Jones had nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and two rebounds in 10 minutes in the win over Chicago on Thursday.
Jones had been scoreless in his two previous games, but was able to sink his perimeter shots in the series finale. He should continue to get moderate playing time in the Eastern Conference finals, and get a few 3-pointers.

Jones did not take a shot in seven minutes in the win over Chicago on Tuesday. He had four fouls.
Jones continues to get a little playing time in each game, which speaks more to the decrepitude of Shawn Marion and Mike Miller than Jones' aptitude. He could still be good for a 3-pointer or two.
Sun May 10 201522:25Jones played 10 scoreless minutes (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in win over ...
Jones played 10 scoreless minutes (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in the win over Chicago on Sunday.
Jones had bumped up for 25 combined points in his two previous games against the Bulls. He makes for an interesting, low-cost DFS play since he has the green light to take 3-pointers.

Jones scored eight points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 15 minutes in the loss to the Bulls on Friday.

Jones played 22 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's victory over the Bulls, posting 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt) and two rebounds.
Jones surpassed the 20 minute mark for just the second time during the 2015 NBA playoffs Wednesday, as he received extended minutes with J.R. Smith (suspension) still sidelined. He made the extra time count though, shooting 60 percent from the field and 56 percent from the three-point line. Jones drew praise from teammate LeBron James following the game, but with Smith set to return for Friday's game three, Jones' minutes will likely take a hit.

Jones missed his two 3-point attempts in eight minutes in the Monday loss to Chicago. He added two boards.
Jones received some playing time because Cleveland was playing without J.R. Smith (suspension). He has missed his last nine 3-point attempts in the playoffs, and doesn't offer much fantasy value beyond the perimeter.

Jones played four scoreless minutes (0-1 FG) with two rebounds in the win over Boston on Thursday.

Jones scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with four rebounds in 26 minutes in the loss to Boston on Sunday.
Jones received extended playing time with the Cavaliers resting the majority of their starters. He equaled his season high (set on Mar. 4 in a win over the Raptors) and could continue to get decent playing time as LeBron James and friends rest.

Jones started Tuesday's game with Kevin Love (back) out, but only scored six points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and picked up five personal fouls in 23 minutes.
Jones started at small forward while LeBron James moved over to power forward for the night. Jones certainly didn't do much with the opportunity, though. In his only other start this season, Jones had six points and one assist in 30 minutes.
Thu Apr 2 201520:02Jones will start Thursday's game against Heat
Jones will start Thursday's game against the Heat, the Miami Herald reports.
Because the Heat are ailing in the frontcourt -- Udonis Haslem (illness) is out, while Hassan Whiteside continues to recover from a hand laceration -- they're trotting out a starting frontcourt of Whiteside and Henry Walker. Thus, the Cavaliers will counter with a slighter lineup featuring LeBron James at the four and Jones at small forward. In his sole nod this season, Jones recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and one assist in 30 minutes on Feb. 27 against the Pacers.
Fri Mar 6 201516:13Jones scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with one ...
Jones scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with one rebound and zero assists in 21 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
Jones has seen his role increase in the past four games, averaging 20 minutes per game. With Shawn Marion (hip) out of the rotation and Iman Shumpert struggling as of late, Jones has filled in nicely as a 3 point specialist off the bench. While Jones' ceiling is clearly limited playing behind Cleveland's stars, he could be a good plug-in for fantasy purposes.
Fri Feb 27 201522:42Jones started Friday against Pacers
Jones started Friday against the Pacers. He scored six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and added one assist in 30 minutes.
Jones made little impact on the box score, despite a heavy helping of playing time. Even if LeBron James (back) misses more time, it's hard to count on Jones in almost any format.
Fri Feb 27 201518:46Jones will start in Friday's game against Pacers
Jones will start in Friday's game against the Pacers, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
LeBron James is sidelined with back soreness which is allowing Jones to have the rare start Friday. However, this bump in value will likely be short lived as James isn't expected to be sidelined for a significant amount of time.

Jones played 19 minutes in the Friday loss to Golden State, but failed to hit a field goal (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT).
Jones has been getting more playing time while LeBron James (back/knee) has been out. Unfortunately, the veteran 3-point specialist has not been doing much with that playing time. He has hit six 3-pointers in his last four games.

Jones did not play in the Cavs' win over Milwaukee on Tuesday.
