Jones is questionable to play Wednesday versus Houston due to groin soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is dealing with soreness in his right adductor. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 12th, but Naji Marshall and Jordan Hawkins would be in line for increased usage if Jones is unable to suit up Wednesday.

Jones accumulated 22 points (8-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Jones has largely struggled in recent weeks, but he turned things around with an efficient performance in Tuesday's blowout win. While his performance against the Jazz was encouraging, he'll need to turn in a few more strong stat lines before fully regaining the trust of fantasy managers.

Jones ended Friday's 123-109 loss to Phoenix with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Jones continues to struggle on both ends of the floor, failing to record a steal for the fourth time in the past five games. After his strong start to the season, Jones' production has fallen off a cliff over the past month. During that time, he has been the 160th-ranked player in standard leagues, averaging just 9.8 points per game to go with 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 combined steals and blocks. At this point, he should be viewed as nothing more than a category league specialist, albeit one who often struggles in his preferred category.

Jones finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 125-113 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Jones ended Friday with another passive performance, continuing his recent struggles. After a hot start to the season, Jones has been unable to maintain his momentum, sitting well outside the top 150 in standard leagues over the past month. Despite the defensive upside, Jones should be viewed as nothing more than a steals specialist at this point, making him expendable in some 12-team leagues.

Jones logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 141-105 win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Every one of Jones' seven shots Wednesday came from beyond the arc, and he efficiently made four of them. That tied the season-high total that he established three games prior versus Minnesota. Jones is averaging a career-best 1.3 triples per contest this season, though his strongest skill remains his defense. After picking up two blocks and one steal Wednesday, he's averaging 1.3 thefts and 1.0 swats on the season.

Jones recorded four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Jones was disappointing again Tuesday, scoring fewer than eight points for the seventh time in the past eight games. While the scoring has been a real issue, his lack of production on the defensive end is perhaps the bigger concern. Over the eight-game span, he has recorded a total of just five steals and two blocks. For a player whose fantasy value is built on defensive numbers, the recent trend is not what managers want to be seeing. As of right now, he probably falls into the specialist category, meaning he can be dropped in standard leagues.

Jones (illness) is available to face the Cavaliers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Pelicans will be shorthanded in the frontcourt, but having Jones available should provide quite a boost on both sides of the ball, particularly due to his ability to defend multiple positions. Jones has started in each of his 25 appearances this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and that figures to be the case again Thursday.

Jones (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Cleveland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jones is dealing with a non-COVID illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup, and the Pelicans will wait to see how he fares leading up to tipoff before determining his status. Trey Murphy, Dyson Daniels and Jordan Hawkins could see increased roles Thursday if Jones is unavailable.

Jones is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a non-COVID illness, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears a bug is going around the Pelicans, as Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas are also both questionable with illnesses. If Jones is ruled out, Trey Murphy, Dyson Daniels and Jordan Hawkins are all candidates to receive extended minutes.

Jones amassed seven points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 115-113 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Jones' downward slide continued Tuesday, scoring just seven points, while failing to record a defensive stat. As a player whose fantasy value is built on defensive production, nights like this are a real worry. After a hot start to the season, he has come crashing back to earth over the two weeks, sitting outside the top 250 in nine-category leagues. At this point, he should still be rostered but is only beneficial in specific situations.
