Hits two three-pointers in win Jones registered eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 win over Golden State.

However, with season averages of 1.9 points on 31.6 percent from the field and 19 percent from three, Jones has a long way to make a stronger case for more playing time.

Supplies six points Jones recorded six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Jones didn't post flashy numbers but provided steady, efficient minutes off the bench Saturday. The Duke product, in his first season with the Magic after spending 2024-25 with the Suns, is a proven and reliable presence as the primary backup point guard to Jalen Suggs. While his statistical output and fantasy relevance are limited in this role, the veteran's value as a stabilizing depth piece for Orlando is clear.
