Leads way in blowout loss
Jackson racked up 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
The Grizzlies looked completely overmatched against the Spurs, but Jackson was Memphis' best fantasy producer by a wide margin, ending just three boards shy of a double-double while contributing in each of the five major categories. Jackson has been one of Memphis' most reliable fantasy options since the All-Star break, averaging 18.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in his last 16 appearances. He's also scored at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances.

Leads Memphis in scoring
Jackson closed with 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three rebounds across 30 minutes during Monday's 146-107 loss to the Hawks.
Analysis
Jackson was coming off a 19-point output in the loss to Charlotte on Saturday, and the third-year veteran delivered an even better performance in this 39-point defeat. Jackson surpassed the 25-point mark just for the second time this season -- and first since Feb. 21. Jackson has scored in double digits in his 10 appearances in March, averaging 17.1 points per game in that stretch.

Puts up 19 points in loss
Jackson ended Saturday's 124-101 loss to the Hornets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
Analysis
Jackson was one of the few standout performers for the Grizzlies in this blowout loss, and while he posted a decent scoring line, his struggles from three-point range are worrisome. The Grizzlies don't have much to play for in the final stages of the season, so Jackson is one of several young players who should continue to see steady minutes. That said, his recent injury history might lead the Grizzlies to rest him at times. He's been productive when available, as this was his fifth straight game with at least 15 points.

Available to play Saturday
Jackson (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Jackson is available to return for the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back set after sitting out Friday's loss to Boston due to left knee soreness. His return likely shifts Taylor Hendricks back to a reserve role, though the Grizzlies may still look to monitor Jackson's workload given the quick turnaround and his recent history with lower-body ailments.

Questionable to play Saturday
Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Jackson was unable to play in Friday's game against the Celtics due to left knee soreness, but he has a chance to return for the second leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set Saturday. If he's not cleared to play, then Taylor Hendricks would likely stay in Memphis' starting lineup.

Ruled out for Friday
Jackson (knee) won't play Friday against the Celtics.
Analysis
Taylor Hendricks will likely return to the starting lineup for Friday's game, and he should get all the run he can handle as one of the only true bigs available for Memphis. Jackson's next chance to play will come Saturday in Charlotte, and for now, he should be considered questionable for that one.
