Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Drills six treys off bench
Jakucionis contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 115-111 loss to Utah.
Jakucionis caught fire from beyond the arc yet again after going 6-for-6 from downtown Sunday against the Wizards. He's been an unlikely contributor from deep after averaging 0.9 made threes per game over his previous 26 matchups heading into Sunday's clash, but the Heat will undoubtedly take his strong contributions off the bench while without the services of Tyler Herro (ribs), Norman Powell (back) and Pelle Larsson (elbow).

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Erupts off bench in win
Jakucionis accumulated 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-6 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.
Jakucionis delivered a breakout performance Sunday, tying Bam Adebayo for the game high with 22 points in a dominant Heat win. The rookie guard was perfect from beyond the arc while setting a new career high in scoring and adding three stocks. Jakucionis hasn't been a fixture in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation this season, but outings like this could open the door to more opportunities for the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Left out of rotation Friday
Jakucionis (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Heat's 98-96 loss to the Celtics.
After playing in each of Miami's last 12 games while averaging 4.8 points, 3.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 19.3 minutes per contest, Jakucionis found himself outside of the rotation as the Heat welcomed Norman Powell (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) back from three- and one-game absences, respectively. Though Jakucionis is a superior playmaker to Dru Smith, the Heat appear to place more value in what Smith brings to the table defensively as the backup point guard in the second unit. With Davion Mitchell back to full health and Tyler Herro (ribs) perhaps returning at some point later this month, Jakucionis may not have a path to regular playing time now that Miami is inching closer to full strength.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Won't start Sunday
Jakucionis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Jakucionis had started the Heat's previous six games but will slide back to the bench with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) returning to the lineup. The rookie has come off the bench in 16 of his 24 appearances this season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.6 minutes per contest as a reserve.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Good to go Sunday
Jakucionis (face) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Jakucionis will shake off his questionable tag due to a facial contusion and suit up in the second half of this back-to-back set. The rookie first-rounder has started each of his last two appearances and may remain in the starting five with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) set to miss a third straight game. Over his last five games (three starts), Jakucionis has averaged 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 17.2 minutes per contest.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Questionable to play Sunday
Jakucionis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to a facial contusion.
Jakucionis may have sustained the injury during Saturday's 147-116 win over the Jazz, when he logged 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes. Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, and if he and Jakucionis were both to be sidelined, then Dru Smith would be in line to enter the Heat's starting lineup.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Starting Thursday
Jakucionis will start Thursday versus the Trail Blazers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
This will be the third start of the season for Jakucionis, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo. As a starter this season, Jakucionis has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.0 triples per contest.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Shifts to bench
Jakucionis isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Jakucionis entered the starting lineup Saturday against Oklahoma City with Tyler Herro (rib) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) out of commission. However, Jakucionis will return to his usual bench role Monday after Davion Mitchell was cleared to play. Jakucionis is averaging 3.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his last seven games as a reserve.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Dishes seven dimes in spot start
Jakucionis provided three points (1-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 27 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 122-120 victory over Oklahoma City.
The rookie first-rounder made his second NBA start Saturday due to the absence of Tyler Herro (toe/rib). Jakucionis didn't have a great scoring game, but he led the Heat in assists and has logged at least seven dimes in two consecutive games. His minutes have been inconsistent this season, but he has seen a bump in playing time as of late due to the absences of Herro, Davion Mitchell (shoulder) and Jaime Jaquez (knee).

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Starting sans Herro
Jakucionis will start against the Thunder on Saturday.
The rookie first-rounder will get the starting nod for the second time this season due to Tyler Herro (toe/rib) being sidelined. Jakucionis previously started a loss to Boston on Dec. 19, when he posted 17 points, six rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Handles increased role off bench
Jakucionis had 12 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 119-114 loss to the Celtics.
With Davion Mitchell (shoulder) and Jaime Jaquez (knee) sidelined, Jakucionis played his most minutes since Dec. 19 in Boston, when he notched 17 points (5-13 FG), six rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during his first career NBA start. Jakucionis has played more than 20 minutes only four times this season, so this performance appears to be an outlier.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Stuck in limited role
Jakucionis contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 16 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 victory over the Pelicans.
Even with Tyler Herro (toe) out, Jakucionis finds himself buried on the Miami depth chart at point guard behind Davion Mitchell and Dru Smith. Jakucionis has averaged 3.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 15.0 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Back to bench
Jakucionis is moving to the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Jakucionis made a strong impression in his first career start Friday against the Celtics, finishing with 17 points (5-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes. However, Davion Mitchell (ankle) is returning to the lineup, so it will be interesting to see just how involved the rookie is Sunday.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Scores 17 points in first NBA start
Jakucionis tallied 17 points (5-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during the Heat's 129-116 win over the Celtics on Friday.
Jakucionis made his first NBA start Friday due to the absences of Davion Mitchell (ankle) and Tyler Herro (toe). Jakucionis took advantage of the opportunity, showing activity on the glass (five of his six rebounds came on the offensive side of the floor) while doing most of his scoring damage from beyond the arc. He was also the only Miami starter to finish with a positive point differential (plus-3). Jakucionis could remain in the starting lineup against the Knicks on Sunday if Mitchell and Herro are unable to play.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Making first career start Friday
Jakucionis is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Celtics on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The rookie first-rounder has appeared in just two regular-season games for the Heat while spending most of the season either shelved due to a groin injury or in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. However, Jakucionis will make his first career NBA start Friday due to the absences of Davion Mitchell (ankle) and Tyler Herro (toe) while Dru Smith comes off the bench. In the G League, Jakucionis has averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 2.5 steals over 26.8 minutes per game.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Available to play Monday
Jakucionis (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Jakucionis will be available for this matchup, but that doesn't mean he'll play. The rookie has made just one appearance this season, so he should carry minimal fantasy upside across all formats.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Probable for Monday
Jakucionis is probable to play Monday versus the Raptors due to left ankle soreness.
Jakucionis should be available for Monday's game, but that doesn't mean he'll play. He's made only one brief appearance for the Heat this season, which lasted one minute, and he missed both of his shot attempts.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Back to G League
Jakucionis was assigned to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jakucionis was recalled to the NBA club Monday and saw one minute of action against the Clippers, logging one steal and hoisting up a pair of shots during his brief stint. He'll return to the G League, where he'll presumably see more opportunities to stay sharp.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Returns to G League
Jakucionis was returned to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jakucionis was brought up to the NBA club for Monday's matchup with the Mavs, but he failed to see the court. He'll go back down to the G League to ensure he continues to get reps.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Back to NBA
Jakucionis will be available Monday against the Mavericks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Jakucionis was assigned to the G League on Monday morning, but he's since returned to the NBA club. The Heat are expected to be very thin against Dallas despite the expected return of Tyler Herro (foot), so Jakucionis has a chance to see his first minutes at the NBA level.
