The NBA's Defensive Player of the Year race has no clear frontrunner. Who deserves to win this season? Rudy Gobert? Draymond Green? Jaren Jackson? Marcus Smart? Bam Adebayo? Joel Embiid? There's no clear best candidate, but let's take a look.

Blocks four shots in win Jackson closed with 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Nets.

Impact Jackson struggled from the field but still scored in double figures for a seventh consecutive game and blocked at least four shots for the 14th time this season. Across 10 contests in March, the talented big man has averaged 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.1 assists in 25.4 minutes per game.

Bane has 24 points, Grizzlies rout Rockets without Morant

Desmond Bane had 24 points and the Memphis Grizzlies overcame the absence of star Ja Morant with balanced scoring in a 122-98 victory over the NBA-worst Houston Rockets on Sunday

Decent all-around effort Jackson amassed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Jackson was efficient from the floor while filling the stat sheet in a game where the entire Memphis offense struggled. He's lacked consistency at times this season but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, as he has scored in double digits in each of his last five appearances.

Dominates in blowout win Jackson notched 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Jackson did his damage quickly in the blowout win, putting on an impressive two-way performance against Indiana's soft frontcourt. Notably, the performance marked his 13th straight with at least one block, and he's scored at least 18 points in three of the past four games.

Scores 18 points in win Jackson notched 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Jackson didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a solid stat line. It would be fair to treat him as Memphis' third-best scoring weapon behind Ja Morant and Desmond Bane at the moment. He's averaging 13.6 points per game over his last 10 contests, though he's shooting 40.2 percent from the field and a meager 25 percent from three-point range in that span.

Blocks three shots Tuesday Jackson totaled 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 132-111 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Jackson turned things around after a poor showing in his previous performance, making the most of his time on the floor despite the blowout. Outside of a few subpar efforts, Jackson has been able to successfully rebuild his reputation after sitting out the majority of the 2020-21 season. With the Grizzlies pushing hard down the stretch, his production should be sustainable ROS.

Impact Jackson had been held to just 14 total points over his last two games coming into Thursday's matchup, but he was able to bounce back in Boston, finishing second on the team in scoring. He also produced for fantasy managers on the glass, turning in his best rebounding total since Feb. 24 against Minnesota. It's also worth mentioning that the Michigan State product has now swatted at least one shot in seven consecutive contests.

Impact Jackson put forth an average shooting night but thrived inside, racking up five offensive rebounds and attempting a season-high 11 free throws. Jackson's physicality this season has yielded a career-high 4.6 free throws per contest, and he's connecting at an 80.3 percent clip. He ranks as a top-8 fantasy asset at the power forward position.
