James Jones (Miami Heat) has benefited the most from the absence of Mike Miller, who had thumb surgery and is out until January.
After struggling with open looks against Boston in the season opener, James has been effective the past two games.
He was 9-of-14 on 3-pointers against the 76ers and Magic.
“I’m just doing what they brought me here to do and what I’ve done my entire career, which is shoot the ball,” Jones said.
“I look at it as I’m an NBA player, I’m a skilled player and I just have to be ready capitalize and I have to take advantages of the opportunities that I’m given.”
