• Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Back to bench role

  12/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jackson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bulls, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Jackson will return to the bench due to the return of Andrew Nembhard to the first unit. The former Texas A&M standout is averaging 4.7 points and 1.1 rebounds per game when coming off the bench, so his fantasy upside will undoubtedly take a hit since he won't be in the lineup.

• Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Notches 12 points in win

  11/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jackson finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over the Pelicans. Jackson was coming off a scoreless dud against the Wizards on Sunday but responded with his second-best performance of his rookie season. Fantasy managers probably shouldn't look at him as anything more than a short-term streamer in deeper leagues, as the Pacers are expecting Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Andrew Nembhard (knee) back in December.

• Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Lands season-high 24 points

  11/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jackson amassed 24 points (10-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets. Jackson moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, going off for a season-high 24 points. The Pacers are without a number of regular guards, affording Jackson with a great opportunity. While he was able to capitalize, keep in mind he had scored a total of just 28 points in six games to begin the campaign. As a player who is not even a consistent part of the rotation, we would need to see a lot more of this before declaring him a reliable asset.
