Jones finished with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 93-84 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones' shot was on point despite the low total from the team, as the Alabama product missed just one of his seven shot attempts. Despite a firm grasp on the first-unit job, Jones' totals tend to fluctuate widely, making him an undesirable fantasy option. He's exceeded 20 points only twice this season and fails to produce significant secondary numbers.

Jones (adductor) supplied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 138-100 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the Pelicans' big margin of victory, Jones was eased back in from a two-game absence due to a sore adductor with a lighter workload than usual. The third-year forward is connecting at a career-best 39.2 percent of his three-point attempts this season to raise his offensive floor, but for fantasy purposes, he continues to bring most of his value in the two defensive categories.

Jones (groin) will play Monday versus Toronto, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones returns from a two-game absence that was due to right adductor soreness. He is joined by Zion Williamson (foot) and Larry Nance (ankle) in being cleared to play, bringing the Pelicans to full strength Monday.

Jones (adductor) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors, and a decision on his status will be made following warmups in advance of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was a full participant in Friday's practice and was on the court for Monday's morning shootaround, so he appears likelier than not to suit up Monday. The third-year forward has missed the Pelicans' last two games with right adductor soreness, which has allowed Trey Murphy to pick up a pair of starts.

Jones (adductor) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Jones is at risk of missing his third consecutive game due to a sore right adductor. On a positive note, Jones was able to log a full practice Sunday, so even if he's unavailable Monday, he appears to be trending in the right direction.

Jones (thigh) participated in portions of Thursday's practice session, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones was unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, but it's encouraging that he was at least able to partially participate in practice a day later. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against the Spurs. If Jones and/or Zion Williamson (foot) are sidelined again, Naji Marshall and Jonas Valanciunas should see increased run for the Pelicans.

Jones (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones and Zion Williamson (foot) have both been ruled out, so Trey Murphy, Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall are all candidates for increased roles. This is Jones' first absence since Nov. 12, but he can be considered day-to-day moving forward, with Friday's matchup in San Antonio marking his next chance to suit up.
