Tyus Jones hits big shot in Wolves' win over Raptors
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones closed the game at point guard against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, finishing with 5 points, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 3-pointer in 27 minutes.
Jones hit a three-pointer with under 20 seconds remaining to give the Wolves a three-point lead. Jones also closed the Wolves' game on Monday at shooting guard and Tom Thibodeau praised his young combo guard for his team defense after the win. He still doesn't have much fantasy appeal, but Jones is trending in the right direction over his last two games.
Jones is averaging 3.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds over 11.7 minutes per game this season. He owns a .512 effective field goal percentage and a nERD of 0.2, which ranks 139th among all players.
