Goes 7-for-10 from field in win Jones finished Monday's 112-108 win over the Mavericks with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes.

Impact After piling up 24 assists over his previous two games, Jones took a step back in that area Monday, but the efficiency he displayed from the field helped to make up for it. Jones has been a roster-worthy player in nearly every format for the past two weeks with averages of 16.3 points, 8.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 33.7 minutes in his nine games since ascending to a starting role, but his fantasy value is likely to take a significant hit as soon as Wednesday against the Rockets. Ja Morant is likely to return from his suspension to unseat Jones on the top unit Wednesday, but with Dillon Brooks in line to sit out the contest while serving a one-game ban, Jones may still be needed to fill minutes off the ball alongside Morant.

Ties career high in assists Jones finished Saturday's 133-119 victory over Golden State with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and 14 assists across 30 minutes.

Impact Jones was outstanding as Memphis' lead point guard, tying his career-high mark with 14 assists without turning the ball over. He chipped in 13 points on a 6-for-11 mark from the field to notch his eighth double-double of the campaign. Fantasy managers who swooped up Jones upon the news of Ja Morant's suspension have been reaping the rewards for the past two weeks, but the good times may soon come to an end. Morant could return next week, which would result in Jones returning to a reserve role.

Shines with triple-double Jones closed Friday's 126-120 overtime victory over San Antonio with 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 42 minutes.

Impact The Grizzlies mounted the biggest comeback of the season against San Antonio, and Jones played a pivotal role in the win, notching a triple-double for the first time in 2022-23. Jones has thrived in a starting role with Ja Morant (suspension) sidelined, scoring in double digits in each of his seven outings with the first unit and averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in that span. Jones should remain a strong play across all formats as long as Morant remains out.

Dishes game-high 10 assists Jones registered 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.

Impact Jones made only two of five shots for four points in the first half but served as the primary facilitator for the Grizzlies' offense with seven assists entering the break. He added seven points in the second half, with four of them coming at the free-throw line, while dishing out another three dimes to finish with a game-high 10 assists on the night. Jones has now recorded a double-double in back-to-back games and in three of his last four. He's also scored in double figures in four straight, as he continues to thrive in the absence of Ja Morant due to continued personal time away from the team.

Posts double-double sans Morant Jones ended with 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 win over the Warriors.

Impact Jones continues to excel with Ja Morant (suspension) away from the team. He's averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 steals with 51/47/89 shooting splits over his past three appearances (all starts), and despite increased usage, Jones has turned the ball over only three times, though all three of those came during Thursday's win.

Superb in relief Jones logged 25 points (9-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and five steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 135-129 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Jones submitted a stellar double-double, lessening the sting of Ja Morant's (suspension) absence. There's no clear timetable for Morant's return, so Jones should be considered a streaming starter for the coming week in all formats.

Starting Sunday Jones is starting Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Jones came off the bench in his last nine appearances, but his presence in Sunday's starting lineup isn't very surprising since Ja Morant is suspended for at least two games. Jones has averaged 18.8 points, 7.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 33.1 minutes per game over nine starts this year, and he'll likely continue to start as long as Morant is away from the team.

Scores 17 points off bench Jones ended Saturday's 112-94 win over Denver with 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes.

Impact Jones had a strong showing off the bench and scored in double digits for the first time since Jan. 29, clearing the 15-point plateau for the first time since Jan. 20 as well. Jones can deliver solid performances from time to time, but the fact that he plays backup to one of the best point guards in the league limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Minimal impact off bench Jones had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Jones played 34 minutes in a start against the Raptors on Feb. 5 but has returned to the bench over his four appearances since then and hasn't had much of an impact as a reserve. He's been held scoreless in two of his last four outings and has averaged 2.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over that stretch. As long as the Grizzlies' backcourt is at full strength, Jones doesn't have much fantasy relevance.
