Herbert Jones News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Tossed in second half Jones was ejected from Monday's game against Charlotte after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jones was tossed after an inadvertent elbow struck Miles Bridges in the third quarter. He finishes the contest with five points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 19 minutes. Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall should expect to see more minutes down the stretch as a result.

Leads team with 22 points Jones recorded 22 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Suns.

Impact Jones was effective in absorbing most of Brandon Ingram's (hamstring) missing output. Jones was filling in for CJ McCollum, but upon McCollum's return, Jones supplanted Naji Marshall at the wing and drew the start. Despite the blowout result, Jones appeared to be a much better fit for the Pelicans' scheme. Jones is more of a pure scorer than Marshall, who is a better defensive tool.

Drops 15 points Wednesday Jones added 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds during Wednesday's 108-102 loss to the Magic.

Impact Jones scored in double figures for a second straight matchup, and his 15 points were the most he has recorded since dropping a career-high 26 versus the Cavaliers on Dec. 28. The rookie is averaging 9.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in the month of March so far.

Improved play in lopsided win Jones closed Sunday's 123-95 win over the Lakers with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes.

Impact Jones got back to what he does best Sunday, taking advantage of a highly disappointing Lakers outfit. After a stretch of three straight sub-par performances, with single-digit scoring and no three-pointers, fantasy managers will be breathing a sigh of relief after Jones was able to deliver on the defensive end of the floor, adding a handful of points in the process. The rookie has surpassed all expectations thus far this year and so while there are going to be some additional bumps in the road, he should remain a must-roster player the rest of the way.

Hits two threes in loss Jones had 13 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Jones' stat lines rarely jump off the page, but he's been a top-five fantasy rookie for much of the season thanks to his defensive contributions paired with a consistently heavy workload. The Alabama product is locked into a starting spot on the wing, and the departure of Josh Hart at the trade deadline should only solidify Jones' role.

Records first double-double Jones registered 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Jones took advantage of the lowly Rockets to post his first career double-double, which helped make up for his subpar efficiency. He also posted three assists for a second straight game and got three-plus steals for the 11th time. The Pelicans trading for CJ McCollum could slightly cut into Jones' usage, but the rookie is primarily a defensive asset.

Offensive explosion Friday Jones registered 25 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 113-105 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Jones, better known for his incredible defensive abilities, turned things up a notch, going for 25 points in Friday's victory. He fell one short of his career high, set back on Dec. 28. It's been a meteoric rise for the rookie, who continues to thrive as a member of the undermanned Pelicans starting five. Obviously, the scoring won't be there every game but his floor is certainly high enough to warrant must-roster status in most fantasy formats.

All-around performance in loss Jones contributed 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 116-105 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Jones scored in double figures for the ninth time in his last 10 games and has shot 56.2 percent from the field during that stretch. He also showed why he was voted SEC Defensive Player of the Year during his final season with Alabama by snatching five steals, tying his season high. The rookie is averaging 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game.

Racks up five steals Jones produced 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and five steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 116-105 loss to Denver.

Impact Jones matched his season high with five steals in what was another overall strong performance for the rookie. Jones is averaging 12.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals per game across 13 contests in January. He is also logging a robust 33.7 minutes each night over that span.

Another quality performance Jones finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 102-91 win over the Knicks.

Impact The rookie second-round pick continues to be subtle revelation for the Pelicans. He's a well-rounded contributor, shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three, while looking 1.5 steals per game with high defensive grades. Despite infrequently hitting the 20-point mark, Jones is a high-floor asset who can be rostered in standard leagues.

Defensive numbers return Thursday Jones registered 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 113-89 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Jones racked up another three steals in the victory, a welcome sight for anyone invested in the young upstart. While the defensive contributions have been relatively constant thus far, it has been his offensive game that has progressed during the month of January. He has now scored in double-digits in eight of his past nine games, simply reinforcing him as a must-roster player in all 12-team leagues.
