Jackson chipped in 31 points (12-23 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
Jackson led Memphis in scoring while putting up an efficient 7-for-13 line from beyond the arc. The seven triples tied his career-high mark, which he initially established March 20 against the Warriors. As has typically been the case for Jackson, his scoring came with little production as a rebounder or distributor, though he did tie his career-best total with three thefts in Friday's defeat.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Scores 15 points vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Jackson ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 108-90 win over Detroit.
Jackson has been on a very productive stretch in recent weeks, and he's taking advantage of the Grizzlies' rebuild approach to see extended minutes in the final weeks of the season. He's now scored in double digits in 11 straight starts, averaging 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest.
Jackson recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 win over the Bucks.
Jackson has been playing extremely well since being promoted to a starting role, scoring in double digits in each of his 10 consecutive starts while posting solid numbers overall. This was his first double-double in that span, but the rookie out of South Carolina has averaged 17.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that stretch.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Career-high 35 points in loss
Rotowire
Jackson supplied 35 points (11-19 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 137-116 loss to Golden State.
The 2023 second-round pick continues to take advantage of all the Grizzlies' injuries and absences, setting a new career scoring high Wednesday as he produced 30-plus points for the second time in the last six games. Jackson is averaging 25.0 points, 5.5 boards, 4.0 threes, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 37.5 minutes a contest over his first six NBA starts, and the 19-year-old forward should remain in a prominent role in the rotation even if players like Vince Williams (knee) start trickling back into the lineup.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Efficient performance in OT loss
Rotowire
Jackson logged 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three steals across 44 minutes in Monday's 121-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
Making his third straight start while Vince Williams (knee) was sidelined once again, Jackson delivered an efficient scoring performance, highlighted by a 4-for-8 showing from downtown. He also paired the offensive production with some rare numbers on the defensive end; his three steals exceeded his output (two) from his previous 13 games combined. While Jackson doesn't possess a well-rounded fantasy profile, he's getting every opportunity to put up shots while the injury-riddled Grizzlies remain without Williams and several other key contributors. Jackson has scored at least 19 points in each of his last five games, averaging 23.2 overall during that stretch. He's shot 48.1 percent from the field and 85.7 percent from the free-throw line in that time while also averaging 3.2 three-pointers and 4.6 rebounds.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Rejoins second unit
Rotowire
Jackson will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Washington.
Memphis' lineups usually change by the day with the amount of injuries on the roster, and the coaching staff has been experimenting with different rotations. Despite the move to the bench, Jackson will likely maintain a big role after posting 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Thunder.

Rotowire
Jackson notched 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-93 loss to the Thunder.
Jackson missed the previous game with a knee issue, but given the workload he saw Sunday, it was likely a precaution. Memphis' rotations have been unpredictable due to injuries and how they've handled the eligibility of two-way players, but Jackson will usually have a key role when active.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against Oklahoma City.
Jackson will return from a one-game absence due to left knee soreness. Efficiency has been a struggle of late for the 19-year-old, who is averaging 10.0 points and 4.7 rebounds on 26.5 percent shooting (11.3 FGA/G) in his last three games. With the Grizzlies down so many bodies, Jackson could end up as a featured offensive option by default.

Rotowire
Jackson (knee) will start at shooting guard in Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Jackson missed Friday's game versus Orlando, but he remains day-to-day. Luke Kennard (knee) is also questionable, while John Konchar (ankle) and Jordan Goodwin (ankle) are doubtful. If Jackson gets the green light, he'd likely see significant minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Out for Friday
Rotowire
Jackson (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus Orlando.
Jackson was carrying a questionable tag before the Grizzlies ruled him out for Friday's contest, so that likely means that he's day-to-day. In the midst of a non-contending season, the Grizzlies have been erring on the side of caution with players who have been nursing injuries in recent weeks. With Jackson out, Lamar Stevens and Jake LaRavia could be asked to cover more minutes.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to left knee soreness.
Jackson's status will presumably depend on how his knee is feeling closer to tipoff. If he is ultimately unable to go, Lamar Stevens, John Konchar and Jake LaRavia are candidates to see increased run at forward.
Jackson amassed 17 points (4-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.
Jackson might have ended with a decent stat line, but he earned nearly half his points from the charity stripe. Jackson has been remarkably consistent as a scorer in recent weeks, even if he's prone to deliver some inefficient performances, and the numbers back that up. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last 10 appearances off the bench, averaging 16.5 points per game and shooting 45.2 percent from the field in that span.

Jackson (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game versus Portland.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: On track to play Friday
Rotowire
Coach Taylor Jenkins said Jackson (quadriceps) will likely play Friday against Portland, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Jackson is officially listed as questionable due to a right quad contusion, but it sounds like the rookie second-round pick will play through the pain.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Jackson is being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers due to a right quad contusion.
If Jackson isn't able to give it a go Friday night, the Grizzlies could go into that game with just eight active players, so guys like Ziaire Williams, Yuta Watanabe, Vince Williams and Jake LaRavia would get all the run they could handle. Check back for another update on Jackson following Friday's shootaround.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Struggles with shot
Rotowire
Jackson supplied six points (1-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds across 23 minutes during Monday's 111-86 loss to the Nets.
Jackson had a nightmare showing from the field, but the Grizzlies are seemingly content with letting him play through his mistakes. Jackson is going to have an expanded role down the stretch, but like with most rookies, there are going to be growing pains.
