Jackson won't return to Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right ankle injury, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old suffered the injury early in the third quarter, and he headed to the locker room after making the free throw to complete the three-point play. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Jackson's availability for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday is in doubt.

Jackson scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3PT, 5-8 FT) to go with six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in a 116-106 loss to Golden State on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson started hot, scoring 12 points in the first half, but disappeared in the second as Golden State pulled away late scoring just two lay-ups on 2-of-6 shooting. The forward has been a solid contributor on offense outside of a quiet night against Cleveland, averaging 17.3 points per game punctuated by a 27-point performance on Monday. With Blake Griffin in concussion protocol, Jackson will likely continue his scoring output in the coming matchups.

Jackson had 27 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block during a 128-120 loss at Atlanta on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson's first start for Detroit saw him record his highest scoring total since playing for Phoenix. Though said performance may suggest future consideration for starts, he will find that difficult to obtain behind forwards Blake Griffin and Jerami Grant. On the plus side, it appears Jackson will be considered a key piece in Detroit's rotation.

Jackson is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has fared well so far off the bench for the Pistons, averaging 12.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes. With Jackson sliding into the starting five along with rookie Saddiq Bey, Delon Wright will be coming off the bench.

Jackson tallied 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson is making early moves for the Sixth Man of the Yeat, as he led the team in points off the bench after achieving that goal once in the preseason. Jackson had stints with Suns and Grizzlies and was also sent down to the G-League last season, but couldn't gain any traction with either team. So far, he seems to have found new life in Detroit, showing why he went fourth in the 2017 draft. He'll lead from the bench for the time being, but a fight with Delon Wright for a starting role could be looming.

Jackson recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3PT), seven rebounds and two assists in the 97-86 win over Washington on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson had his best pre-season performance in the win Thursday. The forward was easily the best player for Detroit, after he posted a well-rounded game. Jackson was able to show a glimpse of what he was to offer, after he left Memphis for Detroit in the offseason. There are plenty of positions open for starting time heading into the season and Jackson will need to continue this type of performance if he wants to see the court.

Jackson is finalizing a deal with the Pistons, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has struggled to find a place in the league since being selected fourth by the Suns in the 2017 NBA Draft. He spent two seasons in Phoenix before getting dealt to Memphis last year. After a G-League stint, he ended up averaging 9.0 points and 2.5 rebounds across 17.3 minutes in 22 games for the Grizzlies. While he will need to make an impression right away for any chance at a spot in the rotation, the 23-year-old will look for a fresh start in Detroit.

Jackson finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one board, four assists, and one steal in 20 minutes of a 120-115 loss to Orlando on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson scored in double figures for the fifth straight game while also providing one of his team's highlights of the night when he showed off a series of fakes to reach the basket for the bucket despite the foul. Jackson has had a solid month of March, and but what made this outing unique was the efficiency he showed from the floor, getting the job done despite taking fewer than 10 shots in the contest.

Jackson went for 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 118-101 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has enjoyed a great run off the bench for the Grizzlies and he's now scored at least 16 points in four straight contests. He's not expected to crack the starting lineup any time soon, but he should remain a decent fantasy contributor if he keeps scoring like this moving forward.

Jackson provided 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Friday's 121-96 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson has emerged as a vital component for the team due to the absence of Jaren Jackson (knee) and Brandon Clarke (quad). The Grizzlies seem content to bring him in with the second unit, which keeps his salary low in DFS play. While Memphis continues to deal with losses in the frontcourt, Jackson is a viable budget pick in all formats.
