Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been listed as questionable due to a right groin strain, though he was able to play through the injury against the Bucks on Wednesday night.
If Jaquez Jr. is sidelined on Saturday, it would be a major blow to the Heat as he has had a great start to the season and Simone Fontechhio could be in line for a larger role.
