The Heat also remain without Andrew Wiggins (ankle), allowing Duncan Robinson to have a greater role. He has averaged 18.0 points and 5.3 assists with 48 percent three-point shooting over the last three games. The injury situation also boosts the fantasy value of Haywood Highsmith, who has returned to the rotation in the past few games.

He missed Monday's matchup against the Boston Celtics due to a stomach bug but has recovered in time for Wednesday's action.

A stomach bug kept Jaquez Jr. out from Monday's battle against the Orlando Magic, but he has been cleared to return on Wednesday, with Miami upgrading him from probable to available.

He has averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals for January. The 23-year-old also posted his first career triple-double this month.

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Jaquez has been dealing with a stomach bug that will keep him out of the lineup. The 23-year-old has suited up for 40 contests this season, averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 23.8 minutes. Nikola Jovic will likely take on extra minutes with Jaquez sidelined and Jimmy Butler suspended indefinitely.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. The 23-year-old recently missed time because of an illness. While he's feeling better, the team won't put him back on the floor until he's ready.

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (conditioning) has received a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's currently going through some return to play conditioning and it's unclear if he's fully ready to return to the court. The second-year wing has missed the last two games but has a chance to return. If his conditioning isn't where it needs to be, Nikola Jovic and Josh Richardson will see some added minutes in his absence.
Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) won't suit up for Tuesday's preseason showdown with the Charlotte Hornets. The 23-year-old is battling a groin strain. While he should be ready to go to begin the regular season, there's a chance he'll be limited throughout the preseason. Jaquez had a stellar rookie campaign, averaging 11.9 points and 1.0 steals. Although he likely won't be in the starting lineup regularly in 2024-25, he should get his chances with the first five, considering Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro's injury woes over the years. Regardless of his role, Jaquez will get enough minutes to be relevant in any fantasy setup, and his commitment to improving his shot could positively impact his category production.
