Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Rough shooting continues
Rotowire
Jones registered eight points (3-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings.
With Jordan Poole totally phased out of the New Orleans rotation, Jones seems to be locked in as the top shooting guard the rest of the way. Jones still appears to be knocking off some rust after missing extended time with an ankle sprain in January. Over his last nine outings, Jones has averaged 7.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.5 minutes per game while shooting a poor 24.4 percent from deep.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Hits season-high four treys in loss
Rotowire
Jones accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.
Jones cashed in a season-high four triples Monday after failing to eclipse more than one in a game since returning from his ankle injury. While he has not shot the ball well from beyond the arc recently, converting just 18.2 percent of his three-point attempts in the five games prior, Jones' performance Monday can be an encouraging sign that he may be getting back on track in terms of his efficiency.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Brings defense, assists in return
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 25 minutes in Friday's 133-127 win over the Grizzlies.
With Jones making his return from an eight-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, the Pelicans opted to include him as part of a starting unit that lacked a true point guard while Jeremiah Fears moved to the bench. Jones ended up taking on some extra playmaking responsibilities as a result and netted a season-high assist total, and his output in that category plus strong defensive numbers helped offset the lack of scoring production. Assuming his ankle presented no complications during Friday's contest, Jones could see his minutes pick up slightly in the Pelicans' next game Sunday in San Antonio.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Available Friday
Rotowire
Jones (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Memphis.
Jones will shake off his questionable tag and return from an eight-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 27-year-old forward has appeared in just one game since Dec. 23, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Micah Peavy, Bryce McGowens and Jordan Hawkins.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Uncertain for Wednesday
Rotowire
Interim head coach James Borrego said after Tuesday's 111-103 loss to the Lakers that Jones is uncertain for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to right ankle injury management, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. He finished Tuesday's contest with three points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes.
Jones returned from a seven-game absence due to a sprained right ankle Tuesday and showed some signs of rust, struggling to find his rhythm on the offensive end. It's encouraging that the 27-year-old forward didn't operate under a minutes restriction during his return, though he should be considered questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set until New Orleans offers an update on his status.
