2nd lowest Bucks total of the year - snoozer

The Heat take on the Bucks for a Tuesday night showdown. The Heat will be without Jimmy Butler (personal), Terry Rozier (knee), and Josh Richardson (shoulder) and Duncan Robinson (arm) is also listed as Questionable. One player I expect to step up in their absence is rookie, Jaime Jacquez Jr. Jacquez has been excellent this season, especially in an expanded role. In 16 games he’s played without Jimmy Butler, he has averaged 15.8 points in 33.5 minutes per game. He has exceeded his 13.5 points line in 12/16 games. Without Rozier, that takes away another high-Usage player that can get his own shot. While the Bucks present a tougher challenge defensively because their drop defense is so effective with Giannis and Brook Lopez on the interior, Jaime’s Usage could be off the charts in this game. I expect him to see 30+ minutes tonight, and when he has done so, he’s averaged 17.2 points per game. I like Jaime Jacquez to exceed 13.5 Points.
