The Pacers converted Jackson's two-way contract to a three-year deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson has played on a two-way contract in each of the last three years, but his strong play this season has led to the Pacers rewarding the four-year pro with a standard contract that is partially guaranteed next season and non-guaranteed for the third year, per Tony East of Forbes.com. Jackson has scored in double digits in six of his last seven outings (one start), and over that span he has averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 threes over 24.1 minutes per contest.

Jackson closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

This was a strong showing for Jackson as he continues to play a sizable role for the shorthanded Pacers. Over his last four games, he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 26.2 minutes.

Jackson racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson tallied at least 19 points for the third time in his past four appearances, continuing to provide Indiana with an offensive spark off the bench. While his recent production has been encouraging, being on a two-way contract, Jackson only has a limited number of games remaining. At best, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, if and when his role is moderately significant.

Jackson won't start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson got the starting nod in Tuesday's overtime win over New York but will slide to the second unit Wednesday. Over eight appearances off the bench since the beginning of January, the two-way player has averaged 8.8 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. However, Indiana will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so he'll likely see a sizable workload.

Jackson racked up 19 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 overtime win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson chipped in across all major categories, taking advantage of what could end up being a nice opportunity. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, there is a world where Jackson could have a meaningful role moving forward. Coupled with the fact that Indiana is likely to rest players on a consistent basis, managers could certainly give Jackson a look as a speculative fantasy piece.

Jackson will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Johnny Furphy (knee) sidelined, Jackson will enter the starting five. As a starter this season (nine games), the two-way player has averaged 9.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.6 minutes per contest.

Jackson had 24 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, three steals and one rebound over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

With multiple key contributors sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jackson saw increased burn and torched the nets, albeit in a losing effort. The two-way player tied the team-high mark in points and led Indiana with a season-high-tying three steals. Still, the 27-year-old guard logged just one minute over Indiana's previous five outings, so he isn't expected to see meaningful minutes unless injuries arise in the backcourt.

Jackson (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will be returning following a one-game absence. With Bennedict Mathurin returning to action Monday, Jackson will likely just be an emergency depth option.

Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson could miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. Bennedict Mathurin (thumb, questionable), T.J. McConnell and Ben Sheppard would be candidates for extra minutes if Jackson is unable to suit up.

Jackson (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson will be sidelined for at least one game with right ankle soreness, but head coach Rick Carlisle notes that the guard could be available for Monday's tilt in Atlanta. With Jackson out of the lineup Friday, the door is open for T.J. McConnell and Ben Sheppard to take on a more sizable role in the backcourt rotation.
