Jackson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson played through his back injury Friday against the Magic and totaled three points, six rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in 16 minutes. If he's unavailable Sunday, Frank Jackson and Hamidou Diallo could see a slight uptick in playing time.

Jackson is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando due to right lumbar spine tightness.
EDGE Analysis

Jackson was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Nuggets after being assessed two technical fouls, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports. He exits with one point (1-2 FT), one steal and one block in six minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was unimpressed with the referees' performance in Tuesday's game and vocalized that opinion one too many times. He was ejected from the bench while addressing an official.

Jackson posted one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes off the bench before he was ejected with 41.8 seconds remaining in Sunday's 135-108 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was one of two Pistons players sent to the locker room early during the contest, as star rookie Cade Cunningham was run from the game in the third quarter after accruing a pair of technical fouls. Before his departure, Jackson was on his way to his worst game since exiting the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols earlier this month. Over his previous seven outings, Jackson had averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.1 assists in 21.9 minutes per contest.

Jackson supplied 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 133-87 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Jackson led the offense with just 16 points goes to show what an awful performance it was for the Pistons, as they notched just 87 points and lost by nearly 40 points -- albeit against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Jackson is holding a steady role off the bench for Detroit but has been productive given the playing time he's had. Since the beginning of January, the former first-round pick has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances.

Jackson totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 140-111 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has put together his best two-game stretch of the season after missing three consecutive contests due to COVID-19 protocols. Before his stint away from the team, Jackson had fallen out of the rotation, but as long as Frank Jackson (ankle) and Cory Joseph (COVID-19 protocols) remain sidelined, it appears he will get a chance to continue his strong play.

Jackson registered 24 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 115-106 win over Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson came out of nowhere to deliver his best game of the season, as he needed just 20 minutes and 13 shots to surpass the 20-point mark for the first time in 2021-22. This might be an outlier rather than the norm going forward, though, as the former Kansas standout scored in double digits for the first time since mid-November and had racked up a combined 18 points over his previous seven appearances, going scoreless in four of those contests.

Jackson will be available for Monday's game against Milwaukee, James Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pistons will get a handful of key contributors back from the COVID-19 protocols, including Jackson, Killian Hayes, Cade Cunningham and Trey Lyles. It's been well over a week since Detroit has had anything close to its normal rotation available, so it's unclear how Dwane Casey's rotation will break down, but Jackson figures to return to his usual role of 15-to-20 minutes off the bench.

Jackson (COVID-19) is no longer listed on the team's injury reports, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The forward only was forced to miss three contests due to being in the league's health and safety protocols and is now no longer listed on Detroit's injury report. It has been 12 straight games since Jackson has reached double-digit scoring figures, so it is probably best to steer clear of the Kansas product in all fantasy formats for now.
