Murray followed his 20-point outing against the Knicks with an even higher-scoring performance on Friday, setting a new season-high against the Raptors. Eighteen of Jackson’s points and three of his three-pointers came after halftime. The third-year forward’s strong second half of the season has been encouraging after a slower start to the year. Given the Grizzlies’ injuries and roster construction throughout the year, he will be an interesting player to project next fantasy season.

Between the 17 minutes of game action and the seven field goals he attempted, there weren’t many opportunities for Jackson to produce on Monday. Still, he made good on most of his chances by missing just one shot overall, landing a blocked shot, and doing a decent job on the glass in his minutes. However, it wasn’t the type of fantasy performance that those fantasy managers who roster him are likely thrilled about. He’ll have a chance to fill it up on Wednesday against the Knicks.

Jackson, once again, was one of Memphis’ better performers on Wednesday. Despite the blowout loss, he still logged 30 minutes and took advantage of his opportunities by shooting the ball efficiently, particularly from the three-point line. His work on the glass was solid, and his three stocks were helpful from a fantasy basketball lens. The Grizzlies are now officially eliminated from playoff contention following their loss to the Spurs, but that shouldn’t have much of an impact on Jackson’s outlook the rest of the way.

Small is back in the starting unit after missing the most recent loss to the Hawks. The Grizzlies are currently a long shot to make the playoffs, yet several players, including some in the starting lineup, have a chance to make an impact during the fantasy playoffs.

While Jackson and the Grizzlies lost by 39 points against the Hawks on Monday, the 21-year-old small forward still played 30 minutes. That allowed Jackson to put up 26 points, which led the Grizzlies. It’s Jackson’s third game this month with at least 20 points, though he’s averaging 11.5 points this season. Jackson isn’t a major fantasy asset, but he’s still one of the Grizzlies’ key contributors as the season winds down.

Jackson is dealing with left knee soreness, which caused him to miss Friday’s loss to the Celtics. Oliver-Maxence Prosper started and had 14 points in 31 minutes against Boston. Prosper would likely start again if Jackson is out.

The third-year forward was one of six Memphis players to score in double figures on Wednesday. And although his scoring came on inefficient shooting, he came up big with nine points in the final frame to help the Grizzlies to a seven-point win. The late scoring also led Jackson to extend his streak of double-digit scoring games to 14, which he’ll have a chance to push to 15 games on Friday against the Celtics. His involvement shouldn’t change down the stretch of the regular season.

Both players appeared in Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks, and both could end up sitting out the second leg of Memphis’ back-to-back set. If Jackson and Wells sit this one out, Cedric Coward and Taylor Hendricks could earn some additional run.

Jackson extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 13 games on Thursday, with efficient shooting leading him to finish as one of two Grizzlies with at least 20 points. He missed a couple at the line and was cold from beyond the arc, however, leaving some points on the floor. Jackson hasn’t consistently contributed in many other ways of late, but has shown the potential to be a good rebounder. He’ll likely remain one of the Grizzlies’ key contributors down the stretch of the season.

Jackson led all Memphis starters in scoring in his 27 minutes of action. He didn’t take many shots, but scored efficiently and used the three-point line to his advantage. The third-year forward has now scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games, and his production should realistically increase now that Jaren Jackson Jr. has been traded away. He’s someone fantasy managers should at least keep an eye on for now.

Jackson started and played 27 minutes against the Kings on Wednesday. The 21-year-old power forward could be one of the main beneficiaries of the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade as he’s consistently shown he can produce when given the opportunity. Jackson has scored in doubled figures in six of his last seven games. He and the rest of the Grizzlies take on the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Jackson had a nice game off the bench on Wednesday. He contributed in several different areas, producing three stocks, while shooting well from the floor to reach double figures in scoring for the third straight game. Jackson hasn’t yet re-captured the magic from his rookie season, but he’s played well lately, regardless. The third-year forward will have a chance to log another strong performance on Friday against the Pelicans.
