Jaquez (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez may miss a second straight game due to left knee soreness. Kevin Love (heel) is also questionable, so if both forwards are available, Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic would likely see decreased playing time.

Jaquez is out Sunday versus Cleveland due to left knee and ankle discomfort, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jimmy Butler returning from a two-game absence to play in both of the Heat's last two contests, Jaquez has recently moved back to the bench, logging 31- and 14-minute workloads in a win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday and a loss to the Pelicans on Friday. The injury might have had something to do with Jaquez's lighter minutes count versus the Pelicans, and he'll now be forced to the sideline for the first time since Jan. 25. Consider Jaquez day-to-day ahead of the Heat's next game Tuesday versus the Warriors.

Jaquez has been given a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to both knee and ankle issues, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is Jaquez's first time popping up on Miami's injury report with these specific injuries. His status will presumably depend on how he is feeling after testing things out during pregame warmups. The rookie has averaged 9.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 triples across 27.9 minutes in March. Should he ultimately not get the green light, Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic could see increased minutes.

Jaquez will head to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez is being replaced by Jimmy Butler in the starting unit for Wednesday's game, so his value will take a bit of a hit with the demotion to the second unit. The Heat will start Butler, Patty Mills, Terry Rozier, Bam Adebayo and Thomas Bryant on Wednesday evening.

Jaquez amassed 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
With Jimmy Butler (foot) sidelined, Jaquez got his first start since Feb. 26 and turned in a solid performance. The rookie forward hasn't been consistent of late -- he scored 16 total points over the prior three games combined -- but he's maintained a significant role in the Miami rotation. Over 12 games since the All-Star break, Jaquez is averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 threes in 29.2 minutes a contest while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor.

Jaquez will start Sunday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
With Jimmy Butler (foot) and Nikola Jovic (hamstring) sidelined, Jaquez and Haywood Highsmith will join the starting lineup. As a starter this season (17 games), Jaquez has averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 32.9 minutes per game.

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.
