Jaquez (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Jaquez has made several appearances on the injury report of late for various reasons. However, he is available for his third consecutive contest. The 25-year-old has had the best season of his career, averaging 14.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 28.3 minutes per tilt across 66 regular-season games.
Jaquez (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jaquez was previously carrying a questionable tag for Miami, but it sounds like he will give it a go. Over his last four appearances, he's averaging 12.5 points, 6.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per contest.
Jaquez is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland with a right ankle sprain.
It's a new injury for Jaquez, who could test out his ankle during pregame warmups Friday. If the forward cannot play, Pelle Larsson would likely see a boost in playing time versus the Cavaliers.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 19 with first unit
Rotowire
Powell racked up 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 victory over the Cavaliers.
Powell moved back into the first unit Wednesday, as the Heat continue to experiment with different groups. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Powell maintains a steady usage rate and workload, so it's not a make-or-break situation for his fantasy value.
Larsson isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Larsson had started in each of his last 29 appearances, but he'll come off the bench Wednesday as the Heat opt to start Norman Powell. In 13 appearances off the bench this season, Larsson is averaging 15.8 minutes.

Heat's Norman Powell: Back in starting five
Rotowire
Powell is in the Heat's staring lineup against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Powell has come off the bench in three of his last four outings, but the veteran wing will return to the starting five Wednesday while Pelle Larsson comes off the bench for the first time since Jan. 13 against the Suns. In his four appearances since returning from a seven-game absence due to a right groin strain, Powell has averaged 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 threes over 31.3 minutes per game.
Herro contributed 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.
Herro was one of three players to reach 18 points for Miami, along with Bam Adebayo (18) and Norman Powell (21). He's been a seventh-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games, during which he has averaged 18.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes.

Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Jakucionis had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to San Antonio.
Jakucionis was a bright spot off the bench for Miami. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per contest during that span.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Sees 20 minutes in return
Rotowire
Wiggins (toe) closed Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 20 minutes.
Cleared to play for the first time since March 5 after an eight-game absence due to left big toe sesamoiditis, Wiggins reclaimed his usual spot in the starting five but saw a modest workload. The fact that the Spurs had built a 30-point lead by the middle of the third quarter likely played a factor in Wiggins' limited playing time, as the veteran forward sat out the final 18 minutes. Wiggins should see something closer to a normal minutes load if the Heat can keep things more competitive in Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Inefficient scoring in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo produced 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.
Adebayo turned in a subpar performance in a blowout loss for the Heat. The big man was outstanding Saturday with a 32-point, 21-rebound double-double but has looked a bit shaky from the field of late, shooting 40 percent or below in three of his past five games since his 83-point eruption, with two of those outings coming at 30 percent or lower, including Monday. Given the 28-year-old's generally consistent work on the glass -- albeit muted against the Spurs -- and his ability to frequently get to the free-throw line, Adebayo can often still produce even when his efficiency from the field dips.

Heat's Norman Powell: Paces Miami in loss
Rotowire
Powell ended with 21 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.
Powell led his team in scoring in what was a thorough, wire-to-wire loss for the Heat. The veteran's scoring consistency has not waned in his first season with the team, as he's now reached the 20-point mark in 38 of 53 appearances. While he's come off the bench in three of the past four contests, Powell's playing time hasn't been affected, as the wing has logged 30-plus minutes in all four outings.
