Efficient in defeat Jaquez logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Impact The 23-year-old led the bench in scoring alongside Duncan Robinson, and Jaquez was efficient while stuffing the stat sheet. The forward could see an uptick in minutes if Nikola Jovic (nose) misses additional time, though he will have to compete for the starting spot with Robinson. Through seven regular-season outings, Jaquez has averaged 9.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Shooting woes in loss Robinson supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and three assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Impact The sharpshooter led the bench in scoring alongside Jaime Jaquez, though Robinson did struggle with efficiency in the loss. The 30-year-old scored in double figures for only the second time this year, and while he is shooting an efficient 37.5 percent from deep, he has struggled from inside the arc while shooting only 38.0 percent from the field. Through nine regular-season appearances, Robinson has averaged 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 18.6 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs double-double in defeat Adebayo ended Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to Detroit with 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 44 minutes.
Impact Adebayo produced a bounce-back game after scoring only nine points and shooting 3-for-11 from the field in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The big man secured his fifth double-double of the season and scored the second-highest mark on the club behind Tyler Herro (40) Tuesday. Through 10 regular-season outings, Adebayo has averaged 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks across 34.8 minutes per game. The 27-year-old has struggled with consistency thus far and is shooting only 40.7 percent from the field.
