Rotowire
Jeffries won't start in Monday's game against the Jazz.
Seth Curry (knee) will receive the starting nod in his return to game action, pushing Jeffries to the bench. Over 16 appearances (13 starts) this month, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 26.3 minutes per contest.

Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Poor shooting night in rout
Rotowire
Jeffries supplied five points (2-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Clippers.
Although Jeffries logged a team-high 36 minutes in Sunday's rout, he failed to make a big impact in the box score. Jeffries has carved out a stable role in Charlotte's rotation of late, although it hasn't translated to much fantasy value. Over his past seven games, Jeffries has averaged 8.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.4 minutes.
Jeffries provided 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 123-110 loss to the Hawks.
Jeffries recorded a career-high 20 points in the loss, eclipsing 30 minutes for the second game in a row. Fantasy managers may need to see more performances like this before jumping onboard, as this was certainly an outlier. Over his last seven games, Jeffries holds averages of 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes.
Jeffries will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against Miami.
The 27-year-old will supplant Nick Smith in the starting five for the second time over the club's last three outings. Jeffries has averaged 3.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 19.4 minutes per game in his last five outings (two starts).

Rotowire
Jeffries (knee) posted six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and eight rebounds across 17 minutes Thursday in the Hornets' 103-96 loss to the Mavericks.
Back in action after missing the previous four games due to a left knee effusion, Jeffries reclaimed a spot in the Charlotte rotation as a backup forward. When healthy, Jeffries has been able to hold down a regular role on the second unit since early December, but he hasn't produced well enough to put himself on the radar outside of deeper leagues. Over 23 appearances, Jeffries is averaging 5.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.1 minutes while shooting 38.7 percent from the floor.
