Jones closed Tuesday's 127-120 loss to New Orleans with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jones continues to play a key role off the bench, soaking up some additional minutes while Norman Powell recovers from his hamstring injury. Over his last six outings, Jones has been a viable fantasy streamer in deeper formats with 12.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.3 minutes.

Jones (groin) tallied nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block across 18 minutes in Friday's 105-95 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was back in action following a three-game absence due to a groin injury, but he was used off the bench for just the seventh time in 58 appearances on the season while Nicolas Batum drew the start at power forward. Though Batum won't necessarily be in store for a long-term stay on the top unit, Jones may not get his starting spot back either. The Clippers will eventually get Norman Powell back from a hamstring injury, and he's a likelier bet than Jones to start alongside James Harden, Kris Dunn, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac moving forward. Over his seven games as a reserve, Jones is averaging 9.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Jones (groin) will not play Wednesday against Detroit, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Jones (groin) is out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A right groin strain will keep Jones from playing in his second straight game. The veteran forward's next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Pistons. With Jones joined by Norman Powell (hamstring) and Ben Simmons (knee) on the sidelines against Phoenix, Amir Coffey and Bogdan Bogdanovic are in line to soak up additional minutes.

EDGE Analysis
Jones started in Friday's loss to the Lakers, tallying eight points, four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 28 minutes, but he'll sit out Sunday's game due to the injury. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Suns, meaning Amir Coffey, Bogdan Bogdanovic and even Jordan Miller could see more minutes with Jones out.
