</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Brandon Jennings and other Bucks players had bus trouble heading into New Jersey for Monday's game.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Jennings was nowhere to be seen 90 minutes before tip-off, which prompted speculation that some trade action could be in the works. We'll monitor the situation and let you know if there is any reason to alter lineups. Stephen Jackson (hamstring), Shaun Livingston (ankle), and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (knee) were all reported to be day-to-day in NBA.com's pregame notes, so presumably they won't play, but we're not sure.

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Manu Ginobili will return to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">This isn't really a big deal, as he was going to produce similarly whether he started or came off the bench.

<table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>Al Jefferson - F/C - Jazz </td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Al Jefferson (personal) might miss games on Saturday and Sunday due to his grandmother's death.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Jefferson is playing on Monday and sounds likely to play on Wednesday against the Suns, but given how close he was with his grandmother owners should consider this weekend slate of games a lost cause. From there, any game that he plays this weekend should be considered a bonus. Derrick Favors is worth a look if you're in a short-term pinch, and look for each of the Jazz's offensive weapons to get a few extra touches.
