• Suns' Tyus Jones: Logs 19 points in defeat

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Jones amassed 19 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 133-125 loss to the Pistons. Jones posted his third-best scoring total of the season, and Devin Booker's (groin) absence was a likely reason for the jump in production. The veteran guard plays second fiddle to Booker, but Jones has managed to carve a decent role during his first year in Phoenix. He's on pace to beat his career-high season average of 29.3 minutes per game by a wide margin and is also posting career numbers in field-goal conversion. The Duke product is currently finding the bottom of the basket at a 49.8 percent clip and converting 44.1 percent of his three-point attempts through 27 games.

• Suns' Tyus Jones: Nearly perfect from field Sunday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones produced 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 win over the Trail Blazers. Jones has been remarkably consistent for the Suns over the last few weeks despite holding a secondary role on offense behind the star trio of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal (knee). The veteran floor general has scored in double digits in eight games in a row and has eclipsed the 15-point plateau five times in that stretch. He's also averaging 7.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds per contest in that eight-game stretch, so he's doing more than just scoring at an efficient rate (59.5 percent from the floor, 58.7 percent from three in those eight appearances).

• Suns' Tyus Jones: Double-double in Friday's win

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones logged 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 134-126 win over the Jazz. It's the fourth double-double of the season for the point guard, and all of them have come in the last 11 games. Over that stretch, Jones is averaging 15.0 points, 7.9 assists, 2.9 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.5 steals while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor, 49.2 percent from long distance and 90.0 percent from the charity stripe.

• Suns' Tyus Jones: Nails five triples in defeat

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones contributed 21 points (7-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and six assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Magic. With his 21-point showing Sunday, Jones fell one point shy of his season-high scoring mark set during a Nov. 10 loss to the Kings. He's now hit double-digit scoring figures in nine of his last 10 contests, a span in which Jones is averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game. The veteran floor general should remain a solid source of points, dimes, triples and steals with strong shooting splits for fantasy managers as a facilitator for the likes of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in Phoenix's starting lineup, and he'll continue to experience an uptick in usage while Kevin Durant (ankle) sits on the shelf.

• Suns' Tyus Jones: Sniffs double-double

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and nine assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-105 victory over the Warriors. Jones had an impressive performance Saturday, and he's been playing at a high level of late. The 10-year veteran has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances while also dishing out nine or more dimes four times in that span. He's exceeded expectations this season, and he's rewarding fantasy managers who trusted in him in standard formats, as he's managed to remain in a starting role while enjoying a decent usage rate considering he often shares the floor with ball-dominant players such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal (calf).
