Jaquez was part of what will likely be the biggest move of the offseason, and he now has a chance to grow into a bigger role in Milwaukee. While he will likely be behind Tyler Herro on the totem pole, the Bucks will be a team in need of offense next season. Jaquez averaged 15.4 points per game and was the runner-up for 6th Man of the Year voting last season.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-2 FT) and dished out five assists in Sunday's win over the Hawks.

Jaquez Jr. continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more assists, two or more rebounds, and 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The 25-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers an impactful option as part of a versatile Miami lineup, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 21.5% so far this season.

Jaquez snapped a double-double drought of just over two months Wednesday, recording his sixth of the season — 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, two three-pointers, two assists, and one block in the loss to the Celtics.

The timing is notable heading into the final stretch, and while the production has been inconsistent, a double-double in a game where he was one of the few Miami players to contribute across multiple categories is worth acknowledging.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. led Miami with 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-5 3PT, 0-1 FT) and added two rebounds, three assists, and a block in the Heat's 149-128 loss to Cleveland on Friday.

Jaquez paced eight Heat players in double figures with 20 points - his 19th time reaching the 20-point plateau this season. With his 20 points, he has scored an even 1,000 points this year - his first time reaching that milestone. Jaquez is averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 11 games this month.
