DaQuan Jeffries DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard DaQuan Jeffries (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jeffries is set to miss his third game in a row due to a left knee injury. He has only been averaging minutes in the teens this season, but Jeffries was playing more before the injury. However, he'll likely see a reduced role with LaMelo Ball (ankle) healthy once again. Jeffries hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season and remains off the fantasy radar at the moment.

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard DaQuan Jeffries (hand) has been diagnosed with a fractured right fifth metacarpal and looks set to miss an extended period. A more specific timeline for his return hasn't been announced. Jeffries suffered the injury in Tuesday's preseason game against Miami. The 27-year-old joined the Hornets as a result of the Karl-Anthony Towns trade at the start of the month. He rarely played with the Knicks last season, but Charlotte has given him a decent look in preseason. However, the hand injury has cut Jeffries' preseason short.
