Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Logs 18 points in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Bouyea contributed 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to the Rockets.
Bouyea scored a season-high 18 points, playing a ton of minutes down the stretch as the Suns were blown out by the Rockets. With Phoenix quite banged up at the moment, Bouyea has been able to insert himself into the rotation, playing at least 14 minutes in five straight games. For those in deeper formats, he is worth considering, at least until the Suns get some healthy bodies back on the floor.

Rotowire
Bouyea ended with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 125-108 win over the Lakers.
Bouyea was part of a constricting Suns defense that held the Lakers, who were on a seven-game winning streak, to just 108 points. Phoenix forced 21 turnovers and logged 16 steals. While Bouyea is on a two-way contract, it is possible he continues to see extended run if Devin Booker (groin) misses any time.

Jamaree Bouyea: Waived Monday
Rotowire
Bouyea was waived by the Bucks on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The Bucks needed to cut someone to make room for the third Antetokounmpo, Alex, and Bouyea was the odd man out. Bouyea will likely head to Milwaukee's G League. He made four appearances for the Herd last season, scoring at least 15 points in each game, including a 22-point outing against the Grand Rapids Gold.

Heat's Jamaree Bouyea: Inks two-way deal with Heat
Rotowire
The Heat signed Bouyea to a two-way contract Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Heat's Jamaree Bouyea: Impresses in expanded bench role
Rotowire
Bouyea produced 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block across 28 minutes in Monday's 112-108 loss to the Nuggets.
The Heat have a long history of plucking undrafted players out of obscurity and turning them into productive rotation players, and Bouyea could be the latest example. The 23-year-old rookie out of San Francisco was signed to a 10-day deal last week and has immediately stepped into the rotation as the backup to starting point guard Gabe Vincent while Kyle Lowry (knee) has been sidelined. Bouyea can't be relied upon to get 20-plus minutes on a regular basis even if Lowry is sidelined after the All-Star break, but he should get some extra run once again Wednesday in Brooklyn while Tyler Herro (knee) and Victor Oladipo (ankle) continue to sit.

Heat's Jamaree Bouyea: Joining Miami on 10-day deal
Rotowire
Bouyea agreed to a 10-day contract with the Heat on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Miami could be adding Bouyea as some insurance out of the backcourt while Kyle Lowry tends to a knee issue that will keep him out for at least three games. Bouyea had been putting up some impressive numbers in the G League, but there's no guarantee he sees the floor in Miami, even though he'll dress for the shorthanded Heat in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Jamaree Bouyea: Absent Saturday

Bouyea (back) did not play in Saturday's 124-110 win over the Vipers.
Bouyea missed his first contest of the season due to a back issue. Considering Saturday's contest was the tail end of a back-to-back set for the Skyforce, he could have been held out as a precaution. However, his status will be worth monitoring considering his integral offensive role. His next chance to play will come Monday against Iowa.

Jamaree Bouyea: Season-worst outing
Rotowire
Bouyea managed seven points (3-15 FG, 1-4 3PT) eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes of Wednesday's 108-105 win over the Gold.
Bouyea struggled mightily Wednesday, posting season-low outputs in points and field goal percentage. He also failed to make his typical impact as a facilitator, posting three assists compared to his season average of 5.9. Bouyea has been one of the Skyforce's best players this season and can be expected to bounce back to his season averages.
