What changed

Last season (2025-26)
Above-the-break 3 share+12 ptsProbably real

Jones's above-the-break 3 share is up 12 points over his last 25 games of the season (42% vs 31%). The likely reason: Dejounte Murray joined the rotation on Feb 24 and played 27.9 MPG. Also a teammate's absence: Jordan Poole (25 MPG before) played only 9 of 25 games. Probably real: about 65% should hold.
