookie forward has been able to contribute despite his recent shooting woes from long distance, and over the last 12 games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 4.7 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 threes in 28.8 minutes a contest.

Jaquez will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Portland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprises here, as Jimmy Butler is returning from his one-game suspension. Jaquez made the most of his fill-in start Monday versus the Kings, producing 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 38 minutes.

Jaquez supplied 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez helped the Heat win a fourth straight game on a night when most of the starters were out. Jaquez aptly filled in for Jimmy Butler (suspension) with his second-best scoring total of the season. Although Jaquez was routinely posting strong numbers before a seven-game absence in January, his demotion to the second unit has hurt his bottom line, Unless Miami's injury concerns become a more consistent problem, nights like these will likely be a rarity for the rookie.

Jaquez is starting Monday's game against Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez is averaging 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists on 52.8 percent shooting across his last five games as a starter. He is joined by Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Bam Adebayo in a makeshift starting lineup Monday while Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jovic are suspended and Tyler Herro (knee) and Terry Rozier (knee) are sidelined due to injuries.

Jaquez isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Nikola Jovic will replace Jaquez in the starting lineup Tuesday. With Jimmy Butler (personal), Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) out, the rookie forward will likely be relied upon to lead Miami's second unit.

Jaquez will start at forward for the Heat in Sunday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
He'll re-enter the starting five for the first time since making his return to action in late January following a six-game absence due to a strained left groin. While coming off the bench in Miami's last seven games, Jaquez has seen his playing time and fantasy value take a big hit, with the rookie averaging 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes per game over that stretch. He'll likely see a temporary spike as he moves back to the top unit in place of Jimmy Butler (personal), who is out Sunday while he takes a leave of absence from the Heat following the death of a family member. Butler is uncertain to be available for either of the Heat's final two games before the All-Star break (Tuesday in Milwaukee, Wednesday in Philadelphia), so Jaquez could have some appeal as a streamer beyond Sunday's contest.

Jaquez totaled 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Miami is mostly healthy these days, and with Terry Rozier in town, Jaquez has seen his minutes trend in the wrong direction. Over his past seven games, the rookie played 23.3 minutes per contest to go with averages of 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 turnovers.

Jaquez (groin) tallied six points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, two steals, two blocks and one rebound across 24 minutes in Saturday's 125-109 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After starting 12 of his prior 13 appearances before missing six straight games with a left groin strain, Jaquez came off the bench in his return to action Saturday. Though he made a mark on the defensive end with the pair of steals and blocks, Jaquez's usage sat at just 9.4 percent on the day, well below his season-long rate of 18.2 percent. Before missing time with the groin strain, Jaquez had benefited from an expanded role on the offensive end while both Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro missed time, but Butler and Herro are now back to full health. Additionally, the Heat recently acquired another high-usage player in Terry Rozier, and with Bam Adebayo also still on hand, Jaquez looks as though he'll fall further down in the offensive hierarchy than he had before suffering the injury. With that in mind, Jaquez may be hard-pressed to maintain his season-long average of 13.8 points per game, which had already been propped up by 51.2 percent shooting from the field.
