Availability
Derrick Jones Jr. scored 19 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, two steals and one block in the Clippers 110-93 win over the Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
One night after dropping 29 points, Jones posted another efficient scoring performance. He also finished just one assist shy of a full stat line. Jones is still tough to trust season-long, but he can be a player to monitor on nights where the Clippers are without a starter or two.
Derrick Jones Jr. delivered a stellar showing in Wednesday’s 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics, recording 29 points (12-of-20 FG, 4-of-6 3PT, 1-of-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in 44 minutes.
Fantasy Impact
With multiple Clippers stars sidelined, Jones seized the opportunity, leading the team in scoring while delivering a balanced stat line. His efficiency on 60% shooting, including four three-pointers, highlights his ability to thrive in an expanded role. Jones set a season-high in points and matched his best marks in assists, steals, and triples. Despite his inconsistent production this season, he could offer value in deep leagues, especially with the Clippers navigating a tight schedule. Fantasy managers in need of short-term upside should monitor Jones closely.
Derrick Jones Jr. contributed on the boards for the Clippers. Jones Jr. grabbed 6 rebounds and added 6 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and an assist in 23 minutes of play.
Fantasy Impact
Jones Jr.'s rebounding and efficient scoring were a bright spot for the Clippers, who struggled offensively. While his overall fantasy impact was limited, his performance could be of interest to managers in very deep leagues who need rebounds and some supplemental scoring. Keep an eye on Jones Jr. if he continues to see increased minutes.

Fantasy Impact
Jones has been out for two-straight games thanks to a hamstring injury, and he may miss Thursday's game for the same reason. He's questionable right now, and a decision regarding his status is expected closer to tip-off. Nicolas Batum will see increased run if Jones is out against Dallas.
Derrick Jones Jr. left Sunday's game early against the Rockets due to a right hamstring soreness.
Fantasy Impact
Jones suffered the injury in the second quarter. If he misses extended time, Nic Batum would likely take on some extended minutes with the second unit.
