Jackson totaled 12 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 34 minutes in the Suns' 116-102 loss to the Lakers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson logged the third-most minutes on the night for the Suns, but he fell well short of maximizing them due to his third straight forgettable shooting performance. The second-year wing has now drained 35.7 percent or less of his attempts over the last three games, a stretch that includes a 1-for-11 tally from distance. Jackson has still managed a pair of serviceable lines in that period due to strong free-throw shooting and solid contributions elsewhere, however, and he still retains plenty of upside as long he's part of the starting five.

Jackson logged 17 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 30 minutes in Friday's 132-95 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from Devin Booker, no one really excelled in this game, but Jackson posted one of his better scoring nights of the season as he filled in for T.J.. Warren (ankle) once again. The Kansas product has struggled to find time on a crowded depth chart that recently added Kelly Oubre as another option at forward.

Jackson tallied six points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson moved into the starting lineup with T.J. Warren (ankle) sitting on the sidelines. Jackson was disappointing in his time on the floor but with Warren set to miss at least two weeks, Jackson is worth adding in across most formats to see if he can take advantage of the situation.

Jackson will start at power forward Thursday against Portland, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With T.J. Warren (ankle) ruled out for the next few weeks, Jackson figures to join the starting unit for the foreseeable future. He drew three straight starts earlier in the month and put together strong performances, averaging 15.0 points, 4.7 boards, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals over that brief stretch. Jackson may be worth rostering in the short term, assuming he continues to fill in for Warren.

Jackson produced 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson broke a three-game slump of single-digit scoring efforts, and has now finished with at least 10 points in seven of the first 10 games in January. Devin Booker's recent return to the lineup following a three-game absence with a back injury has resulted in Jackson seeing less playing time lately (19 minutes twice in the last four games). The sophomore forward had earned 30-plus minutes in all three of the games Booker missed, as well as the game he exited early due to injury. However, the last time Jackson earned that much time in a game that Booker played was back on Dec. 28.

Jackson will come off the bench Tuesday against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
With Devin Booker (back) returning to the starting five, Jackson will resume his usual role off the pine. As a reserve, the sophomore is averaging 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Jackson tallied 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 victory over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson scored in double-digits for the sixth straight game Saturday, continuing to fill in admirably for the injured Devin Booker (back). Jackson's numbers across the six games have been impressive across the board, even shooting the ball well, aside from this most recent performance. His role upon Bookers return will likely reduce but he has certainly done enough to warrant additional playing time moving forward.

Jackson will enter the starting five Tuesday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Back spasms are preventing Devin Booker from playing Tuesday, so Jackson will step in as a starter. In nine previous starts this season, Jackson has averaged 9.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals.

Jackson posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes in the Suns' 119-113 loss to the Hornets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's scoring total led the second unit and was second only to T.J. Warren's on the Suns. It also served as a season-high figure for the second-year wing, who helped make up for the offensive void created by Devin Booker's early exit from the game due to back spasms. Jackson has been less consistent and involved than during his rookie campaign thus far this season, but he's opened the new calendar year with three straight double-digit scoring efforts. If Booker is forced to miss Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Jackson could certainly be in for an expanded role in that contest.

Jackson managed nine points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes in the Suns' 118-102 loss to the Thunder on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's scoring total paced the second unit, and his overall production served as an extension of a productive stretch. The second-year wing came into Friday's game having scored in double digits in four of the prior five contests, and although he just failed to get there against the Thunder due to poor shooting, he offered serviceable contributions on the boards. Factoring in Friday's production, the 21-year-old is averaging 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals across 27.1 minutes in 14 December contests.
