While he wasn’t the choice to fill the void left in the starting lineup by Andrew Wiggins, that didn’t prevent Jaquez from having another solid night at the office. And it was much needed, as the Heat wing totaled 13 points on 3-of-19 shooting against the Wizards and Jazz. Jaquez’s 23 points were the most in a game for him since a December 27 win over the Pacers in which he dropped 28. Add in the other categories, and this was an excellent night to have Jaquez rostered. Myron Gardner made the spot start in Wiggins’ absence, finishing with eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 23 minutes.

Jaquez Jr. continues to be the one to pick up any slack when the Heat are missing starters. With Tyler Herro (toe), Norman Powell (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) all out, the decks were cleared for Jaquez and he had 21 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes. He’s now had at least 19 points in four of his last six games. Jaquez’ 42 percent roster percentage in Yahoo! leagues should likely increase given his recent play.

Jaquez has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, as he continues to provide solid all-around stat lines. Thursday’s double-double was his fifth of the season and first since December 29, with the third-year wing also providing solid assist and steal numbers. Despite coming off the bench, Jaquez is worth a look in some 12-team leagues, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) out.

After totaling 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting in the prior two games, Jaquez ended Miami’s five-game road trip on a positive note. After scoring 20 points or more in two games last season, he’s up to 12 just past the halfway point of the 2025-26 campaign. And with Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Jaquez is one of the Heat players who boasts a higher fantasy ceiling due to the increased opportunities to contribute offensively.

Jaquez will be back after missing Miami’s last two games. He’ll take on a larger role with Tyler Herro (rib) sidelined, which should help his production for fantasy managers. His return should take away some minutes from Simone Fontecchio.

Jaquez has missed Miami’s last two games, but the probable tag suggests that he’s on track to return Monday night. With Tyler Herro (rib) out, Jaquez will have a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Simone Fontecchio.

Jaquez will remain out for a second straight game, which will leave open minutes off the bench. Kasparas Jakucionis played 27 minutes on Thursday, leading all Heat reserves. Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio also should take on extra minutes with Jaquez still out.

This is a new injury for Jaquez, who has played in the last three games for the Heat. As of now, Jaquez is simply listed as having soreness, so he may not be facing an extended absence. He could return on Saturday against the Thunder. Nikola Jovic should see more minutes with Jaquez out.

After missing two games earlier in January with a sprained right ankle, Jaquez is dealing with a sore left knee. With Davion Mitchell (shoulder) listed as doubtful, the Heat may have to rely even more on Dru Smith if Jaquez can’t go.

Jaquez Jr. played 31 minutes off the bench Tuesday with Davion Mitchell going down with a shoulder injury. While the extent of Mitchell’s injury is unknown for now, Jaquez Jr. is still available in most leagues and would be worth streaming if Mitchell were to miss more time. Pelle Larsson could also see extra minutes off the bench if Mitchell remains out Thursday against the Celtics.

As much as a player can in a game his team lost by a 123-99 final score, Jaquez had a good night. He finished a blocked shot and a three-pointer shy of a complete stat line while shooting 50 percent from the field. That said, Jaquez is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Heat now close to full strength, his production off the bench is something to watch, as Jaquez has been good enough to offer standard-league value thus far. Hopefully, that doesn’t change.

Jaquez is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. He returned to the lineup on Thursday after missing two games with an ankle injury. If he’s back out for this game, Nikola Jović and Pelle Larsson should see a bump in minutes.

Jaquez Jr. has missed the last two games with an injury but seems on track to return tonight. With Tyler Herro (toe) now also back, it’s likely that Nikola Jović, who has been playing well, will see his minutes and usage reduced.

The roller coaster ride is at an end. Jaquez Jr. was listed as out on Monday afternoon before getting upgraded to questionable on Monday evening. He’s now listed as out, and fantasy managers should expect more run for Nikola Jović and Pelle Larsson.

Jaquez was initially ruled out for this game, which would’ve been a second consecutive absence for him. However, he has now been upgraded, which is a good indicator that he may be able to give it a go. He’ll return to playing his typical significant reserve role if he is able to suit up.

Jaquez Jr. sprained his ankle on Saturday, and the injury will force him to miss a second straight game after he sat out Sunday. Nikola Jović and Pelle Larsson are candidates for increased run in Jaquez Jr.'s absence.

Unsurprisingly, Jaquez is out after spraining his right ankle during Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves. With Nikola Jović and Pelle Larsson being available, they can absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Jaquez.

Jaquez exited Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves after rolling his right ankle during the second quarter. With Miami’s top reserve unlikely to play, there may be more minutes available to Kasparas Jakučionis, and Pelle Larsson is probable after missing Saturday’s game with a sprained ankle.

Jaquez sprained his right ankle while defending Julius Randle during the second quarter of Saturday’s game. While it was initially announced that he would be available to return, the Heat changed course and ruled Jaquez out for the rest of the night. The minutes that would usually go to him should be divided among Nikola Jović and Kasparas Jakučionis.

Jaquez was initially listed as probable for this game, so his availability doesn’t come as a surprise. He’ll continue to occupy his typical role off the bench, which has resulted in a ton of offensive production recently.

Jaquez is managing a right thigh contusion, but it isn’t expected to impact his availability. He has been on an offensive tear recently and should continue to pour in the points while playing big minutes in this game.

Once again, Jaquez gave the Heat some much-needed production off the bench as they held off the Pistons in Detroit. He’s scored at least 19 points in three straight and five of his last six, providing 10th-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Coming off the bench limits Jaquez’s value to managers in 10-team formats, but those competing in 12-team leagues should strongly consider adding him if he’s on the waiver wire.

Jaquez finished Monday’s victory with his fourth double-double of the season, but this was his first with points and assists. The 11 helpers were a career-high for the Heat wing, who has been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats this season. While Jaquez doesn’t have to be rostered in all leagues, he’s definitely worthy of consideration in some 12-team formats, especially after Miami lost Pelle Larsson to a sprained ankle.

Jaquez supplied a spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 11-of-15 from the floor to help lift Miami past the floundering Pacers. The 24-year-old is averaging 22.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks over his last four games across the past week.

Jaquez has now scored at least 20 points in eight games this season, four times his total from the 2024-25 campaign. While the absence of Tyler Herro has opened things up for multiple Heat players, including Jaquez, he deserves credit for the strides he has made after an underwhelming sophomore season. Providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats, Jaquez is rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues. The Heat play three games in Week 10, starting with the Raptors on Tuesday.

Jaquez got the starting nod for the first time this season. He has been excellent as a reserve this year, but he wasn’t able to capitalize on the move into the starting unit. It was a decent outing, but he fell short of his season average of 15.4 points per game despite playing a season-high 36 minutes. Jaquez will head back to the bench on Sunday against the Knicks if Davion Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins return, though that won’t limit his production.

Jaquez had 19 points in 29 minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old saw more minutes and usage with Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined. The 24-year-old shooting guard has the skillset to provide points and threes. He could be in line for another expanded role game against the Celtics on Friday.

Jaquez has scored at least 20 points in seven games this season after enjoying two such games during the entire 2024-25 campaign. The 27 points scored against the Kings were the most for him since November 2, when he dropped a season-high 31 on the Lakers. With the Heat getting closer to full strength recently (Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell did not play on Saturday), Jaquez’s fantasy value has taken a hit. However, that has been due to lackluster defensive production, despite the offensive numbers being there.
