Jaime Jaquez Jr. Ruled Out For Game 5 On Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) will be unavailable for Game 5 on Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics due to a hip flexor strain. In Game 4, Jaquez had some tightness in his right hip and he missed the entire fourth quarter after posting nine points and two rebounds in 22 minutes on the court. With Jaquez, Jimmy Butler (knee), and Terry Rozier (neck) out, Kevin Love, Duncan Robinson, Delon Wright, Patty Mills and Haywood Highsmith will have to step up in Game 5 as the Heat are on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs.
Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) will be available for Friday's contest against Portland. He's been upgraded from a probable status to available. Jaquez Jr. has struggled this month, with his scoring numbers dropping to 10.3 points per game, and the talented rookie has gone only 4-for-22 with the three-ball across his last eight outings. However, with Portland sitting 23rd in defensive efficiency, Friday's matchup is a good spot for Jaquez Jr. to get going again.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is listed as probable for their matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. The rookie is dealing with some discomfort in his left ankle, but it has only caused him to miss one game over the last few months. In their most recent game, Jaquez finished with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist, and two turnovers across 26 minutes of playing time. His role may not be as big in this game since Jimmy Butler (illness) will be back in the lineup, but someone has to account for the offense missing from Tyler Herro (foot). Jaquez can still serve as a solid DFS option against a weaker opponent.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. In Danger Of Missing Second Consecutive Game
Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Golden State. He might be absent for a second consecutive game after coming out of the lineup with left ankle discomfort on Sunday versus Cleveland. Jaquez Jr. has had a steady role with the Heat, and his absence opens up around 30 minutes of playing time. Haywood Highsmith picked up some of the minutes at the weekend and had a good game with 18 points and five rebounds. However, he might drop out of the rotation if Jaquez Jr. is available again and Caleb Martin (ankle) finds a way to rid himself of a questionable tag.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (leg) is sidelined for Sunday's matchup with Cleveland. He's out while dealing with right knee and ankle soreness. Miami also won't have Duncan Robinson (back), Kevin Love (heel), and Tyler Herro (foot). Fortunately, Caleb Martin (leg) will suit up, so he'll help lessen the blow caused by the plethora of injuries across the Miami roster. Nikola Jovic, averaging 7.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 26 starts this season, is also worth getting consideration from DFS managers looking for value.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. will start on Sunday afternoon against the Boston Celtics. Jimmy Butler (personal) is away from the team to tend to the death of a family member. As a result, there will be plenty of scoring opportunities up for grabs, most of which should be absorbed by Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Terry Rozier. But Jaquez has averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 boards, and 1.3 steals in 15 starts this season, meaning he'll make a fine streaming option for any fantasy lineup.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) will return for Saturday's matinee with the Knicks. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 14.0 points. He's also started 15 of his 39 games in the league before missing the last six contests with a groin injury. However, with Terry Rozier now on the roster, the starting lineup may be different than before Jaquez went down with the ailment. But Jaquez could still get enough minutes to remain relevant for fantasy managers, even if he doesn't stay with the first five.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) remains listed as out for Thursday's clash with the Boston Celtics. A strained left groin will keep the outstanding rookie sidelined for at least one more contest, and Jaquez will target a return from a six-game absence in Saturday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Caleb Martin has witnessed a decent boost in fantasy value with Jaquez out of Miami's lineup, averaging 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers over his last four appearances for the Heat.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Jaquez will record his fifth consecutive absence on Wednesday due to a strained left groin. The impressive 22-year-old rookie's next opportunity to return comes during Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics for the second part of Miami's back-to-back. The Heat have lost three out of their past four matchups without Jaquez. With Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson trending down, Caleb Martin has tallied double figures in scoring in three straight outings and is worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is listed as doubtful on the NBA Injury Report, and he isn't expected to make his return on Friday against the Hawks. The 22-year-old rookie has missed each of the last two games with this injury and will likely miss a third. When he was healthy, the rookie became a staple in the team's rotation and was routinely seeing 30 or more minutes a night. If Jaquez cannot go, his next chance to return to action will be on Sunday in Orlando for an in-state battle with the Magic.
