Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Efficient performance in OT loss

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.
