Fantasy Impact
Jackson has seen inconsistent minutes throughout the season and now gets a fresh opportunity with the Pacers. He’s averaging 6.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in 16.8 minutes across 38 games. He’ll likely open his tenure with L.A. as Brook Lopez’s primary backup.
Jackson saw 25 minutes off the bench against the Rockets on Monday, marking his first time reaching that playing time since mid-December. He contributed 6 points on 2-of-5 shooting along with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Fantasy Impact
Jackson has a chance to appear in his first game since December 22, when he suffered a concussion. Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed on January 10 that Jackson had cleared concussion protocol, but he has missed the team’s last three games while working on his conditioning. If he returns Saturday, he could see extended minutes with Pascal Siakam (rest) ruled out.
