Not starting Tuesday
Jackson won't start Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Analysis
Jackson got the spot start in Sunday's loss to the Clippers but will return to the second unit Tuesday. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 24-year-old has averaged 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 12.2 minutes per contest.

Making first start of 2026
Jackson is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Clippers on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The Bucks have just eight active players available for Sunday's contest, so Jackson will move into the starting lineup for the first time this season. Over his last three outings, Jackson has averaged 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.7 steals over 17.0 minutes per game.

Busy on defense in loss
Jackson finished with eight points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and four steals over 21 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
The third-year forward had managed only four total steals in his prior 27 NBA games combined, but Jackson took advantage of extra run in the rout to tie his career high in the category. Jackson's played double-digit minutes only three times in 10 March appearances, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) and Bobby Portis (wrist) all on the shelf right now, there could be plenty of court time available in the Bucks' frontcourt.
