Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Pistons.Jaquez Jr. was listed as questionable on Wednesday against the Bucks before ultimately playing, so there's a chance he's able to take the court against Detroit. If Jaquez Jr. ends up missing time, Simone Fontecchio would likely see a bump in minutes.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.Jaquez played 33 minutes off the bench in Monday's win over the Mavericks, and his playing time may decrease on Wednesday if he plays. Norman Powell (groin) is probable, and with Tyler Herro also in the fold, Jaquez stands to have a lower fantasy ceiling. If he can't play, more minutes will be available to Simone Fontecchio.
Nikola Jovic (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.Jovic has missed Miami's last four games with a hip injury, freeing up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio. However, with Tyler Herro available and Norman Powell (groin) considered probable, all three Heat reserves may lose out on playing time in Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup. Of the three, Jaquez is the safest option in terms of fantasy value.
Nikola Jovic (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.Jovic is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with a hip injury. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio should continue to see additional minutes off the bench in his absence against the Mavericks on Monday.
Andrew Wiggins (left hip flexor) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.It's been reported that Wiggins' injury won't linger, so there's a chance he's back on Sunday against the 76ers. With Tyler Herro (ankle) also not returning until Monday, that should mean continued high usage for Jaime Jaques Jr. and extra minutes for Simone Fontecchio and maybe Pelle Larsson as well.
