Adds nine off bench Jenkins finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two assists in 19 minutes during Thursday's 71-69 win over Ohio State.
Impact Jenkins has been a three-point specialist off the bench this season but that hasn't been great as he averages 27.3 percent from distance. Should he make a habit of Thursday's clean performance, Jenkins will be a bigger threat off the bench.

Playing time trending downward Jenkins accumulated zero points (0-1 FG) across three minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to USC.
Impact Jenkins has seen just five and three minutes over his past two games, recording zero combined points and rebounds over that span. This is a sudden downturn from the first 18 games of the season, over which the fourth-year guard put up 10.7 points across 23.2 minutes -- even starting the season's first nine games. it's unclear if there's an injury in play here that isn't being discussed, or if he's simply falling out of the rotation after shooting 29.2 percent from the field over his previous seven games. Whatever the case, it's going to be real tough for fantasy managers to consider rolling him out there given the stretch of recent performances.
