Herbert Jones On Track To Return Tuesday
9 months agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Brooklyn, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Jones was injured against the Clippers on Friday and couldn't play the following day versus Portland due to a lower back and hip contusion. Trey Murphy III filled in for him as a starter. Jones is a guy who provides a little bit of everything to fantasy managers, but he's been off his game offensively this month, averaging only 7.3 points while his season average stands at 11.0. Murphy III, on the other hand, is having a great month on the attacking front, posting 20.7 points per game, and he will still have plenty of fantasy value, as the 23-year-old gets a nice chunk of minutes despite his bench role in New Orleans.
