NBC SportsJaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) is probable to play against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Jaquez Jr. missed their last game with a stomach illness, but he should be back in the lineup against Cleveland. Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson both played extra minutes off the bench with Jaquez out, but his return should cut into both of their roles.

NBC SportsJaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Jaquez was initially listed as questionable with a stomach illness, and he won't be able to suit up against Orlando. With Jimmy Butler suspended again, Nikola Jovic, Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith should take on extra minutes, with Alec Burks potentially returning to the rotation.

NBC SportsDuncan Robinson (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.

Robinson is a late addition to the Heat injury report, which usually doesn't bode well for a player's availability. With Jimmy Butler (suspension) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) already out, the Heat may be without three rotation players for Monday's game. While Pelle Larsson may take on a more prominent role due to the absences, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith will be ahead of the rookie in the pecking order.

NBC SportsHaywood Highsmith shot 0-of-3 from the field in Saturday's win over the Nets, going scoreless with two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one blocked shot in 20 minutes.

Highsmith returned to the starting lineup on Saturday, replacing rookie Pelle Larsson, but he failed to offer much value. While fantasy managers didn't necessarily "go home" empty-handed, the counting stats were limited. Add in a scoreless night, with Highsmith missing all three of his attempts, and there remains no reason to roster him in most leagues. While that can also be said for Larsson, who played five minutes and recorded no stats, Nikola Jovic has emerged as a solid option in deep leagues. Rostered in 32% of Yahoo leagues, he finished Saturday's win with 17 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 30 minutes. Whether he starts or not, it's "Jovic time" in Miami.

NBC SportsTyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith, Kel'El Ware, and Bam Adebayo will start Saturday's game against the Nets.

Highsmith is the lone change to the Heat starting lineup, replacing rookie Pelle Larsson. While capable of providing defensive stats, Highsmith hasn't done enough on most nights to merit being rostered in many fantasy leagues. The player to watch is Ware, who makes his third straight start and has flourished recently.
