Terrence Jones thrives in spot-start as Pelicans beat Brooklyn
New Orleans Pelicans power forward Terrence Jones drew a start with Anthony Davis (hip) out on Thursday, and racked up 24 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 38 minutes of action as the Pelicans beat the Brooklyn Nets 104-95.
Jones has played well in limited time as a starter this season, averaging 19.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 32.5 minutes per game. Davis was a game-time decision last night though, so he will likely be back in the lineup soon, sending Jones back to the bench.
Jones finished third among Pelicans players with a 15.3 nERD in Thursday's win, per numberFire Live, though he has a much less impressive -0.8 nERD on the season -- ranking him only 308th in the NBA.
