Derrick Jones expected to draw another start Friday for Miami
The South Florida Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reports that Miami Heat guard/forward Derrick Jones will "probably" draw a second straight start in place of Tyler Johnson (ankle).
What It Means:
On Wednesday, Jones played 22 minutes in a start and finished with five points, one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal. He isn't the most productive player and Wayne Ellington should continue to benefit most from the absences of Johnson and Dion Waiters (ankle).
In Friday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, Jones is projected to produce 14.9 FanDuel points in 20.2 minutes of work. He's at $3,500 from the small forward spot.
