Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Explodes for 33 points in win
Rotowire
Jackson recorded 33 points (13-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 win over Minnesota.
Though Ja Morant provided the biggest highlight by hitting the game-winning shot in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies wouldn't have secured the victory had it not been for Jackson's offensive contributions. He did more than just score, though, as Jackson also finished just two boards shy of a double-double. Jackson's value is coming from his offensive numbers of late. He's scored at least 20 points in each of his last six outings while surpassing the 30-point mark three times in that span.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Uncertain to play Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Jackson is dealing with thigh soreness that could keep him out of action Thursday, and it would be his first missed game since Oct. 25 if he sits out. With Santi Aldama (ankle) also uncertain to play, Jake LaRavia, Brandon Clarke and Jay Huff would be candidates to take Jackson's place in Memphis' starting lineup against the Rockets if the star big man can't play.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Stays hot Monday
Rotowire
Jackson exploded for 35 points (13-23 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block in 34 minutes of play during Monday's 119-104 win over the Mavericks.
With Ja Morant (shoulder), Desmond Bane (ankle), Marcus Smart (finger) and Santi Aldama (ankle) all ruled out, Jackson was given the keys to the offense Monday. Despite what's been a strong start to the season for him, the performance marked just his third double-double of the campaign thus far. He'll likely continue to get this kind of volume so long as the aforementioned players remain sidelined, Morant and Bane in particular.

The big man has scored at least 20 points in six games in a row, averaging 26.7 points and shooting 51.4 percent from the field in that stretch. Those numbers should face a regression once Morant is fully healthy, but for now, Jackson remains a solid contributor in all formats who's putting up above-average scoring numbers compared to his career figures.
