Provides spark in fill-in role Jones closed with 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 125-113 victory over Minnesota in...

Impact Jones joined the starting five with Aaron Gordon (calf) out of commission, and the second-year pro recorded his second-highest scoring total of the season during the convincing victory. The Stanford product started in 37 of 64 games this season and has witnessed sharp increases in minutes, points, rebounds and assists during the 2025-26 campaign. Jones has finished with zero points twice during this series, and a return from Gordon in Game 6 could greatly diminish his fantasy prospects.

Drawing start in Game 5 Jones will start Monday's Game 5 against Minnesota.

Impact Jones will slot into the starting lineup for Aaron Gordon, who was ruled out about one hour before tipoff with a calf injury. Jones has failed to make much of an impact so far this series, as he's averaging 2.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.

Held scoreless in defeat Jones contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 112-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first roun...

Impact Jones performed clean-up duty and also stepped in for Aaron Gordon briefly. His poor total mimicked below-average results from the first-unit wings, and Jones could be called upon for more production if Gordon's calf injury crops up on the injury report. Although Jones started for Gordon in Game 3, he's generated only 11 total points over the four-game series against the Timberwolves.

Won't start Saturday Jones won't start Saturday's Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves.

Impact With Aaron Gordon back from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, Jones will slide to the second unit. He totaled just 19 minutes off the bench across the first two games of this series, amassing five points and two rebounds in those appearances.

Available Saturday Jones (hamstring) is available for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones missed Denver's final six regular-season games due to a right hamstring strain but will return for the start of the playoffs. With Peyton Watson (hamstring) still sidelined, Jones will likely see minutes with the second unit. The 24-year-old averaged 2.7 points and 2.5 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per game in 26 regular-season appearances off the bench.

Questionable for Game 1 Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with Minnesota.

Impact Jones missed the Timberwolves' final six regular-season games due to the hamstring injury, but maybe he'll be cleared for Saturday's game. If he does play, he'll likely have some strict minutes restrictions in his first game back.

Out vs. San Antonio Jones (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Jones will miss a sixth straight game due to a right hamstring strain. It remains to be seen whether he'll be ready for the start of the playoffs next week, as he'll have an entire week to continue his rehab. Jones averaged 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in 64 regular-season appearances (37 starts) in the regular season.

Tabbed out for Friday Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Jones has been downgraded to out for a fifth straight matchup with a right hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Sunday in the regular-season finale against San Antonio.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Still out for Wednesday Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact The 24-year-old forward will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right hamstring strain, and it's not an encouraging sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Jones and Peyton Watson (hamstring) both sidelined, Julian Strawther will likely continue seeing meaningful playing time.

Out again Monday Jones (hamstring) remains out for Monday's game against Portland.

Impact Jones will miss a third consecutive game Monday because of a strained right hamstring. While the 24-year-old hasn't officially been ruled out beyond the meeting with the Trail Blazers, it's logical to assume he will miss more time moving ahead. Jones has been a valuable depth piece for the Nuggets this season, averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 steals in 64 games, which includes 37 starts. While he is off the floor, Julian Strawther should see more work.
