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.

Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Grabs eight boards in return
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.

Rotowire

With both LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Mark Williams (conditioning) out, Jeffries could step into a bigger role if available. He's played double-digit minutes in 13 straight games, averaging 3.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists. However, if Jeffries is sidelined, that could mean more minutes for players like Tidjane Salaun, Seth Curry and others.

Hornets' DaQuan Jeffries: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Jeffries is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to an illness.
Jeffries wasn't included on the Hornets' initial injury report that was released Saturday, so the illness is presumably something that cropped up overnight. The 27-year-old has been available for both of the Hornets' previous two games but didn't see the court in coach's decisions, so he'll likely be outside of the rotation even if he ends up shaking off the illness ahead of Sunday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff.
