Miami Heat forwards Jimmy Butler and Jaime Jaquez have developed quite a chemistry on the basketball court. 

Now, they are showing they can work together in different settings. Butler and Jaquez star in a new television commercial for Hotels.com. The ad promotes the company's app that allow customers the opportunity to compare hotels prices side by side. 

The ad begins with Butler and Jaquez sitting at a table on the outside patio at what appears to be a hotel. They spend most of the 30-second spot sniffing two cups of coffee, comparing them. Butler then breaks the silence by saying, "I love a good side by side comparison especially on the Hotels.com app." 

Jaquez doesn't have a speaking line in the commercial. It was fitting Butler participated in an ad that involved coffee. He is the founder of Big Face, a company based on selling coffee. It also features a clothing line. 

Butler will not play in tonight's game against the Orlando Magic because of a left calf strain. This was Jaquez's first commercial. He has been arguably the surprise of this year's rookie class, becoming an instant rotation player. He is fourth on the team in scoring at 13 points a game, trailing only Tyer Herro, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
