Likely to play Sunday Jackson is expected to play Sunday against the Kings, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Jackson logged 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, six blocks and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-101 win over the Pelicans.

Goes 2-for-12 from field Tuesday Jackson finished Tuesday's 125-108 loss to Phoenix with six points (2-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 26 minutes.

Impact Jackson came into the contest hitting 51.4 percent of his field-goal tries on the campaign, but that mark dropped to 49.2 percent after Tuesday's poor offensive showing. Of course, Jackson's value is about much more than offense, and his fantasy managers aren't likely to be entirely displeased given that the forward also pulled own eight rebounds, notched two steals and swatted three shots. He's now recorded multiple blocks in four straight games and is averaging an impressive 3.1 swats per contest on the campaign.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Double-Double Highlights vs. Phoenix Suns | 24 points, 10 rebounds

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Drops double-double on Suns Jackson had 24 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 125-100 win over the Suns.

Impact Jackson enjoyed one of his best offensive games of the season, tying for the team lead with 24 points and putting up his most shots in nine December contests. The talented forward added 10 boards to finish with his third double-double, and Jackson also swatted a pair of shots for his 11th multi-block performance this season. He missed Memphis' first 14 games of the campaign while recovering from last year's foot surgery, but since his return he's put up impressive numbers, averaging 16.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 3.1 blocks and 1.0 steals across 15 contests.

Blocks five shots Tuesday Jackson ended Tuesday's 105-91 loss to the Nuggets with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, five blocks and three steals across 22 minutes.

Impact Jackson was limited to just 22 minutes as a result of foul trouble but still delivered managers a strong fantasy line. Since returning from a foot injury, his offensive production has sputtered a bit, although his defensive contributions have been a real game-changer. The Grizzlies are going to need him to do more in terms of scoring should they hope to stay atop the Western Conference. Look for Jackson to find some rhythm in the near future, starting with Friday's matchup against the Suns.
