Herbert Jones Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will end a seven-game absence on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He makes a timely return, with Saddiq Bey (hip) out for a third consecutive game. Jones has posted 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game across 28.0 minutes this season. His scoring has declined from previous years due to lower shooting efficiency. Jones' return will affect Karlo Matkovic's role in the rotation.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for a seventh straight game Sunday against Miami due to a right ankle sprain. With Jones and Saddiq Bey (hip) both sidelined, New Orleans continues to test its wing depth, though fantasy results have been underwhelming. Over the last six games, Bryce McGowens has averaged 5.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 20.0 minutes, while Jordan Hawkins has posted 2.8 points in 11.4 minutes. Micah Peavy has chipped in 2.7 points in 12.2 minutes. All three remain risky, deep-league-only options. Jones' next chance to return comes Tuesday against the Lakers.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his sixth straight absence with a right ankle sprain. His next chance to return comes Sunday against Miami. Jones' continued absence has not produced reliable fantasy value from the supporting cast. Jordan Hawkins has averaged just 10.4 minutes and 3.4 points over his last five, while rookie Micah Peavy has logged 9.9 minutes and 2.8 points. Saddiq Bey (hip), who posted 16 points Wednesday, carries the most stable role if cleared, while the rest remain fringe deep-league options.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will remain sidelined for Friday's matchup against Phoenix, marking a second straight absence due to a right ankle sprain. Jones was unavailable in the previous game, keeping New Orleans short on its usual perimeter defense. If Jones is held out again, Bryce McGowens would likely continue starting on the wing after logging 31 minutes with eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, and three steals last time out. Trey Murphy III and Saddiq Bey should continue in their usual roles, leaving McGowens as a fringe option tied primarily to playing time.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) and forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will be missing from the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are dealing with ankle injuries. Bryce McGowens will take Jones' spot in the starting lineup. As a starter, McGowens has been quite productive this season, averaging 13.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in five games.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (illness) will play on Monday against the Mavericks. He popped up on the injury report because of migraine headaches. However, it won't keep him off the floor. The 27-year-old has averaged only 9.8 points this season. While that kind of production doesn't make him a viable fantasy option in most formats, his presence will be felt on the defensive side of the ball, which could mean below-average contributions from Cooper Flagg (back) and P.J. Washington.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (migraine) may miss Monday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks, as the team considers him questionable for the game. The 27-year-old was hit in the face in a matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday and has been dealing with a migraine since then. Jordan Poole started the second half against Indiana and may remain part of the first unit if Jones is absent on Monday. A starting role would increase Poole's fantasy appeal. He finished Saturday's contest with 16 points, two rebounds, six assists, and one block in 32 minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (head) was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Indiana, finishing with five points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and 12 minutes. Jones has averaged 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.6 steals, and 22 minutes over his last five, so any missed time dents his defensive-category value. Jordan Poole absorbed the direct replacement minutes and additional on-ball reps, making him a short-term streamer for points and assists. Saddiq Bey should see steadier wing minutes with a low-usage profile, while Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic remain deep-league only.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (calf) remains on Monday's injury report ahead of their contest with the San Antonio Spurs. He's dealing with a right calf strain which has kept him out of their last eight games, but he's considered questionable for this one. While Jones, Jordan Poole (quad), and Zion Williamson (adductor) have all been sidelined, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey, and Jeremiah Fears have all been in the starting lineup. Bey and Fears have been the more consistent options for fantasy managers looking for replacements. In their last game against the Nets, Bey registered 18 points, five rebounds, two assists, and two threes while Fears accrued 14 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one turnover.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) is completely healthy as the new season begins. The Pelicans' head of basketball operations, Joe Dumars, confirmed that Jones is back at 100 percent after his 2024-25 season was cut short due to a torn right labrum. Jones has been participating in scrimmages with the team for several weeks, working at full speed. Before landing on the shelf in February, Jones demonstrated impressive two-way quality, averaging 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.9 steals. Jones agreed to a three-year, $68 million contract extension during the offseason, cementing his place among the Pelicans' core.
