Analysis:

Bismack Biyombo's right knee injury will sideline him through at least next week, affording Jefferson the opportunity to reclaim the starting center job. Despite seeing a reduction in minutes this season, Jefferson still has been a nightly threat for a double-double, averaging 17.4 points and 8.0 rebounds on the season. With the Hornets' frontcourt now thinned by injuries, look for his playing time (and counting stats) to climb slightly in the short term.
