Richard Jefferson

Cavaliers are starting Richard Jefferson on Monday, sending Channing Frye to the bench

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson will replace Channing Frye in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with Milwaukee Bucks.

What It Means:

Head coach Tyronn Lue wants to match Frye up with Bucks' reserve big man Greg Monroe, forcing his move back to the second unit. Jefferson has seen his minutes increase recently, averaging 24.0 in his last three games. He costs the minimum $3,500 on FanDuel, but isn't much more than a middling option.

Our models project Jefferson to record 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 3-pointers in 31.5 minutes on Monday night.
