Jaren Jackson Jr. is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson is battling an illness, but it is not expected to keep him sidelined on Wednesday. He is averaging 22.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over his last 10 games. Fantasy managers should confirm his status closer to the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff.

Jaren Jackson Jr. reached the 20-point mark for the eighth time in his last 11 games since December 15, finishing with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, three blocks, two steals, and two assists across 35 minutes in Tuesday's victory over the Spurs. The 26-year-old forward came one board shy of what would have been his third double-double of the season.

Fantasy Impact

While Jackson has been a disappointment from a fantasy perspective this year, his recent scoring uptick offers encouragement. With Memphis navigating a wave of injuries to key rotation players, he'll be counted on to shoulder a heavy load on both ends of the floor moving forward.

Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies offense Friday night, scoring 25 points (12-15 FG, 0-3 3PT, 1-5 FT) while also recording one steal, dishing out two assists, and grabbing one rebound in a 128-121 loss to the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson Jr. continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing one or more rebounds and scoring 15 or more points in each of his last five games. The 26-year-old has offered fantasy managers one of the more stable options as part of an underperforming Memphis starting five, averaging 18.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 24.5% so far this season.

Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded a team-high 31 points (11-25 FG, 2-7 3PT, 7-9 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and four blocks in Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Jackson has now scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven games and is averaging 24 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 steals and three blocks per game over that span. He will look to carry that strong play into Tuesday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.
