Shines with triple-double Jones closed Friday's 126-120 overtime victory over San Antonio with 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 42 minutes.
Impact The Grizzlies mounted the biggest comeback of the season against San Antonio, and Jones played a pivotal role in the win, notching a triple-double for the first time in 2022-23. Jones has thrived in a starting role with Ja Morant (suspension) sidelined, scoring in double digits in each of his seven outings with the first unit and averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in that span. Jones should remain a strong play across all formats as long as Morant remains out.

Dishes game-high 10 assists Jones registered 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.
Impact Jones made only two of five shots for four points in the first half but served as the primary facilitator for the Grizzlies' offense with seven assists entering the break. He added seven points in the second half, with four of them coming at the free-throw line, while dishing out another three dimes to finish with a game-high 10 assists on the night. Jones has now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games and in three of his last four. He's also scored in double figures in four straight, as he continues to thrive in the absence of Ja Morant due to continued personal time away from the team.

Posts double-double sans Morant Jones ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 win over the Warriors.
Impact Jones continues to excel with Ja Morant (suspension) away from the team. He's averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals with 51/47/89 shooting splits over his past three appearances (all starts), and despite increased usage, Jones has turned the ball over only three times, though all three of those came during Thursday's win.

Superb in relief Jones logged 25 points (9-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and five steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 135-129 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Jones submitted a stellar double-double, lessening the sting of Ja Morant's (suspension) absence. There's no clear timetable for Morant's return, so Jones should be considered a streaming starter for the coming week in all formats.

Starting Sunday Jones is starting Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Jones came off the bench in his last nine appearances, but his presence in Sunday's starting lineup isn't very surprising since Ja Morant is suspended for at least two games. Jones has averaged 18.8 points, 7.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 33.1 minutes per game over nine starts this year, and he'll likely continue to start as long as Morant is away from the team.

Scores 17 points off bench Jones ended Saturday's 112-94 win over Denver with 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes.
Impact Jones had a strong showing off the bench and scored in double digits for the first time since Jan. 29, clearing the 15-point plateau for the first time since Jan. 20 as well. Jones can deliver solid performances from time to time, but the fact that he plays backup to one of the best point guards in the league limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Minimal impact off bench Jones had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Jones played 34 minutes in a start against the Raptors on Feb. 5 but has returned to the bench over his four appearances since then and hasn't had much of an impact as a reserve. He's been held scoreless in two of his last four outings and has averaged 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over that stretch. As long as the Grizzlies' backcourt is at full strength, Jones doesn't have much fantasy relevance.
FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back to bench Jones will return to the bench Tuesday against the Bulls, according to Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast
Impact No surprises here with Ja Morant back in the lineup. Even as a reserve, Jones has been a serviceable fantasy asset for his production in assists and steals.
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stuffs stat sheet as starter Jones amassed nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 106-103 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Though the wrist injury that kept Ja Morant on the bench Sunday isn't believed to be serious, Jones makes for an appealing streaming option for assists and steals any time the two-time All-Star is sidelined. Jones lived up to that reputation Sunday, and he's now averaging 18.8 points, 7.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes over his nine starts this season. If Morant is sidelined again Tuesday against the Bulls, fantasy managers can activate Jones with confidence.
FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Draws spot start Jones will start Sunday's matchup against the Raptors, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
Impact With Ja Morant (wrist) out, Jones will draw his ninth start of the season. In his previous eight starts, the backup point guard has averaged 20.0 points, 7.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs two steals in loss Jones closed Thursday's 128-113 loss to Cleveland with six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals over 24 minutes.
Impact Jones had multiple steals for the fourth time in his past six games but failed to produce in the other categories. As long as Ja Morant is healthy, Jones will continue to play second fiddle when it comes to point guard minutes. He can be streamed in for anyone needing assists and steals, two categories that are not plentiful at this stage.

Posts solid line in spot start Jones totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 133-100 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Jones started the contest in place of Ja Morant (ankle), and while the Duke product didn't have his best shooting performance, he made strong contributions as a rebounder, passer and defender. Jones also committed only one turnover, extending his streak of consecutive games with one or zero miscues to seven. The veteran point guard's ability to protect the ball certainly doesn't hurt his fantasy value, though his ceiling is limited while playing off the bench behind Morant.
