Jones chipped in 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 129-114 loss to San Antonio.
Jones has been playing at a high level in recent weeks, and this was the third game in which he scored at least 20 points over his past six appearances. Furthermore, the veteran floor general has scored in double digits in all but one of his outings since the beginning of March, and he's thriving in a bigger role offensively while playing alongside Josh Giddey in the Bulls' backcourt.

Rotowire
Jones racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 132-107 win over Memphis.
With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both out for at least one more week, Jones remains worth rostering in the majority of fantasy formats.

With Josh Giddey (ankle) and Matas Buzelis (ankle) sidelined, Jones was effective as a scorer in this one, turning in his best night on the boards since Jan. 20. He continues to look more comfortable while playing a key role in the Chicago rotation, as he's averaging 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists over his last four games.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Fares well in loss
Rotowire
Jones finished Thursday's 110-101 loss to the Raptors with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and one block in 22 minutes.
Jones returned from an 11-game absence due to a strained left hamstring, and he was given a sizable role with the second unit. Notably, Jaden Ivey was pushed completely out of the rotation with Josh Giddey also back in the mix. With so much competition in the backcourt, Jones' value may be limited to deeper leagues.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Expected to play
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors.
After initially being listed with a questionable tag, Jones is on track to return from an 11-game absence. With that in mind, it's likely that he faces restrictions in his first game back. It will be interesting to see how the backcourt rotation shapes up with Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons all vying for minutes.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.
Jones is trying to avoid missing a 12th consecutive contest due to a strained left hamstring. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also iffy for Thursday, Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey and Collin Sexton may still be needed to handle the bulk of the playmaking duties.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Officially out
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Jones will miss an 11th straight game due to a strained left hamstring, but the guard will have the full All-Star break to rest and recover before Chicago's next game, which will come Feb. 19 against Toronto. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined Wednesday, look for Chicago to lean on the quartet of Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham in the backcourt.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Jones is out for Monday's game against the Nets with a strained left hamstring.
It's becoming more likely that Jones won't suit up for the Bulls until after the All-Star break. However, his last chance to return before the break and end a 10-game absence comes Wednesday in Boston. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton should continue to run the Chicago backcourt in the interim.

Rotowire
Jones is out for Saturday's game against Denver with a strained left hamstring.
Jones is running his absence up to nine games Saturday. Monday's matchup in Brooklyn marks his next chance to play. With the Bulls' backcourt still jumbled in the aftermath of a hectic trade deadline, Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey may be needed to handle the bulk of the playmaking duties until the dust settles.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Jones is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to a hamstring strain. He was deemed available for Chicago's previous contest in Milwaukee on Tuesday but never saw the court. With the Bulls active at the trade deadline and their new additions unlikely to play heavy minutes Thursday, Yuki Kawamura could see an expanded role in Toronto due to Jones' absence.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game in Toronto.
While Jones was technically made available for Tuesday's loss to the Bucks, he didn't actually play, and it looks like he could return to the inactive list for Thursday's game. Jones has had some nice moments in Chicago this season, but with the additions of Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons, it could be tough for Jones to find meaningful minutes in the rotation when the team is at full strength.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Available, not expected to play
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) will dress for Tuesday's game against the Bucks but is not expected to play, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Jones has missed Chicago's last six games due to a left hamstring strain and will presumably serve as emergency depth Tuesday with Chicago extremely shorthanded. If the 26-year-old guard doesn't see the floor against Milwaukee, his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Raptors.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Questionable Tuesday
Rotowire
Jones is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a left hamstring strain.
It sounds like Jones is ahead of schedule in his recovery and has a chance to end a six-game absence Tuesday. That said, the guard could have a minutes restriction if he's ultimately cleared to play.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Heat.
No surprise here, as the expectation is that Jones will miss multiple games for the Bulls. He was initially given a two-week timetable but showed up on the last injury report as doubtful, suggesting he's day-to-day. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter will likely see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
The Bulls anticipated that Jones would be out for two weeks with a left hamstring strain as of this past Friday, but the team ended up listing him as doubtful ahead of Monday's loss to the Lakers. With Jones sidelined, Isaac Okoro and Kevin Huerter should see some extra burn Wednesday. Jones can be deemed doubtful for Thursday's tilt against the Heat.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
It was reported Friday that Jones would be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a left hamstring strain, though he was upgraded to doubtful for Monday's contest. Still, he'll remain sidelined for a second consecutive game at the very least. He should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Indiana until Chicago offers an update on his status. With Jones unavailable, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Bulls' Tre Jones: Considered doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Jones (hamstring) is doubtful to play Monday against the Lakers.
Jones was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain over the weekend and was set to be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, he appears to have healed quickly, and while it's still unlikely he'll play on Monday, the backup point guard should be considered day-to-day moving forward. Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter are candidates to inherit Jones' minutes in the meantime.
