  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones chipped in 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 134-128 loss to Oklahoma City. Jones produced a bounce-back game after scoring only four points and shooting 1-for-5 from the field in Saturday's win over Toronto. The 27-year-old has reached the double-digit mark in scoring in seven of 11 regular-season outings, though his 20 points Monday marks a new season high. Jones has averaged 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 45.2 percent from beyond the arc across 27.1 minutes per game thus far.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones added 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a block over 22 minutes in Monday's 113-104 win against San Antonio. Jones has been very involved in the Clippers offense, attempting at least six shots in every game so far. He is averaging 10.1 points and 27.4 minutes this season, both of which would be career highs, and while his efficiency has dipped following his first three games, his willingness to shoot allows for big scoring potential moving forward.

• Clippers' Derrick Jones: Efficient in win Sunday

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones finished Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Warriors with 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes. Jones showed an efficient touch from the floor Sunday and missed just three of his 10 shots en route to his best scoring output of the current campaign. The efficiency has been remarkable for the nine-year veteran, and even though he's bound to regress sooner than later, his percentages are eye-popping right now. Through three outings, Jones is shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 60 percent from three-point range while averaging 13.0 points per contest.

  Jones (rest) is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Jones missed the club's final preseason game due to rest purposes, though he is expected to be 100 percent for the Clippers' Opening Night. The 27-year-old will likely draw the start with Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out. Jones is coming off a productive season with the Mavericks, and he should play a prominent role with the Clippers.
