Al Jefferson: Will come off bench in his return

Jefferson (suspension) will come off the bench in his return from a five game suspension.

Analysis:

Jefferson has missed Charlotte's previous 11 games due to a calf injury, and then a suspension. Having not played since Nov. 29, it makes sense that the Hornets want to ease him back into action. Cody Zeller will remain starting in his place Saturday, but expect Jefferson to be back in his usual starting role sooner than later. It is unclear what type of minutes he will see right away, so it may be smart to avoid him in DFS until his current role is made more clear.
