Jackson totaled 21 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson and the Grizzlies turned in a spirited performance, but it wasn't enough to upend the Nuggets. Jaren Jackson's departure has thrust GG Jackson into a starting role, and Wednesday's effort marked his highest scoring total since taking over the gig. Over five starts, he's averaging 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Jackson closed with six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 114-113 loss to Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson appears initially to be one of the main fantasy beneficiaries of last week's Jaren Jackson trade. The former Jackson has started each of Memphis' past four contests, during which he's shown plenty of fantasy upside while averaging 12.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per tilt.

Jackson finished Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings with 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson chipped in across the board, turning in another encouraging performance. He has now scored double digits in six of the past seven games, taking advantage of the fact that it appears as though Memphis is ready to tear it down. During that seven-game period, Jackson has averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Jackson is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Kings on Wednesday, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson appears to be the early favorite to be a regular member of the Grizzlies' starting lineup after Jaren Jackson was traded to the Jazz on Tuesday. Jackson has scored in double digits in five of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 threes over 23.5 minutes per game.

Jackson closed with 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 131-114 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year forward set a new season scoring high as part of an impressive night by the Grizzlies' second unit, which produced 56 points to the starting five's 58. Jackson closed out January on a bit of a heater, scoring at least 12 points in four of the last five games and averaging 12.8 points, 4.6 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.0 threes and 1.2 combined blocks and steals in 24.0 minutes a contest.

Jackson closed with 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson led the Grizzlies' bench in scoring for a third game in a row. He's building momentum as the team will be without leading scorer Ja Morant for the near future. He's averaging 10.8 points per game across January, several points higher than his season average (7.6).

Jackson supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 108-99 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has now scored 14 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, even though he missed all six of his attempts from beyond the arc Monday. Memphis is battling a cast of injuries, but Jackson has been an elite fantasy presence since late December.

Jackson posted 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson provided a spark off the bench with an efficient 15 points. The forward has averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 19.7 minutes per contest through seven games this month, but Jackson remains well behind Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells on the Memphis depth chart.

Jackson won't start against the Thunder on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Cedric Coward returning from a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Jackson will slide to the second unit. The 21-year-old forward has logged 21 or more minutes in four of his last five outings off the bench, during which he has averaged 8.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 20.6 minutes per tilt.

Jackson amassed 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies were shorthanded once again Wednesday, allowing Jackson to see increased minutes. He still has a lot of work to do to get on the fantasy radar, as he's averaging 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers over his last three outings on 34.8 percent shooting from the field.
