Clippers' Derrick Jones: Sets new season-high scoring mark

Jones finished with 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 victory over the Trail Blazers.Jones was efficient from the floor and was one of four starters and six overall players who scored in double digits for the Los Angeles Clippers in this comfortable win. Jones might have some decent fantasy upside as a streaming option, but only if he stays in the starting lineup. That doesn't seem to be a foregone conclusion yet.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Hurts hand, but should be fine
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said after Monday's 109-98 win over the Heat that Jones was available to return to the contest after tending to a hand issue in the second half and will be fine moving forward, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.Jones tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes before exiting with 10:20 remaining in the fourth quarter and heading to the locker room to get his hand checked. Though he went unused for the rest of the contest, Lue relayed that Jones isn't dealing with anything concerning and should be good to go for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn. The 27-year-old will likely remain with the second unit moving forward, though he could find himself in the starting lineup if Kawhi Leonard is given the night off Wednesday during the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Ceding starting spot to Leonard
Jones is not in the Los Angeles Clippers' starting lineup against the Hawks on Saturday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.Jones has started in all 32 games he's played in this season and is averaging a career-high 9.8 points per game across 24.7 minutes. However, he will come off the bench Saturday due to the return of Kawhi Leonard (knee), while Kris Dunn remains in the Clippers' starting five. Per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com, Leonard will be operating on a minutes restriction, so Jones should still see a good amount of playing time in a reserve role.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Notches steal and block in return
Jones (hamstring) tallied eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block across 20 minutes in Thursday's 118-95 win over the Mavericks.Jones returned to the fold after a two-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. He took back his spot in the starting five from Amir Coffey but was eased back in with a lighter role than usual, as Jones saw about five fewer minutes than his season-long average (24.8). While Jones looks poised to stick on the top unit for the time being, he could be at risk of moving to the bench when Kawhi Leonard (knee) is cleared to make his season debut, which could happen as soon as next week.
