Jaren Jackson Jr.

The Grizzlies played Saturday's game without Ja Morant, who was a late scratch due to illness. Jackson took on more of the offensive workload, and while the field-goal percentage wasn't great, the overall stat line was solid. The double-double was Jackson's second in four games and sixth of the season, and the rebound category is where fantasy managers will want to see more production in 2025-26. Unless Jackson goes on an absolute tear next week, he'll average fewer than six rebounds per game for the second straight season. If there is improvement in that category, Trip will likely boast a higher fantasy floor than he currently does.

Draymond Green shared his wisdom for Memphis center Jaren Jackson Jr. after Tuesday's Golden State Warriors vs. Grizzlies game.

The most notable flaw in Jackson Jr.'s game is his lack of rebounding production, but that wasn't the case on Monday. Though it wasn't enough to get the win, JJJ set a new career-high for rebounds, eclipsing his previous best mark of 13, which he has done twice over the last two seasons. It was a nice boost in Monday's game, but it isn't something that managers should grow accustomed to. Memphis still has three more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Jackson had two blocks against the Thunder, giving him five over his last three games. The 25-year-old power forward led the Grizzlies offense with Ja Morant out and Desmond Bane struggling. Jackson had 27 points, but was hardly efficient on his 21 shots. He was good from behind the three-point line as he made 5-of-7 three-point attempts. Jackson has been a top-20 fantasy player since the All-Star break.

Jackson took an elbow to the face during Tuesday's win over the Jazz, but was able to return. His absence from the injury report for Thursday means he's good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
