Kel'el Ware C | MIA
Heat's Kel'el Ware: Huge performance off bench Saturday
Ware supplied 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists and seven blocks in 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards.
The double-double was the 24th of the season for the second-year center, and the points and boards were his best performances in those categories since a 28-19 effort against the Knicks on Dec. 21. The seven rejections also tied his career high, a mark he first set March 5 against the Nets. Ware has been locked in from long range over the last couple weeks, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.4 blocks in 20.0 minutes a contest while shooting 48.1 percent (13-for-27) from beyond the arc.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Erupts for game-high 32 in win
Jaquez totaled 32 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 victory over the Wizards.
The third-year wing set a new season high in points and led all scorers on the afternoon, taking advantage of the defensive attention Washington paid to Bam Adebayo after the center poured in 83 points the last time the two teams met. Jaquez has scored in double digits in six straight games as the engine of the Heat's second unit, averaging 19.0 points, 5.2 boards, 3.5 assists, and 1.8 threes in 26.7 minutes over that stretch.

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Ruled out for Sunday

Jahmai Mashack SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Jahmai Mashack: Out with concussion
Mashack is listed out for Sunday's game against the Bucks after being placed in concussion protocol.
Mashack was diagnosed with the concussion after exiting Friday's 128-96 loss to the Raptors due to what the Grizzlies initially labeled as neck soreness. Sunday's contest marks the first of a back-to-back set, so the rookie second-round pick could have a tough time clearing the protocol ahead of Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
