Jefferson registered 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 110-77 Game 2 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The 26 minutes were Jefferson's most of the postseason, and a likely byproduct of Kevin Love (concussion) exiting the game in the third quarter. Coach Tyronn Lue will primarily rely on Jefferson and Channing Frye to absorb Love's minutes if the big man is sidelined for Wednesday's Game 3, but neither player would probably rank as much more than a third or fourth option offensively when on the court.

Jefferson finished with nine points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, and one assist across 22 minutes during the Cavaliers' 115-84 win against the Raptors in Tuesday's Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson nearly grabbed half as many rebounds as the entire Raptors team, which finished with 23 boards. The veteran has been playing well in the playoffs, and he continues to earn decent minutes off the bench for Cleveland. Still, he shouldn't be expected to deliver a repeat performance, and his higher minute totals have typically come in blowouts.

Jefferson managed eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists, and two rebounds across 24 minutes during the Cavaliers' 123-98 win over the Hawks in Wednesday's Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson has made seven of his 13 attempts from beyond the arc since the beginning of the postseason, and he has seen 17 minutes per game through six contests during these playoffs. At 35 years old, Jefferson should not be expected to receive more time than he did Wednesday, but he appears to have solidified his place in the regular rotation thanks to his solid outside shooting and decent defense.

Jefferson will draw the start in Wednesday's season finale versus the Pistons, Pistons' radio announcer Mark Champion reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson will start in place of LeBron James who is resting on the final night of the season. He should see a relatively high workload given all the regular rotational players sitting out.

Jefferson scored 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson was the unlikely second fiddle to LeBron James on a night when neither Kevin Love nor Kyrie Irving could get anything going offensively. Saturday's performance marks the first double-digit scoring output for him in 10 games and the first time he's connected on multiple threes since Feb. 26. Still, while The Eternal One continues to spurn the aging process and provide quality NBA minutes, he doesn't see the floor consistently enough to warrant fantasy value.

Jefferson will be in the starting lineup on Sunday, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson replaces LeBron James at small forward in Sunday's game, who will miss only his second game of the year in order to rest. The 35-year-old Jefferson is averaging seven points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 assists over the five most recent games. It will be his fourth start of the season.

Jefferson scored six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) in eight minutes during the Cavaliers' 99-97 loss to the Raptors on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson is strictly a floor space and a veteran voice at this point in his career. However, the 35-year-old is averaging seven points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 assists over the five most recent games, and Jefferson has at least solidified himself as a part of the Cavaliers' regular rotation.

Jefferson scored 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and added four rebounds and a steal over 17 minutes in Monday's 120-100 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson has seen his playing time rise into the teens in three straight games, but the last two contests were blowout victories for the Cavaliers. It looks like he'll play only a marginal role for the Cavs under interim coach Tyronn Lue, so he can't be trusted to regularly top 10 points.

Jefferson was whistled for four fouls in 12 scoreless minutes (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in the win over Detroit on Friday. None of his fouls were on Andre Drummond.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson received 23 minutes in the blowout win over Phoenix on Wednesday and scored 14 points. He had not played in the previous three games and his role under Tyronn Lue remains to be determined.

Jefferson played just five scoreless minutes in the win over Washington on Wednesday. He grabbed a pair of rebounds.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson has played five minutes in each of his last two games. With Kyrie Irving back at full strength, the playing time dominoes fall to Jefferson not getting much playing time. He is only worth playing in deeper leagues for a 3-pointer or two in a pinch.
