• Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Plays 22 minutes in win

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Productive off bench Tuesday

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Six points in return Sunday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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. Jaquez is expected to be one of the club's top reserves alongside Haywood Highsmith and Kevin Love.
