Jones closed Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz with three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes.
Although he continues to start, Jones has been pretty underwhelming in terms of fantasy appeal. Over his last five games, he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.9 minutes per contest.
Jones closed Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 41 minutes.
It's the first time in Jones' brief NBA career that he's recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The second-year forward has started 10 straight games with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in street clothes, and over that stretch, Jones is averaging 8.2 points, 3.9 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 25.6 minutes a contest while shooting a surprising 56.4 percent from the floor and 44.8 percent (13-for-29) from beyond the arc.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Sets career high in loss
Rotowire
Jones finished Monday's 131-121 loss to the Mavericks with 28 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 39 minutes.
After scoring 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting in Saturday's win over Phoenix, Jones set a new career-high mark in points on extremely efficient shooting Monday. The 24-year-old has started five consecutive games and should continue to see meaningful run with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) sidelined.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Career-best performance
Rotowire
Jones totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes during Saturday's 130-112 victory over the Suns.
Jones fell one rebound short of his first career double-double, although he did manage to put up career-high numbers in both points and rebounds. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, the fact that he had scored a total of 13 points in his previous six games should ensure managers are hesitant when it comes to adding him in standard leagues.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Does little in spot start
Rotowire
Jones amassed one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 24 minutes during Saturday's 128-123 loss to the Kings.
Jones filled in for Aaron Gordon (hamstring), but he produced disappointing numbers in the loss. Gordon will likely be out through Thanksgiving, and the Nuggets will need to dig deeper to find a suitable alternative if Jones continues to struggle. The Nuggets could put Tim Hardaway or Bruce Brown into the starting lineup and slide Peyton Watson into the four spot, but Jones may get another try before a big change happens.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Making first career start
Rotowire
Jones is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Kings on Saturday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Jones will start Saturday for the first time in his NBA career due to the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring). Jones has seen more playing time of late and has averaged 14.6 minutes per game over his last five outings. He's averaged just 1.6 points over that span, so he shouldn't produce much from a fantasy perspective.

Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Fails to score again Saturday
Rotowire
Jones registered zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across three minutes during Saturday's 123-100 loss to the Lakers.
Jones played three minutes during garbage time, a trend that has been consistent all season. At this stage, he is only being afforded playing time in blowouts, meaning there is no scope for him to step into a larger role any time soon.

Rotowire
