Terrence Jones Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Henson will miss Friday's game with the Hawks, which will leave the Bucks a little shorthanded in the front-court. Spencer Hawes is likely to pick up minutes in the teens with Henson on the shelf, and it's not out of the realm of possibility for Terrence Jones to enter the rotation. Either way, the Bucks are going to have trouble with Dwight Howard down low given the current state of the front-court, so this news only further increases Howard's upside. Greg Monroe could also seen a slight uptick in playing time, but his playing time tends to be erratic.

According to Bucks head coach Jason Kidd, Jones is unlikely to play in tonight's game against the Toronto Raptors, meaning his Milwaukee debut will be put off for at least one more game. Additionally, Khris Middleton will play and start despite speculation that he could be rested on the second night of a back-to-back set. This is the first time Middleton will play both games in a back-to-back scenario, but he still expected to remain on his normal restriction of 30 minutes in Saturday's contest. Middleton's role also looks to remain unchanged for at least one more game, as the aforementioned Terrence Jones is not expected to make his Bucks debut this evening.

The New Orleans Pelicans will try to add a guard and waive Terrence Jones. With Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins expected to play 35+ minutes, there was no opportunity for Jones to make a significant impact. No other details have been sent out by the team in regards to Jones.

Jones will not play in tonight's game against the Phoenix Suns after previously being listed as questionable on the Pelicans' injury report with a sprained right thumb that has now forced him to miss three consecutive games. With Dante Cunningham also unavailable, Alexis Ajinca will draw the start alongside Anthony Davis but is not a particularly viable option in a game that should go small. The sample size is extremely limited, but in the four games Jones has missed this season, Anthony Davis has significantly outperformed his salary-based expectations in just under 38 minutes per contest. Additionally, Tyreke Evans will play after previously being listed as probable, but he will be limited to just 20 minutes of action this evening. His return to the rotation will likely diminish Tim Frazier's role significantly, if not altogether, and also steal a substantial amount of usage from Jrue Holiday, effectively limiting his projected ceiling to some extent.

Cunningham will miss today's game for the Pelicans due to personal reasons while Jones is considered a game-time decision with a thumb injury. Donatas Motiejunas could see some extra playing time if the Pelicans feel the need to go big against the Suns, especially if Jones sits as well.

Jones and Moore will not play in tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings after previously being listed on the Pelicans' injury report with their respective ailments and designations. Dante Cunningham is expected to remain in the starting lineup at power forward in Jones' place. The sample size is extremely small, but in the three games Jones has missed this season, Anthony Davis has significantly outperformed his salary-based expectations in just under 37 minutes per contest. Additionally, Tyreke Evans has been cleared to play after previously being listed as probable, but he will be limited to just 20 minutes of action this evening. His return to the rotation will likely diminish Tim Frazier's role significantly, if not altogether, and also steal a substantial amount of usage from Jrue Holiday, effectively limiting his projected ceiling to some extent.
