  21H ago • By RotoWire

  Jackson produced 21 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 123-98 victory over the Trail Blazers. Jackson delivered his third consecutive 20-plus-point game and has totaled 11 across 16 regular-season appearances. The big man also tied Brandon Clarke for the team high in blocks, and Jackson now has 10 outings with two or more blocks. The 25-year-old is on track for a career-best campaign. He has averaged 22.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the field across 28.7 minutes per game.

• Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Fills stat sheet Saturday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Jackson ended with 23 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 win over Chicago. Jackson continues to produce at a high level for Memphis, and he's adjusted well to being the team's most consistent scoring weapon. He had to find a way to embrace that role in the absence of Ja Morant (hip) and with Desmond Bane shaking off the rust from his previous injury, but Jackson has responded well to the challenge. He's scored at least 20 points in all but one of his last nine contests.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Jackson provided 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers. Jackson has emerged as a reliable scoring weapon for the Grizzlies in the absence of Ja Morant (hip), but the big man has performed better than initially expected. He's embraced being a go-to player on offense and has notched at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games. The former Michigan State standout is averaging 25.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor in that span.

• Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Leads Memphis in victory

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Jackson contributed 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over Denver. Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring and is embracing his role as one of the team's go-to players on offense due to the absence of Ja Morant (hip). The big man has scored at least 20 points in six games in a row, averaging 26.7 points and shooting 51.4 percent from the field in that stretch. Those numbers should face a regression once Morant is fully healthy, but for now, Jackson remains a solid contributor in all formats who's putting up above-average scoring numbers compared to his career figures.

• Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Pours in 32 in Friday's loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Jackson logged 32 points (11-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to Golden State. The 25-year-old forward has been the focal point of the Grizzlies' offense during the latest absence for Ja Morant (hip), and while Jackson failed to drain at least one three-pointer Friday for the first time in November, he made up for it with season-best volume from the free-throw line. Over the last four games without Morant on the court, Jackson is averaging 30.0 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 threes, 1.8 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
