Tyus Jones News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Gets back on track Jones contributed 13 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-109 loss to Golden State.

Impact Jones made the most of his opportunities on the offensive end, and he attempted a season-high six shots from the charity stripe. He also managed to score in double figures after failing to do so in his last two matchups heading into Sunday's clash. Jones is averaging 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists over his last five games.

Falls flat in loss Jones closed with five points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Jones missed all three of his shots from beyond the arc and failed to extend his double-digit scoring streak to five games. The backup point guard is a viable streaming option on certain nights, but his overall production has been too sporadic to trust on a nightly basis. As a starter (five games), Jones has averaged 20.6 points, 8.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 32.8 minutes, but as a reserve (25 appearances), he's posted just 8.7 points, 3.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 22.4 minutes.

Impact Jones broke out for a game-high 22 points, scoring 12 of those points from beyond the arc with a season-best four triples. The Duke product managed to fill in amicably for Ja Morant (thigh), and he's now scored 20-plus points in two of his last four matchups.

Erupts for season-high 28 points Jones notched 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 101-93 victory over the Heat.

Impact Jones moved into the starting lineup Monday, doing his best Ja Morant (ankle) impression in what was a season-best performance. While jones was likely streamed across a number of formats, it would certainly not have been because of expected points production. He came to the party in more ways than one, delivering not only double-digit assists but also a season-high 28 points. Morant's injury doesn't sound as though it is going to cost him significant time, meaning Jones is likely headed back to the wire despite this effort.

Jones' career-high 28 points lead Grizzlies past Heat 101-93

Tyus Jones had a career-high 28 points and 10 assists to lead the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies a 101-93 victory over Miami Heat

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • Associated Press

Starting at point guard Jones will start Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Jones will draw a spot start with Ja Morant (ankle) listed out for Monday's clash. Jones has scored in double figures in each of his last two starts, which date back to Nov. 20 and Nov. 13.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Jones had 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones had been held to single digits in the scoring column in his last three games leading up to Wednesday's clash, but he was able to break out of his slump by shooting efficiently from the field and from deep. He also secured a season-high six rebounds. It's worth noting that Jones logged 30 minutes for the first time since Nov. 20, when he played 34 minutes in Brooklyn.

Returns to bench Jones isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Jones will move back to the bench as Ja Morant will return to the starting lineup after missing Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Jones will likely move back to his backup point guard role.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Serviceable in starting role Jones racked up 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Jones shifted into the starting lineup as a result of an ankle injury to Ja Morant, doing just enough to keep managers happy. As we have seen in the past, Jones becomes a must-add player whenever Morant is sidelined. He should be a steady source of assists and steals, with a few points thrown in for good measure. Make sure he isn't somehow available in your league.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In line to start with Morant out Jones is expected to take over as the starting point for the Grizzlies during the absence of Ja Morant (ankle), who will be re-evaluated weekly.

Impact Jones is essentially a must-roster player in 12-team fantasy formats for as long as Morant is shelved. He's played well as a starter this year, and in 23 starts last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 6.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.2 minutes. Desmond Bane (toe) is also out for at least another week-plus, which should force more usage Jones' way.

NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could replace injured Morant Jones finished Friday's 121-110 win over the Thunder with 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block across 23 minutes.

Impact Jones' line was solid enough, but he could have the opportunity to turn in even more fantasy-friendly performances if the ankle injury Ja Morant suffered late in Friday's game forces him to miss time. The Grizzlies won't have an official update on Morant until evaluating him Saturday, but fantasy managers looking for a boost in the assists category in particular may want to take an early flier on Jones.

Starting Sunday Jones will start Sunday's matchup against Washington in the absence of Ja Morant (ankle), Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Impact Jones will draw his second start of the campaign with Morant sidelined. In his last start (Oct. 29 loss to Utah), Jones notched season highs in points (23), assists (10) and minutes (33).

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches double figures off bench Jones recorded 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 overtime win over San Antonio.

Impact Jones led all Memphis bench players in scoring while surpassing the double-digit mark in just 20 minutes. Jones has scored 10 or more points eight times this season, recording his first such game since Nov. 4 against Charlotte.
