Clippers' Derrick Jones: Back with first unit
Jones is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jones came off the bench Wednesday but will slot back in with the first unit Thursday due to the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee). The UNLV product is averaging 13.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in his last 10 opportunities as a starter.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Coming off bench
Jones won't start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jones will come off the bench for the first time since Jan. 13 as the Clippers turn to Kris Dunn in the first unit to counteract the Grizzlies' ball pressure. Jones is averaging 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 25.2 minutes per game this season.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Manages 17 points in defeat
Jones totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 122-97 loss to the Lakers.
Jones has held onto a starting role despite a slightly unreliable scoring floor this season. Jones is most effective when he can siphon some rebounds from Ivica Zubac, but the former was unable to gain much traction in that category during the blowout loss.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Sets new season-high scoring mark
Jones closed Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics with 29 points (12-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 44 minutes.
The Clippers were without several starters, meaning Jones had to embrace a bigger role on offense, but he was impressive doing so. This 29-point effort was his best scoring output of the campaign by a wide margin, as his previous season-high output was 20 points. Jones has started in the Clippers' last five games and has scored in double digits four times in that span.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Solid output Thursday
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 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: Moving to starting role
Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Ty Lue will tweak the starting unit for Wednesday's contest, and Jones will be the biggest beneficiary. He'll return to the first unit after not starting in three of the Clippers' last four contests. Jones is averaging 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game as a starter in 2024-25.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Hurts hand, but should be fine
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: Starting sans Leonard
Jones is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones will get the starting nod in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (personal) on Wednesday. The veteran forward has started 32 games for the Clippers this season, averaging 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes in 24.7 minutes over this period. Jones is worth streaming as a stopgap solution for steals in fantasy leagues Wednesday.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Ceding starting spot to Leonard
Jones is not in the 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: Posts solid line
Jones amassed 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 116-113 victory over New Orleans.
This was a solid all-around performance for Jones as he reached double figures for the third straight game. During that stretch, he's posted averages of 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks. Keep in mind that his usage could take a hit when the Clippers presumably get Kawhi Leonard (knee) back in the near future.

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.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Starting vs. Mavs
Jones (hamstring) will play Thursday night against Dallas, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Jones has missed his squad's last two matchups while on the mend from a right hamstring strain, but has been given the green light to suit up Thursday. He'll rejoin the first unit, though coach Tyronn Lue noted the UNLV product will be on a minutes restriction, per Azarly. He was averaging 10.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his previous 10 appearances before going down with the injury.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Listed as questionable for Thursday
Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Jones was initially expected to be out for around two weeks according to a report from Dec. 10, but the former UNLV standout seems to be recovering more quickly than expected. The questionable tag suggests a decision on Jones' status will be made closer to Thursday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If he can't go, Nicolas Batum would likely remain in the starting lineup.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Out at least two weeks
The Clippers announced Tuesday that Jones has a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones started each of the Clippers' first 25 games, averaging 25.0 minutes a night, so his absence will be a big blow. However, the Clippers also got some positive injury news Tuesday, as James Harden (groin), Mo Bamba (knee), Amir Coffey (shoulder) and Kris Dunn (illness) all logged full practices, while Kawhi Leonard (knee) was a partial participant.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Out with hamstring issue
Jones won't return to Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right hamstring soreness, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. He totaled two points (1-1 FG) and one block over 12 minutes before exiting.
Jones didn't have much of an impact before his departure, and it'll be up to Nicolas Batum and Kai Jones to eat up more minutes in the frontcourt for the rest of the game while the Clippers are without several key players due to injury.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Scores 14 points in loss
Jones finished Wednesday's 108-80 loss to Minnesota with 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
The Clippers struggled badly on offense and mustered only 80 total points, but Jones was one of the few players who managed to score in double digits. Jones has scored in double digits in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 11.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in that stretch. He's not going to stand out as a scorer most of the time, but he'll remain valuable in fantasy as long as he stays in a starting role due to his across-the-board contributions.

Clippers' Derrick Jones: Logs 15 points
Jones produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 127-105 win over the Trail Blazers.
This was Jones' fifth game of the season with at least 15 points. He was ice cold before this performance, as he was held to six or fewer points in three previous outings. He's not the most consistent fantasy option, but he's currently sitting inside the top-150 players in nine-category formats with averages of 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.
