Jefferson has averaged just 7.4 points over the stretch of Utah's past five games.

Analysis:

The Jazz played a total of five games in seven days and the effects of the grueling week were evident in Jefferson's production. Coach Ty Corbin may soon shift gears and focus on the future by letting his younger players take the court in place of Jefferson. Until that happens, the 33-year-old will likely continue to average 26.7 minutes per game.
