Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Rough night despite start
Rotowire
Jackson-Davis amassed two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 118-94 Play-In Game loss to Sacramento.
Jackson-Davis got the starting nod Tuesday but was limited to just 11 minutes in the loss. He was simply outclassed here, resulting in the Warriors leaning more into their veterans in an attempt to get the victory. While it has been a disappointing season for Golden State, Jackson-Davis has been a positive, carving out a consistent role on a team in need of a youth movement.
Jackson-Davis registered 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-110 victory over the Rockets.
Jackson-Davis had been riding a tough offensive stretch in recent weeks after scoring in single digits in five of his previous six appearances, but he came out of nowhere to deliver the best offensive performance of his young NBA career. Jackson-Davis has started in each of the Warriors' last five games, and with Golden State going undefeated in that stretch while limiting opponents to 100 or fewer points three times in that stretch, the rookie will likely remain in the starting unit, thus experiencing an uptick in his fantasy upside.

Jackson-Davis was responsible for three of the Warriors' five blocks Friday, as he reached that mark for the seventh time this season. It was his second straight start due to Jonathan Kuminga (knee) being sidelined, and Jackson-Davis should continue to see meaningful minutes as long as Kuminga remains out. As a starter this season, Jackson-Davis is averaging 12.9 points on 71.2 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 blocks over 27.5 minutes per game.
Jackson-Davis notched eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 101-93 victory over the Magic.
Jackson-Davis started Wednesday due to Jonathan Kuminga being ruled out with left knee soreness. Jackson-Davis took advantage of the extended playing time, as he eclipsed 30 minutes of playing time for the first time this season. His 14 rebounds marked the seventh time he's reached double-digit boards this year, and he was one rebound shy of matching his season high set Dec. 22 against the Wizards. Jackson-Davis will likely return to the bench for Friday's game against the Hornets should Kuminga be able to suit up.
