Impact Jaquez started at small forward in place of Jimmy Butler (calf), and while he couldn't match the contributions or the impact of the veteran forward, there's no doubt he made his presence felt on both ends of the court with an excellent outing. The rookie out of UCLA has been one of the best first-year players in the league excluding Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama, and he has already carved a steady role in Miami's rotation. He's averaging 15.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game over his last 10 contests.

Impact Jaquez continuing to have and produce in a large role, even with Caleb Martin fully reintroduced to 30-plus nightly minutes as well, is extremely encouraging for his rest-of season-value. Jaquez has been a seamless fit to Miami's offense, improving the Heat's scoring performance by 4.8 points per 100 possessions through his first 26 games.

Leads team in scoring Thursday Jaquez ended Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Bulls with 22 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes.
Impact Jaquez couldn't extend his two-game streak with multiple triples, but he still led Miami in scoring, partly on the strength of a 9-for-10 performance from the charity stripe. The rookie forward reached the 20-point mark for the first time in six games, though he did fine with 15.0 points per contest in the interim. Jaquez failed to notch double-digit scoring in any of his first seven NBA contests, but he's done so in 17 of 18 outings since.
