Jefferson managed 10 points (5-12 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 29 minutes during the Hornets’ 94-92 loss versus the Hawks on Sunday.

Jefferson is averaging 12.3 points on 44 percent shooting from the field to go along with 8.6 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks in 27 minutes per game through three games. He has only committed one turnover on the year, but he has also attempted only three free-throws, all in the opener against the Heat, and just one of which he actually made. The Heat and the Hawks both have fairly stout defensive front-lines, so it’s possible that has played a factor in Jefferson’s slow start. Still, fantasy owners have to be a tad concerned. The Hornets are back in action on Tuesday versus the Bulls.
