Cavaliers' Richard Jefferson: Will rejoin starting five Monday

Jefferson will rejoin the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Heat, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Jefferson has drawn eight previous starts this season, posting averages of 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 27.6 minutes during those contests. That doesn't leave much to be desired in terms of his fantasy value, so despite heading back to the top unit for the ninth time this season, it may be wise to look elsewhere in DFS lineups Monday. With Jefferson back in the starting lineup and Kyrie Irving and LeBron James returning from a night off for rest, look for the likes of Deron Williams, James Jones and Kyle Korver to move back to the bench.
