Hits for double-double in win
Jones posted 20 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and 12 assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 victory over the Pelicans.
Analysis
Jones' usage will be extremely high while Josh Giddey (hamstring) is out, and he started off the assignment with a bang. Jones was perfect from the floor and got the ball to other players effectively with a season-high 12 assists. His 20 points also matched his best scoring total of the 2024-25 campaign.

Enters starting lineup
Jones will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Josh Giddey (hamstring) is expected to miss a couple of weeks, and Coby White (calf) will miss at least one week. Jones is likely to see an increase in usage and minutes in the short term. Through 26 appearances this season, Jones has averaged 12.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

Decent outing off bench
Jones posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 136-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
With Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) both departing Monday, it's possible the Bulls are going to need some reinforcements in the backcourt. Jones has maintained fantasy relevance in a bench role, having averaged 10.1 points, 5.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per contest across his last nine games.
