GAME LOG

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Solid showing in spot start Jaquez amassed 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over Detroit.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (foot) sidelined, Jaquez got his first start since Feb. 26 and turned in a solid performance. The rookie forward hasn't been consistent of late -- he scored a total of 16 points over the prior three games combined -- but he's maintained a significant role in the Miami rotation. Over 12 games since the All-Star break, Jaquez is averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 threes in 29.2 minutes a contest while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor.

Terry Rozier - Just misses double-double Sunday Rozier registered 17 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over Detroit.
Impact The veteran guard came up just short of his second double-double of the season. Rozier missed four games sandwiched around the All-Star break due to a knee injury, but that's the only thing that's slowed him down since the beginning of February -- he's scored in double digits in 15 straight games, averaging 16.7 points, 5.6 assists, 4.9 boards, 1.3 threes and 0.9 steals.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Plays hero Sunday Adebayo logged 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 win over Detroit.
Impact The double-double was his 34th of the season, but it was the three-pointer -- just the 12th of his career -- that was the game-winning shot, as he drained it with no time left on the clock for a true buzzer-beater. Over 12 games since the All-Star break, Adebayo is averaging 18.5 points, 10.2 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Duncan Robinson - Erupts for 30 in Detroit Robinson posted 30 points (10-15 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 victory over the Pistons.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (foot) and Tyler Herro (foot) both unavailable for Miami, Robinson made his 11th straight start and delivered a season scoring high. The seven made three-pointers were also a season best for the 29-year-old wing, and during his stint in the starting five, Robinson's averaging 14.9 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 boards, 3.3 threes and 1.1 steals.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Gets starting nod Sunday Jaquez will start Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (foot) and Nikola Jovic (hamstring) sidelined, Jaquez and Haywood Highsmith will join the starting lineup. As a starter this season (17 games), Jaquez has averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 32.9 minutes per game.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Starting Sunday Highsmith will start Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (foot) and Nikola Jovic (hamstring) out, Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez are joining the starting lineup. As a starter (24 games), Highsmith has averaged 6.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22.6 minutes per game.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Remaining out Sunday Love (heel) is inactive for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Impact Love will miss his ninth consecutive game Sunday due to a right heel contusion, and his status is extremely murky as Miami closes a back-to-back Monday against Philadelphia. Thomas Bryant has compiled 31 minutes across the last two contests and should retain a similar rotation Sunday.

Jimmy Butler - Won't play Sunday Butler (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Impact Butler's next opportunity to take the court comes in the second half of Miami's back-to-back Monday. Butler dealt with an extended absence due to a right toe sprain in December and January, but there is no inclination that his current right foot bruise is related. Jaime Jaquez is a candidate to start and in his stead and is averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19 games without Butler this season.

Nikola Jovic - Out versus Pistons Jovic will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Heat due to a hamstring strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Jovic presumably picked up the injury in Friday's victory over the Pistons. In his absence, Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith figure to be the prime beneficiaries. The second-year big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the 76ers.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Questionable against Detroit Butler is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to a right foot contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Butler injured his foot during Friday's win over Detroit and is now in danger of missing Sunday's contest. If Butler is ruled out, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Tyler Herro - Out at least another week Herro (foot) received a platelet-rich plasma injection Friday on his right foot and will re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Herro has already missed Miami's last 10 contests with a right foot injury and is now set to be sidelined for at least another week. Duncan Robinson will likely continue to start in his absence. There is still optimism that Herro can return to action before the end of the regular season.
