Ties season high with 31 points
Jackson logged 31 points (11-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during the Grizzlies' 116-112 loss to the Wizards on Sunday.
Analysis
Jackson finished Sunday as the game's leading scorer, and it was the fifth time this season he blocked four or more shots. He entered Sunday's game averaging 18.0 points per game, but he has scored at least 21 points in six of his last seven outings and has shot 50.4 percent from the field over that span, including 47.1 percent from three on 4.9 attempts per game.

Scores 24, swats five shots in win
Jackson ended Friday's 125-104 win over the Bucks with 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal in 30 minutes.
Analysis
Players like Ja Morant and Cedric Coward were dealing with playing time restrictions, but Jackson wasn't, and the big man was the one who carried Memphis offensively in this win. This isn't surprising, as Jackson has scored 20-plus points in five of his last six appearances. He's been doing more than just scoring, though, and the five blocks mean he's also had multiple blocks four times over that aforementioned stretch. His two-way impact has been massive for the Grizzlies, and fantasy managers are also enjoying his ability to make a consistent impact on both ends of the court.

Three rejections against Jazz
Jackson ended Tuesday's 137-128 victory over Utah with 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes.
Analysis
The 26-year-old forward was productive once again, scoring more than 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games while recording multiple steals or blocks, or both, for the eighth time in nine December contests. On the month, Jackson is averaging 16.8 points, 5.7 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 threes.
