Huge game in key win Jackson produced 37 points (14-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-125 win over the Rockets. Impact Jackson stepped up big time while Ja Morant missed time due to suspension, and his play was vital to the Grizzlies' success over that nine-game run. Over that stretch, Jackson averaged 22.7 points per game, up from his season-long average of 17.7. He didn't miss a beat with Morant's returning to the court Wednesday, scoring a season-high 37 points and adding his usual defensive contributions. The Rockets are a favorable matchup for Jackson, and he will face them again Friday.
