Jefferson will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Rockets, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

With Chandler Parsons (knee) being ruled out for the contest and possibly at risk of missing the rest of the series, Jefferson will be counted upon to take on greater minutes. The veteran forward averaged just under 17 minutes of court time during the regular season, posting marks of 5.8 points and 2.5 boards. More likely than not, coach Rick Carlisle will take a tandem approach to replacing Parsons' production, with fellow wing Al-Farouq Aminu likely to see an uptick in court time off the bench when Jefferson sits.
