Jones provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 119-108 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Jones continues to produce on both ends of the floor, scoring double digits for the eighth time in the past nine games. He has also recorded 15 combined steals and blocks in his past three games, flirting with top 20 value during that time. For now, Jones has to be added in all leagues, at least until John Collins (neck) is cleared to return.

EDGE Analysis
Jones made a quick stop in the locker room after taking a blow to the head during the third quarter, but he was quickly given the green light to continue. He checked back into the game with 3:35 remaining in the third period.

Jones went to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Knicks due to an apparent head injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones looked to take a blow to the head while finishing at the basket, and he exited the matchup at the next whistle. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Jones produced 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Friday's 116-112 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Jones didn't have an efficient night from the field during Friday's loss, but he managed to reach double-digit points for the fourth time in his last five games while swatting two shots for the ninth time this season. Since the All-Star break, Jones has averaged 13.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 blocks over 31.1 minutes per game.

Jones finished Thursday's 94-88 loss to the Timberwolves with 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The team didn't do enough to account for Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) absence, as the Clippers posted their second-lowest total of the season despite a decent line from Jones. Although the addition of Bennedict Mathurin has been significant, Jones has served well as a frequent fill-in for Leonard and will usually post viable totals when the All-Star is absent.

Jones posted 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 win over Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Although Bennedict Mathurin's 38-point result was the biggest headline for the Clippers, Jones proved to be a valuable piece of the puzzle as the team moves forward without James Harden's services. Kris Dunn lacks the necessary production to fill the scoring gap at point guard, so the Clippers will lean more on Jones and Mathurin while Kawhi Leonard takes the reins on offense. Jones is currently averaging a career-high 10.5 points per game this season, and that number could continue to rise due to the Clippers' needs on offense.

Jones finished Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Rockets with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jones continues to play a significant role for the Clippers, having now logged at least 27 minutes in four straight games. While he is typically what some might consider a low-volume player, Jones has been able to extract an awful amount from his limited fantasy game. In his four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 9.0 points, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.8 combined steals and blocks. Even those in standard leagues could consider him for defensive streaming purposes.

Jones closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Jones continues to work his way back from an extended absence with a knee injury, chipping in a full stat line. Over his last three appearances, Jones has averaged 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Jones started Friday's game against the Kings, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kobe Sanders was named the starter for Friday's game, but it was Jones who was on the floor for the opening tip, and it's not clear what prompted the change. Jones made his return Wednesday from a 15-game absence and logged seven points, two rebounds and one block over 21 minutes in the Clippers' 124-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Jones (knee) closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Though Jones logged 20-plus minutes in his first game since Jan. 3 after missing just over a month due to a Grade 2 right knee sprain, his statistical output was muted during his time on the court. Inconsistent production has been a trend for Jones throughout his career, so even if his playing time increases as he gets ramped up, fantasy managers should prepare for plenty of ebbs and flows with his numbers. For the season, the 28-year-old forward is averaging 10.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 24.1 minutes per game over his 18 appearances.
