Jefferson will draw the start Saturday in place of Chandler Parsons (knee), Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Parsons will be held out with swelling in his knee, so the veteran will step in and make his 13th start of the season. Jefferson should see a bump in minutes, but he's not enough of an offensive threat these days to warrant consideration in daily formats.
