Jones registered eight points (3-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
With Jordan Poole totally phased out of the New Orleans rotation, Jones seems to be locked in as the top shooting guard the rest of the way. Jones still appears to be knocking off some rust after missing extended time with an ankle sprain in January. Over his last nine outings, Jones has averaged 7.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.5 minutes per game while shooting a poor 24.4 percent from deep.

Jones accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Jones cashed in a season-high four triples Monday after failing to eclipse more than one in a game since returning from his ankle injury. While he has not shot the ball well from beyond the arc recently, converting just 18.2 percent of his three-point attempts in the five games prior, Jones' performance Monday can be an encouraging sign that he may be getting back on track in terms of his efficiency.

Jones notched nine points (3-12 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Jones opened Tuesday's game with six straight misses and never found his footing offensively. The struggles were team-wide, as the Pelicans shot just 34-for-99 from the floor and 10-for-40 from three-point range against the Thunder's No. 1-rated defense. On the positive side, Jones contributed four stocks and five assists without a turnover and ended his evening with a plus-9 differential.

Jones (ankle) finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes in Friday's 133-127 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
With Jones making his return from an eight-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, the Pelicans opted to include him as part of a starting unit that lacked a true point guard while Jeremiah Fears moved to the bench. Jones ended up taking on some extra playmaking responsibilities as a result and netted a season-high assist total, and his output in that category plus strong defensive numbers helped offset the lack of scoring production. Assuming his ankle presented no complications during Friday's contest, Jones could see his minutes pick up slightly in the Pelicans' next game Sunday in San Antonio.

Jones (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will shake off his questionable tag and return from an eight-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 27-year-old forward has appeared in just one game since Dec. 23, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Micah Peavy, Bryce McGowens and Jordan Hawkins.

Jones (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Jones has a chance to end a seven-game absence due to an ankle sprain. If the forward makes his return to the New Orleans lineup, fewer minutes would be available for Saddiq Bey and Yves Missi in the frontcourt rotation.

Jones is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is trying to end a seven-game absence with the sprain. However, his potential absence would leave Saddiq Bey locked into significant minutes, while the door would stay open for Yves Missi to soak up more playing time in the frontcourt.
