Impact Jones led all Pelicans players in scoring and steals while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes and ending one rebound short of a double-double in a well-rounded performance. Jones has hauled in nine or more rebounds in two games this season while tallying a season-high-tying handful of steals. He has recorded at least 15 points an five boards in seven outings this year.

Posts 14 points in victory Jones finished with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 93-84 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Jones' shot was on point despite the low total from the team, as the Alabama product missed just one of his seven shot attempts. Despite a firm grasp on the first-unit job, Jones' totals tend to fluctuate widely, making him an undesirable fantasy option. He's only exceeded 20 points twice this season and fails to produce significant secondary numbers.

Quiet in return Jones supplied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 138-100 win over the Raptors.

Impact Jones posted his 22nd game of the season with single-digit scoring, but he showed no signs of lingering groin soreness, which had cost him two games prior. Jones is hitting a career-best 39.2 percent of 3.5 threes per game this season, and represents a solid connective piece in the Pelicans' offense regardless of his scoring impact.

Questionable versus San Antonio Jones (thigh) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs.

Partially participates in practice Jones (thigh) participated in portions of Thursday's practice session, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jones was unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, but it's encouraging that he was at least able to partially participate in practice a day later. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against the Spurs. If Jones or Zion Williamson (foot) are sidelined again, Naji Marshall and Jonas Valanciunas should see increased run for the Pelicans.

Downgraded to out Jones (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jones and Zion Williamson (foot) have both been ruled out, so Trey Murphy, Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall are all candidates for increased roles. This is Jones' first absence since Nov. 12, but he can be considered day-to-day moving forward, with Friday's matchup in San Antonio marking his next chance to suit up.

Questionable for Wednesday Jones is questionable to play Wednesday versus Houston due to groin soreness.

Drops 22 points in victory Jones accumulated 22 points (8-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact Jones has largely struggled in recent weeks, but he turned things around Tuesday with an efficient performance in Tuesday's blowout win. While his performance against the Jazz was encouraging, he'll need to turn in a few more strong stat lines before fully regaining the trust of fantasy managers.

Mid-season struggles continue Jones ended Friday's 123-109 loss to Phoenix with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes.

Impact Jones continues to struggle on both ends of the floor, failing to record a steal for the fourth time in the past five games. After his strong start to the season, Jones' production has fallen off a cliff over the past month. During that time, he has been the 160th-ranked player in standard leagues, averaging just 9.8 points per game to go with 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 combined steals and blocks. At this point, he should be viewed as nothing more than a category league specialist, albeit one who often struggles in his preferred category.

Struggles continue in loss Jones finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 125-113 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Jones ended Friday with another passive performance, continuing his recent struggles. After a hot start to the season, Jones has been unable to maintain his momentum, sitting well outside the top 150 in standard leagues over the past month. Despite the defensive upside, Jones should be viewed as nothing more than a steals specialist at this point, making him expendable in some 12-team leagues.

Drains four threes in rout Jones logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 141-105 win over the Warriors.

Impact Every one of Jones' seven shots Wednesday came from beyond the arc, and he efficiently made four of them. That tied the season-high total that he established three games prior versus Minnesota. Jones is averaging a career-best 1.3 triples per contest this season, though his strongest skill remains his defense. After picking up two blocks and one steal Wednesday, he's averaging 1.3 thefts and 1.0 swats on the season.

Night to forget Tuesday Jones recorded four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Jones was disappointing again Tuesday, scoring fewer than eight points for the seventh time in the past eight games. While the scoring has been a real issue, his lack of production on the defensive end is perhaps the bigger concern. Over the eight-game span, he has recorded a total of just five steals and two blocks. For a player whose fantasy value is built on defensive numbers, the recent trend is not what managers want to be seeing. As of right now, he probably falls into the specialist category, meaning he can be dropped in standard leagues.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Thursday Jones (illness) is available to face the Cavaliers on Thursday.

Impact The Pelicans will be shorthanded in the frontcourt, but having Jones available should provide quite a boost on both sides of the ball, particularly due to his ability to defend multiple positions. Jones has started in each of his 25 appearances this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and that figures to be the case again Thursday.
