Cavaliers' Richard Jefferson: Doesn't impress in spot start Tuesday

Jefferson started at shooting guard and finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 121-117 win over the Raptors.

Analysis:

Jefferson has seen 26 minutes in both of the last two games with J.R. Smith (ankle) sidelined, but has tallied a combined seven points while playing a supporting role behind the likes of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. With Smith on track to return as soon as Wednesday against the Pacers, Jefferson should see his role dwindle before long.
