Jaime Jaquez Jr. scores 18 points in loss to the Nets

Fantasy Impact:

Jaquez scored 18.0 points in the Heat's loss to the Nets, making this his fourth consecutive game with at least 15.0 points. The rookie has shown much promise this month, putting together meaningful minutes by demonstrating his scoring prowess. The Heat are looking for ways to remain competitive on the offensive side of the ball due to the absence of Tyler Herro and, most recently, Duncan Robinson, and it seems as though the team has found some success in sorting out that need with the first-year man out of UCLA. In addition to his scoring, he has demonstrated some ability in crashing the boards, facilitating plays, and getting steals, which could bode well for those looking to build some utility into their roster rotation. Given his competitive level of production and consistency, Jaquez warrants must-roster consideration in most season-long leagues. Given his floor, upside, and price point, he could be a viable option in daily formats. He has a usage rate of 18.1 percent, a plus-minus of -0.1, and is averaging 25.8 minutes, 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game while shooting 50.7 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.
