Fantasy Analysis
Jones had played more than 20 minutes in the four games prior to Thursday, and he might see similar minutes the rest of the way as the Heat continue to rest their starters. However, by losing his cool against the Bulls, Jones may have earned a suspension, which could end up costing him or two of the Heats remaining four games. He has no value in any Fantasy leagues right now. (Updated 04/19/2012).
