99 Jae Crowder PF

Crowder finished with 14 points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, and one assist in 33 minutes during Monday's 102-97 loss to Houston.

Crowder moved back into the starting lineup Monday, finished with a 14-and-10 double-double. His playing time has fluctuated over the month of December which has resulted in inconsistent production across the board. He remains a borderline standard league player with a very limited ceiling.

Crowder will start Monday's game against the Rockers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Crowder will start for the second time in three games Monday. He's been alternating with Derrick Favors as the Jazz seek to exploit matchups, but has held largely the same role regardless of the starting designation. On the year, Crowder has managed 11.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game.

Crowder will come off the bench Saturday against the Magic, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

The move is matchup based, with Derrick Favors moving into the starting five to defend against the Magic's Aaron Gordon. When coming off the bench this season, Crowder has averaged 11.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27.6 minutes.

Crowder tallied nine points, two rebounds, two assists, and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 111-84 victory over the Heat.

Crowder moved into the starting lineup, replacing Derrick Favors, but was not able to take advantage of the situation. The Jazz tends to alternate both Crowder and Favors based on the matchup which does cut into their respective values. He has now played over 21 minutes in just one of his past five games which has seen his production decline leaving him as more of a deep league player.

Crowder will start Wednesday's game against the Heat, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.

Crowder will get the start over Derrick Favors as the Jazz look to go a little smaller versus Miami. In four starts this year, Crowder is averaging 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 30.0 minutes.
