Josh Jackson Fills Up The Stat Sheet
7 years agoPhoenix Sun guard/forward Josh Jackson took full advantage of his starting spot in a 110-102 win over the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. Jackson finished the night with a career-high 29 points on an efficient nine of 16 from the floor to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and one make from downtown. He not only dominated the weak Grizzlies front court on the offensive end, but he also chipped in two steals and two blocks. Jackson returned to the starting lineup with T.J. Warren (tailbone) sidelined after being bumped from the spot with the arrival of Elfrid Payton. Jackson still has a solid rest-of-season outlook whether he is coming off the bench or starting.

Josh Jackson, Trey Lyles Traded To Kings
3 years agoDetroit Pistons guard Josh Jackson and forward Trey Lyles have been traded to the Sacramento Kings. This is a four-team trade that also sends forward Marvin Bagley III to Detroit. Lyles could have a role without Bagley on the roster. However, Chimezie Metu has been playing well and looks like a better fantasy option right now. Jackson will have to compete with newcomers Donte DiVincenzo, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday for playing time. At best, Jackson and Lyles are watch-list candidates in deeper leagues.

Cade Cunningham, Josh Jackson Will Miss Friday’s Game
3 years agoDetroit Pistons shooting guards Cade Cunningham (hip) and Josh Jackson (back) have been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Celtics. Cunningham is battling a hip pointer that has sidelined him for two straight outings, while Jackson is missing his fourth straight due to back spasms. While Rodney McGruder stepped into the starting five in place of Cunningham on Thursday, Frank Jackson led the team in scoring with a 25-point effort off the bench; both players stand out as DFS options while Cunningham and Jackson remain down. Their next opportunity to suit up comes Sunday vs. Minnesota.

Cade Cunningham, Josh Jackson Questionable For Thursday
3 years agoDetroit Pistons shooting guards Cade Cunningham (hip) and Josh Jackson (back) have been tagged as questionable to take the floor for Thursday's contest vs. Minnesota. Cunningham was somewhat of a surprise addition to Tuesday's lineup, although he was limited to just 21 minutes as he works through a hip pointer. Jackson, an integral member of the team's second unit, has been sidelined for the past two games, allowing Cory Joseph, Frank Jackson, and Killian Hayes to all see larger minutes and offensive roles. Cunningham has proven to be as volatile of a DFS option as they come during his rookie year, as fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status prior to tip-off due to the Timberwolves playing at the league's sixth-fastest pace.

Josh Jackson Unlikely To Play Sunday
3 years agoDetroit Pistons forward Josh Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to play 16 minutes on Friday, but continues to deal with back tightness. There's a good chance he sits this one out, so he can try and recover from this issue. Frank Jackson and Rodney McGruder should be asked to play more with Jackson likely sitting out. Jackson is the better fantasy option between the two, but remains a low-end streaming option.
