There were only five NBA games on Monday night, and only three former Wildcats in action. Here's how they did:
Richard Jefferson: As Chandler Parsons continues to miss games due to injury, Jefferson has now gotten five starts in a row. His performance on Monday might have been his best of the season. He nearly had a perfect shooting night as he went 5-6 from the field, 2-2 from behind the arc, and 4-4 from the free throw line. He also grabbed 5 rebounds and had a block. The Mavericks trailed by three at the beginning of the third quarter, but with help from 7 third quarter points from RJ, Dallas was able to comeback and beat the Pelicans. Jefferson tied his season-high with 16 points. This tweet from The Bird Writes just about sums up Jefferson's night perfectly:

Andre Iguodala: It was a typical night for Iguodala. He didn't light up the scoreboard, but he contributed in nearly every aspect of the game. He scored 12 points, while knocking down 2 threes, had 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. The Warriors were also +5 when Iggy was on the court, a team high. They nearly completed yet another double-digit comeback like the night before, but they fell short as they lost to the Nets 110-108 on a buzzer beater by Jarrett Jack.
Chase Budinger: Budinger played just 11 minutes, went 1-2 from the field, and had a rebound and an assist.
