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.

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.
