Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson will make his return after missing Tuesday's game due to a right knee contusion. The expectation is that Ziaire Williams and Xavier Tillman Sr. will see reduced roles in the rotation. However, Tillman should still have a fairly significant role with Bismack Biyombo being waived. Fantasy managers should expect Jackson to resume his normal role on Friday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The stud forward appeared to be fine during his 32 minutes of playing time on Sunday. Fellow forward Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful, which means David Roddy could be asked to enter the rotation and play a bigger role. However, Vince Williams Jr. would be the better streaming choice given how well he has been playing lately.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. put in a superb all-around performance in Friday's 115-113 overtime loss against Portland. He recorded 30 points on 11-for-17 shooting, posted his first double-double of the season by grabbing 10 rebounds, and capped off his line with three assists, one steal, and three blocks. Half of Jackson Jr.'s points came from downtown with 5-for-8 shooting. The 24-year-old boasts two 30-point performances in three games, and he's been a blocking machine as usual, averaging 2.5 swats for the year, but the Grizzlies are still winless six games into the season. Jackson Jr. was the starting center Friday for Memphis after David Roddy took Xavier Tillman Sr.'s spot in the unit. The team returns to action Sunday in a rematch against the Blazers, and Jackson Jr. showed on Friday that this matchup suits him perfectly, so we can expect to see another big performance from him.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. is focused on improving his rebounding after struggling on the glass during the FIBA World Cup. Jackson Jr. averaged a career-high 6.8 boards in the NBA last season but could only get 2.9 rebounds during the World Cup and took a lot of heat because of it. "(Rebounding) needs to be more of a staple of things I think about all the time," Jackson said. " It's on my mind, it's on my brain. You always think about things you can get better at. I have so many different responsibilities on the floor. That's a big one for our team." Jackson Jr.'s two-way ability has already made him a highly valuable fantasy asset, but he would become an even bigger piece if he can get close to averaging a double-double with rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. paced Team USA on defense while contributing on the offensive end in a big way. He ended the game with 14 points, five rebounds, and three blocks. The only American with more points was Jalen Brunson who didn't miss a single shot. Jackson has shown why he was voted Defensive Player of the Year this season as he continues to anchor a smaller US team. Spain was their toughest opponent yet and the team has two more exhibitions before the World Cup kicks off.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was voted the best player at Team USA's world cup training camp by his teammates. The Athletic conducted the poll and multiple players stated that Jackson was the most impressive. For what seems to be an undersized USA team, Jackson will play an important role in anchoring their defense for this World Cup run. The team's first scrimmage will be against Puerto Rico in Las Vegas on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was named the 2022-23 NBA Defensive Player of the Year on Monday night. Jackson, who received 56 first-place votes, had an efficient year despite beginning it on the injured list. He averaged 18.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals, making this the best season of his career. The 23-year-old has improved since entering the league and hasn't slowed down. However, he has missed plenty of time because of injuries, which will continue negatively impacting his fantasy stock until he proves he can remain healthy.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. put up a game-high 31 points in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Lakers. He got off to a good start with eight first-quarter points and also had to play a major role on offense at the end of the game after Ja Morant (hand) was forced to exit the contest. Jackson Jr. finished with 13-for-21 shooting from the field and nailed two of his four attempts from deep. He completed his work with five rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks. Jackson Jr. is one of the candidates for the Defensive Player of the Year award, but he has also proven his offensive ability in recent weeks and will look to post his fifth 30-point game in six outings in Wednesday's Game 2.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. went off for a game-high 36 points on 12-for-18 shooting in Friday's 137-114 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks reserves. He was a fantastic 5-for-6 with the three-ball and totaled a little bit of everything across the board, picking up four rebounds, two assists one steal and three blocks. Jackson Jr. has put all of his offensive moves on display lately, going for 30-plus points three times in four games. The offensive numbers are always a nice bonus with Jackson Jr., who will finish the season as the league's top shot-blocker, having averaged three swats per game.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's currently dealing with calf soreness while two other starters also are late additions to the injury report. This could turn into just a rest day for Jackson as this calf issue didn't look like too much of an issue on Tuesday. If he remains on the sidelines, then Xavier Tillman Sr. (ankle) will get a lot more playing time if he ends up playing. Santi Aldama could also be worth a look for a streaming option if Tillman is also out.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. put on an offensive show against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday evening. The first-time All-Star registered 37 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks while shooting 14-for-20 overall, 1-for-5 from three, and 8-for-11 from the charity stripe. He's been on a tear lately as he's averaged 29.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.4 blocks per game over the last five contests. That could change a bit now that Ja Morant is returning to the team, but Jackson should be a top fantasy big man down the stretch.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is good news after the 23-year-old was considered questionable coming into this game. Jackson has been a dominant option for the Grizzlies lately with Ja Morant being out. He's averaging 28.0 points, 7.0 boards, 1.7 assists over the last three games. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him in their lineups for Monday's slate.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (calf) is listed as questionable against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Jackson has been stuffing the stat sheet over the past month, but appears to be dealing with some soreness in his calf. Jackson will presumably test his legs during pregame workouts, but if ultimately ruled out, look for Santi Aldama to see the biggest boost for fantasy value. David Roddy, John Konchar and Xavier Tillman are also candidates to see increased minutes if Jackson sits.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. netted a game-high 31 points and had four blocks as the team took down Golden State 133-119 on Saturday. He made three attempts from deep and shot 12-for-22 overall, completing his line with seven rebounds and three assists. Jackson Jr. has really found his scoring touch in recent outings, averaging 28.0 points across the last three games. However, with Ja Morant set to return to the team, Jackson Jr. will have to give up some of the touches which have helped him to average nearly 30 points a night.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. was the only player that really showed up on Wednesday for their game against the Miami Heat. He was the only player on the team with more than 14 points and the starters didn't even see more than 28 minutes because the game got out of hand. Overall, he ended with 25 points, nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block while going 10-for-15 from the floor and 4-for-7 from beyond the arc. Due to his play on both sides of the ball, he's currently a top-15 player in nine-category leagues.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant filled the stat sheet in Wednesday night's 117-111 win over the Utah Jazz. In 34 minutes, Morant logged 20 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals. The 23-year-old stud shot only 8-for-26 from the field, but with the help of power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies were able to come out on top. In 31 minutes, Jackson had an excellent performance, recording 26 points, nine rebounds, five steals and four blocks while shooting 8-for-19 from the field. Brandon Clarke also logged a humble eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists, four steals and three blocks in 31 minutes. Available in 41.7 percent of ESPN leagues, Clarke should be considered a viable streaming option in deeper formats.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (illness) will play and start Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Jackson missed last game due to a non-COVID illness but had three days to rest up and should see no restrictions on Sunday. Santi Aldama was masterful without Jackson, scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds on Thursday. However, Aldama will likely head back to the bench and lose most of his short-term fantasy value.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers because of right thigh soreness, opening the door for Santi Aldama to enter the starting lineup and finish with 21 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 4-for-7 from deep. If Jackson is ruled out again, Aldama should be classified as a must-start fantasy option, even more so if Ja Morant (wrist) doesn't play either.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This doesn't come as a shock considering he was listed as doubtful coming into the game. Santi Aldama will slide into the starting five with Jackson on the sideline. It's a tough matchup for Aldama, but he's worth streaming considering on Thursday. The Grizzlies are thin at the frontcourt, so Aldama should get plenty of minutes. Xavier Tillman Sr. will continue to start at center and will have increased value until Steven Adams (knee) returns.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's game against Cleveland. The Grizzlies are finishing off a back-to-back situation and the team might elect to rest Jackson Jr., who has a sore right thigh. The 23-year-old had another productive game against Portland on Wednesday and has turned into a big piece for Memphis on both ends of the floor. He is averaging 16.5 points for the campaign with 6.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks. With Steven Adams (knee) out, the Grizzlies frontcourt has already taken a big hit and Jackson Jr.'s absence would be a further blow. Brandon Clarke, who dropped to the bench in favor of Xavier Tillman on Wednesday, should find his way back to the starting unit against the Cavaliers if Jackson Jr. indeed can't play.
