Jackson led the Grizzlies with 13 points and that pretty much says it all about Friday’s game. Jackson did add value defensively with one steal and two blocks but could have had an even bigger performance if his shot dropped from beyond the arc.
Rotoworld:
Jackson finished with his highest scoring total of the campaign and also contributed as a rebounder and defender.
