Pacers' Al Jefferson: Solid off bench in Pacers debut

Jefferson provided 14 points (7-12 FG) and five rebounds across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 113-96 preseason victory over the Pelicans.

Analysis:

The veteran big man will begin the season behind Myles Turner on the depth chart, but should offer the Pacers some instant scoring off the bench from the frontcourt. If Turner misses time this season due to injury, Jefferson would likely enter the starting five and represent an attractive DFS option, but his season-long fantasy value will be restricted if he ends up seeing only 18-to-25 minutes per game with the second unit.
