Jaquez accumulated four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Jaquez fell out of favor with coach Erik Spoelstra in the postseason, playing an average of 6.3 minutes across three appearances of this series. He regressed in the regular season following a standout rookie campaign as well, appearing in 66 games with 8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 three-pointers on 46.1 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Erupts for career-high 41
Rotowire
Jaquez recorded 41 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 loss to Washington.
With Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo and other key Heat players resting ahead of the Play-In Tournament, Jaquez stepped up with a career-best scoring effort in a losing cause. However, the second-year wing hadn't scored more than 14 points or attempted more than 10 field goals in a game since Jan. 9, so Sunday's massive volume isn't likely to be repeated in the postseason, even if he retains a significant role in Miami's rotation.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Nears double-double in win
Rotowire
Jaquez amassed 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 120-94 victory over the Wizards.
Jaquez bounced back from playing limited minutes over his last three games with a strong performance against Washington. The second-year big man has now scored 14 points or more nine times for Miami, but only four times off the bench like he did Monday. Jaquez could see increased playing time going forward if Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) and Duncan Robinson (back) remain sidelined.
Jaquez won't start in Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Duncan Robinson will supplant Jaquez in the starting five on Sunday. The 24-year-old forward has started in each of the club's last three outings, averaging 5.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 24.3 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Jaquez notched four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes during Friday's 102-98 loss to the Rockets.
Jaquez's sophomore slump continued Friday, as he scored single-digit points for the seventh time in the past eight games. After a somewhat promising rookie campaign, Jaquez has struggled to carve out a consistent role, despite the fact that those around him have not played particularly well. Through 58 games played, he is averaging just 8.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Jaquez posted six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes in Monday's 116-95 loss to New York.
Jaquez got the starting nod Monday with Andrew Wiggins (leg contusion) inactive, doing a little bit of everything while leading all Miami players in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high-tying pair of blocks. Jaquez recorded his fourth double-digit rebound total, and he has handed out seven or more assists on three occasions.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Gets light run in return
Rotowire
Jaquez (ankle) tallied four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes in Friday's 106-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Jaquez returned from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Still, he was unable to capture a major role even while Miami was without three other rotation players in Andrew Wiggins (ankle), Alec Burks (back) and Kel'el Ware (knee). If at least one or two of those players are back in action for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Jaquez could be at risk of dropping out of the rotation.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Jaquez (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Jaquez will miss a third straight game for the Heat while nursing a sprained right ankle. The second-year big man has regressed in his sophomore season in Miami, with his playing time and scoring going down, even though his rebounds per game have gone up at 4.6 per contest. Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith may get a boost in minutes with Jaquez on the mend.
