Jones racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Although Jones' results have been poor as Orlando's replacement floor general, he came through with a season-high seven assists and was effective in the narrow win. His 16 points were only the second time he's logged a double-digit scoring total this season. He may have a few more starts in his future, as it's unclear when Jalen Suggs (hip) will be able to play again, but Jones will likely fail to register a fantasy-worthy total consistently.
