Suns' Derrick Jones: Will start Thursday

Jones will start at small forward for Thursday's game against the Nets, Doug Haller of The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

With T.J. Warren (foot) out Thursday, coach Earl Watson will move his top backup, Jones, into the starting five. Along with Warren, the Suns are missing several other key contributors and may only dress nine players, so Jones could be on tap for a 30-plus minute role. His DFS upside remains fairly limited, however, as he's been a meager per-minute contributor with averages of 4.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game since the All-Star break.
