Jones did not play in Friday’s loss to the Hawks, with Hunter Tyson being tabbed to fill the void in the starting lineup. If Jones remains out and the Nuggets decide to keep Aaron Gordon in a reserve role, Tyson should get another start on Sunday.

Like Jamal Murray (ankle, illness), Jones’ status was downgraded on two separate occasions ahead of Friday’s game. His absence may result in Bruce Brown starting, but Aaron Gordon is another possibility. However, Gordon’s minutes restriction would likely need to be relaxed for that to happen.

Jones was initially listed as questionable but is now expected to be sidelined against Atlanta. Bruce Brown started the second half in place of Jones and would likely take on a larger role in his absence, though Aaron Gordon could end up returning to the starting lineup.

Jones was a late addition to the injury report, but the illness won’t keep him sidelined. He’ll remain in the starting lineup, though he’ll likely play a smaller role with Aaron Gordon available.

Jones is a late addition to the injury report, but this illness isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. Jones has been a consistent starter lately, but his role in this game will depend on how many minutes Aaron Gordon (hamstring) plays in his second game back.

While Braun and Aaron Gordon are available after lengthy absences due to injury, only the former will be in the starting lineup. Jones will continue to start at the four, which may be a sign that Gordon’s minutes restriction is tighter than Braun’s.

Jones left Wednesday’s game against the Pacers with right knee soreness, but is available for Friday’s game against the Hawks. The 24-year-old power forward should continue to provide solid streaming value with Aaron Gordon still sidelined.

Jones was forced to exit Wednesday’s win over the Pacers with a sore right knee. Due to Aaron Gordon’s absence, the second-year forward has been in the starting lineup, providing solid streaming value. If Jones can’t play on Friday, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown have the most to gain regarding playing time. Zeke Nnaji could also pick up a few more minutes, but Hardaway and Brown are the players to consider adding.

One game removed from scoring a career-high 28 points, Jones was limited to 17 minutes before exiting Wednesday’s contest with a sore right knee. With Aaron Gordon already out, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown took on more prominent roles within the Nuggets’ rotation after Jones’ exit. That will be the case if he can’t play on Friday against the Hawks.

Jones bested his career-high 16-point performance against the Suns by scoring over 20 points for the first time on Monday. Efficient shooting throughout and high production from beyond the arc nearly led the second-year forward to the 30-point mark. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out, Jones has seen more action than previously. He’ll likely remain in the starting unit for the time being, which should make him a potential streaming option for fantasy managers who may value three-point production.

Jones started for the fourth straight game, but he was unproductive in the first three. However, he set career highs for points, rebounds and three-pointers to help Denver bounce back from a loss 24 hours prior. Jones should continue to start, but this type of performance likely won’t happen often. It was nice to see him play well, but he should be left on the waiver wire.

Filling the void left by the injured Aaron Gordon, Jones played 24 minutes on Saturday. As evidenced by the stat line, the counting stats and percentages weren’t good enough to justify streaming him. Bruce Brown (2/3/3 in 27 minutes) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (8/1/1 with one three-pointer in 26 minutes) offer higher fantasy ceilings than Jones despite coming off the bench, but both struggled against the Kings. And with the Nuggets playing three games in Week 6, there’s even less reason to trust any of these players in fantasy leagues.

The Nuggets lost Aaron Gordon to a strained hamstring during Friday’s win over the Rockets, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Jones, who started the third quarter in Houston, will remain with the starters to begin Saturday’s game. While he’s worth picking up in 30-deep leagues, managers in shallower formats can afford to take a conservative approach to adding Jones.

Jones is on a two-way contract, and the moves made by the Nuggets this offseason likely limit his opportunities to change that. However, the Nuggets had to be pleased with his performance on Saturday, as Jones shot 66.7 percent from the field and grabbed six rebounds. There’s no need to consider Jones for fantasy leagues, but injuries can present opportunities throughout the season.
