Jackson will start in Thursday's game against the Wizards, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson will start in his second game in a row, as he's apparently supplanted Wayne Ellington in the lineup for the time being. Jackson totaled zero points across 19 minutes in his last start, so he's likely due for at least a slightly better performance.

Jackson produced zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 124-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson drew his first start since Jan. 10, but he responded with his first zero-point effort of the season. Jackson has had hot and cold stretches throughout the season, and he's currently cooled down. Across his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 9.4 points on just 36.7 percent shooting from the field and 17.9 percent from deep.

Jackson will start Wednesday's game against Portland, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old fell out of the rotation Monday against the Raptors but will make his first start since Jan. 10 with Dennis Smith (back), Wayne Ellington (calf), Rodney McGruder (elbow) and Sekou Doumbouya (illness) all unavailable Wednesday. Jackson averaged 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 23.6 minutes over his last nine games before sitting Monday as a coach's decision.

Jackson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Pistons' 118-104 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing at least 20 minutes in all but one of the Pistons' first nine games coming out of the All-Star break, Jackson found himself out of the rotation entirely while head coach Dwane Casey elected to roll with Frank Jackson (17 minutes) and Hamidou Diallo (27 minutes) as the backup wings behind Wayne Ellington and Saddiq Bey. Jackson's demotion comes after he had converted just 38.7 percent of his field-goal attempts and 18.5 percent of his three-point attempts so far in the second half of the season. The 24-year-old has had periods of relevance in 12-team leagues this season thanks to his ability to put up points, but the recent addition of Diallo via trade looks like it could hinder Jackson's outlook for the rest of 2020-21.

Jackson tallied 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, five rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is on a nice two-game run where he's totaled 31 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals with just three turnovers. He's been a steady contributor for the Pistons since February. Over the past 18 games, Jackson has averaged 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Jackson totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists and two rebounds in a 109-99 loss to the Spurs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was able to score in double figures for the first time since returning from the All-Star break. The forward missed the last two games of the first half due to an illness, but has been the Pistons' second leading scorer since Feb. 1 at 15.8 points per game. Expect Jackson to continue to be a consistent scoring option throughout the second half of the season for Detroit.

Jackson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hornets
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old missed the last two games of the first half due to an illness, but he's ready to go coming out of the All-Star break. Jackson is averaging 13.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 24.9 minutes this season and has mostly come off the bench for Detroit.

Jackson (illness) will not play Thursday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
An illness will keep Jackson sidelined for a second straight contest. Also, Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is questionable. With both players out Wednesday, Sekou Doumbouya, Svi Mykhailiuk and Rodney McGruder saw extra minutes.

Jackson won't play Wednesday against the Raptors due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Delon Wright (groin) is out and Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is doubtful, so the Pistons are set to be short on firepower Wednesday. Jackson will have one game to retake the court Thursday against the Knicks before the All-Star break. Saddiq Bey, Svi Mykhailiuk and Sekou Doumbouya are primed for heavier workloads for Detroit.

Jackson scored 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with six rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson registered a 29.2 usage rate and topped 20 points for the second time in his last nine games. As has become the norm, he also collected plenty of rebounds, but otherwise had a relatively empty line. After racking up a flurry of defensive stats during a five-game stretch to begin February, Jackson has just two steals and three blocks across his last six games.
