Herbert Jones Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Jones is back in the mix following an eight-game absence due to an ankle sprain. The expectation is that his minutes will be closely monitored, given he hasn't played since January 8. When healthy, Jones is a reliable contributor, so fantasy managers should check their waivers to see if he's available. This season, Jones is averaging 9.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 28.3 minutes per game. He's probably more of a deep league option, but could have more value in the future. Saddiq Bey and Yves Missi could see reduced playing time with Jones returning on Friday.

Bey, working back from injury, logged 12 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes during a win over Brooklyn. His minutes and usage remain stable while Jones sits.

Saddiq Bey returned to the lineup on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets and will help fill the void left by Jones. Additionally, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are playing more significant roles for the team.

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.
