Days like Thursday are a reminder of what Jackson can offer to fantasy managers, even with his lackluster rebounding production. He scored 23 points in the first half before going quiet, but he did record his third 30-point game of the season. Jackson’s poor rebounding makes the defensive categories that much more critical when assessing his fantasy value, and he recorded four “stocks” on Thursday. He’ll look to end Week 13 on a high note when the Grizzlies play the Magic on Sunday in London.

Playing against a severely depleted Thunder roster, Jackson and the Grizzlies controlled Friday’s game for most of the first three quarters. After making all three of his shot attempts in the third quarter, JJJ was 0-of-3 in the fourth as Memphis lost a game that it led by as much as 21. The final stat line was solid, but fantasy managers may have hoped for more from Jackson on a night when the Grizzlies were once again without Ja Morant.

Jackson was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day, which is often an indicator that a player will end up missing a game. However, he’ll be good to go and should see his typical role after playing 35 minutes on Tuesday.

Initially probable for Memphis’ second game in as many nights, Jackson has been downgraded to questionable. With Santi Aldama also questionable because of a sore right ankle, the Grizzlies could be down two rotation frontcourt players. In that case, they would have to rely even more on Jock Landale and Christian Koloko, with the former being the safer streaming option.

Jackson came within one board of his third double-double effort of the season and reached the 20-point plateau for the eighth time in his last 11 games since December 15. The 26-year-old forward has underwhelmed from a fantasy standpoint this season, but his scoring numbers have gone up in recent weeks, which is an encouraging sign. He’ll be tasked with carrying Memphis on both ends of the floor as they deal with a plethora of injuries to key starters and reserves.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Jackson scored 25 points, making it four of the last five games that he’s scored at least 21 points. The bad news is that he didn’t do much else. Jackson landed in early foul trouble, picking up four before halftime. That affected how he went about his business, as evidenced by the lack of blocked shots. While Jackson has never been an excellent rebounder, grabbing just one is poor. Hopefully, he can bring more to the table in Sunday’s rematch to end Week 11.

Jackson has picked up the production since returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for two games in late November. After scoring 20 points or more in three of his first 15 games, the Grizzlies forward has accomplished that feat in eight of his last 15, including two with 30 or more. In addition to his second 30-point game of the season, Jackson recorded a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Grizzlies open a three-game Week 11 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Jackson Jr. put together another well-rounded performance in Friday’s win. Among the several notable stats, his performance on the defensive end was particularly strong and reminiscent of his Defensive Player of the Year-type outings. The veteran forward has now averaged 22.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks over the past 6 games and has been arguably the Grizzlies’ most impressive and reliable player over that stretch. They’ll likely continue to lean on him, which could lead to similarly productive performances from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Jackson has been one of the most impactful all-around threats in the fantasy landscape over the past week, averaging 27.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 blocks over his last three games. He’s scored at least 22 points in each of those contests and has eight blocks during that span. That’ll do.

After he went off for 31 points in Monday’s win over the Clippers, there were likely a lot of fantasy managers interested in seeing what Jackson would do for an encore. With Ja Morant (ankle) back on the sidelines, Trip recorded a complete stat line that included his first double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, Jackson has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats. After these last two games, Jackson’s “buy low” window has likely closed.

JJJ did it all for Memphis on Monday. Outstanding shooting led him to his first 30-point outing of the season and helped him to finish as the Grizzlies’ leading scorer on the evening. He was also dialed in from beyond the arc and was a monster on the defensive end of the floor. Altogether, his numbers led to an exceptional fantasy basketball performance. He’ll look to put together another strong showing on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

While Jackson certainly deserves credit for what he did in the points and three-point categories, what he didn’t do will undoubtedly strike a nerve with some fantasy managers. He did not record any rebounds or defensive stats in Friday’s victory. While Zach Edey dominated the boards for the Grizzlies, grabbing 21 rebounds, Jackson’s lack of production in that category was disappointing. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 4.4 rebounds per game, which is why Jackson has not been a top-100 player during this stretch.

Not only were Jackson’s 27 points a game-high, but they were also the most he’s scored in a game this season. While the rebounding production remains disappointing, JJJ’s overall stat line in Wednesday’s overtime victory was solid. The good news for Jackson managers is that he’s closing in on top-100 value. However, no one expected him to be that low in the rankings when the season began. The Grizzlies continue their road trip with games against the Clippers and Kings to end Week 6.

Back in action after a two-game absence, Jackson struggled with his perimeter shot on Monday. The Grizzlies’ forward/center was 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, but that wasn’t the most disappointing part of his night. Jackson did not record any defensive stats, and those categories are crucial for a mediocre rebounder like him. JJJ exceeded his season average in rebounds on Monday, but the 5.3 per game would be the lowest mark for him since the 2019-20 season (4.6).

Jackson is back in the lineup after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. As a result, Santi Aldama returns to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a slight hit. That’s the lone change to the Grizzlies’ starting five.

Jackson will return to the lineup after missing the last two games. His return could send Santi Aldama back to the bench for a Grizzlies team that is riding a multiple-game winning streak for the first time all season. Jackson is averaging 17.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in his 8th NBA season.

Jackson has missed Memphis’ last two games with a sprained right ankle, with Santi Aldama replacing him in the lineup. If JJJ remains out, Aldama will get another start, and he’s worth rostering in 12-team formats while that is the case.

Initially doubtful for Saturday’s game, Jackson has officially been ruled out. That means Santi Aldama will get another start, and he should be streamed until the Grizzlies get their starting power forward back.

Jackson did not play in Thursday’s win over the Kings, which resulted in Santi Aldama moving into the starting lineup. Aldama went off for 29 points and should be rostered in 12-team leagues whenever Jackson is unavailable. With JJJ considered doubtful, Saturday could be another big day for Aldama.

Jackson, who sprained his right ankle during Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, will miss a game for the first time this season. Santi Aldama is the likely replacement, but his fantasy ceiling will be raised even if he comes off the bench.

Jackson is listed as doubtful with a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old power forward isn’t expected to play, leaving the Grizzlies potentially without one of their best players. Jackson was in the midst of a down stretch anyway as his season averages to start the year are down from last year across the board. Santi Aldama could move into the starting lineup if Jackson is out on Thursday.

Jackson had a decent night scoring-wise, but the lack of defensive stats is concerning for a player who has been a mediocre rebounder. Counting Tuesday, he’s averaging 1.3 blocks per game, and this would be the third straight season in which JJJ has averaged fewer than two if that were to hold. Not only has his value in redraft leagues been disappointing so far, but dynasty managers can’t be thrilled with Jackson, either.

Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring, but it was a tough night for him. He had his worst shooting percentage of the season, but he was able to get to the free throw line often and have success from there. Ja Morant (calf) exited early, and if he misses time, Jackson will only become more important to this offense. This was a new season-high for points, shot attempts and free throw attempts for Jackson.

Jackson Jr. played just 23 minutes on Wednesday, thanks to the score being one-sided, in favor of the Celtics. He led the Grizzlies in scoring and led the team in field-goal attempts along the way. He added a couple stocks on the defensive end but otherwise found very little production elsewhere. Jackson has scored 17 or more points in six of seven games during November.

The Grizzlies have lost six of their last seven games, but Jackson’s production has been relatively consistent. He’s scored at least 17 points in three straight and five of his last six games. The issue for Jackson has been foul trouble, with the Grizzlies forward picking up his third disqualification of the season on Tuesday. With Ja Morant’s inconsistent effort and production, the Grizzlies need even more from Jackson. And fantasy managers would also benefit from improved production.

Jackson didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, and his finishing in the paint was the issue. The Grizzlies forward shot 3-of-8 in the paint, which negatively impacted his overall field-goal percentage. However, the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers were solid, so all wasn’t lost for fantasy managers who have Jackson rostered. He’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats, which isn’t the production that many hoped for based on JJJ’s Yahoo! ADP of 36. Memphis plays three games during Week 4, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Jackson Jr. had an unspectacular night overall, but shot efficiently in the 29 minutes he played. He drained a pair of three-pointers in the process and connected on all three of his free throws. Yet, the former Defensive Player of the Year didn’t record any stocks and had very little impact on the glass. His scoring was the only noteworthy contribution from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Ja Morant wasn’t the only culprit in the Grizzlies’ loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. Jackson had his lowest scoring output of the season with nine points on six attempts from the field. This was just the second time in eight games that the 26-year-old power forward shot worse than 50 percent in a game. Jackson is certainly better than this, but if he was more aggressive in getting shots up he wouldn’t have to be so efficient to get his points. If the Grizzlies are going to stop this three-game losing streak from growing, they’re going to need Jackson, who they signed to a max contract this offseason, to step up.

Jackson set his season-high for scoring in a second straight game. After scoring 20 points against Toronto on Sunday, he exceeded that mark against Detroit as the Grizzlies dropped a third straight game. Jackson’s scoring has been down early on this season, mostly due to seeing fewer shot attempts. However, he’s shooting efficiently, which helps make up for the lack of volume. He’ll look to make it three straight 20-point outings when they take on the Rockets on Wednesday.

JJJ scored a team-high in points on a night in which the Grizzlies were without their leading scorer, Ja Morant. With the efficient shooting, Jackson Jr. was able to reach the 20-point mark for the first time this season. The former Defensive Player of the Year didn’t land any stocks in this game, however, which has now happened in back-to-back games and for the third time already this season. The Grizzlies, and fantasy managers, would likely benefit from Jackson Jr. returning to last year’s form.
