Jackson is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
An illness forced Jackson to miss Monday's win over Atlanta, but all indications are that he'll be back in action Thursday. The wing has scored in double figures in six straight games, hitting for exactly 29 points twice during that stretch.

Jackson (illness) will not play Monday against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The good news is the illness is non-COVID-19-related, but it will cost Jackson at least one game as the Pistons begin a three-game week. He'll have a pair of off days Tuesday and Wednesday to recover before Thursday's home matchup against Dallas.

Jackson (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The guard is listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness, so his status will be worth monitoring throughout the day. Jackson has been one of the few Pistons regulars to avoid being rested of late, and he's averaged 19.2 points on 45 percent shooting over the last six contests.

Jackson scored 29 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT) and grabbed four rebounds across 31 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has been an up-and-down point producer of late, scoring 20-plus points five times in13 contests in April but also finishing with single-digit scoring three times during the month. Thursday's effort was his second 29-point performance in his past five games, and he has averaged a healthy 20.6 points, 3.8 boards and 1.4 three-pointers over that span.

Jackson scored 16 points (5-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) to go along with five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson showed little hesitation in finding his shot and led the team with 16 attempts from the field. He struggled mightily to get those shots to fall, particularly from three-point range, but still managed to score in double-digits for the third consecutive game. His four assists were atypical, as he had managed three or fewer dimes in eight straight contests prior to Monday's effort.

Jackson finished Friday's win over the Thunder with 29 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds and two steals.
EDGE Analysis
In a game neither team had much interest in winning, Jackson carried Detroit offensively as the only Pistons player to top 20 points. He's now reached that plateau in three of the last four games, while averaging 5.0 rebounds per contest in that stretch.

Jackson had 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-124 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson continued on his merry way during the loss, taking advantage of the fact the Pistons were without a number of regular rotational pieces. After a mini-breakout earlier in the season, Jackson fell out of the rotation before being handed additional responsibility once again, seemingly due to necessity. As long as he is hot, GMs can simply pick him up and ride this out until he cools off.

Jackson finished Saturday's loss to Portland with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was nearly perfect from beyond the arc in the loss, making 5-of-6 tries from deep while the remainder of his team went just 4-for-20. The fourth-year guard is shooting only 31.1 percent from three-point range this season, however, so Saturday's efficient outing isn't likely to be a frequent occurrence moving forward.

Jackson will start Monday's game against Oklahoma City, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will receive his fourth start in a row for Detroit, and he's been incredibly inconsistent in the last three. In the last three starts, Jackson has scored zero points, 31 points and five points in successive games.

Jackson exploded for 31 points (13-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and a steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was coming off a scoreless outing Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, but he bounced back in a big way and mustered a season-high 31 points while also carrying the team offensively due to Jerami Grant's off night. The former first-round pick has scored in double digits on a regular basis this season and had a 15-game stretch between Jan. 30 and Feb. 28 in which he averaged 16.9 points per game, so this 31-point outing is just the latest proof of what he can do when his game is on. He's expected to remain in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Knicks, as he seems to have supplanted Wayne Ellington -- at least for the time being.
