Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been on the court for 29.4 minutes per game this year, seeing the court more than most players in the NBA: 77th percentile.As it relates to shots from downtown, the Heat's terrific 37.4% rate of converted threes ranks 9th-most in the NBA this year.This year when they are the visiting squad, opposing starting SFs have tallied 6.1 3-point attempts per game (29th-most in the NBA) vs. the Sacramento Kings, identifying this as a strong matchup.The Miami Heat are expected to see a rise in plays in this contest from squaring off against the 5th-most up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (the Kings).The Sacramento Kings have given up the least offensive boards per game (9.1) in the league to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).
