2023 Fantasy Outlook
Much like his rookie season, Jackson flashed some upside last year but was never able to establish a consistent role. He averaged just 16.5 minutes per night, tallying 7.2 points to go with 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. Prior to his sophomore season, there had been rumblings of a Myles Turner trade, a move that many had hoped would open the door for Jackson. Fast-forward 12 months, and Turner now appears to be a long-term piece for the Pacers, putting a pin in what Jackson might be able to do. His per-minute upside remains intriguing, something that should at least keep him on the fantasy radar. While he isn't worth drafting in most leagues, if he can secure an 18-minute role as the primary backup behind Turner, he could have some sporadic streaming value throughout the season. Should Turner miss any time at any point in the season, Jackson would become someone to snap up in a hurry. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking on larger role of late
CIndiana Pacers
March 30, 2023
Jackson has logged over 20 minutes in each of Indiana's last three contests. With Myles Turner shelved over that span due to a back injury, Jackson is averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.
ANALYSIS
Jackson's high field-goal efficiency and shot blocking combine for an easy fantasy success recipe, so he's an alluring option on the wire. Proceed with caution, however. Jackson is sometimes a defensive liability and somewhat clumsy on offense -- the results can be inconsistent.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Jackson's rookie campaign got off to a quiet start, as he spent much of the early part of the season in the G League and averaged less than five minutes per contest through his first 11 games with Indiana. His opportunity took a dramatic turn upward when Myles Turner suffered a season-ending foot injury in mid-January and when Domantas Sabonis was traded in early February. Over his final 24 NBA contests, Jackson put up per-game averages of 11.5 points, 5.5 boards, 0.7 three-pointers, 2.0 blocked shots and 1.0 steals in just over 20 minutes while shooting 57.4 percent from the field and 70.0 percent from the charity stripe. The blocks are particularly alluring, and the Kentucky product showed that he can have an impact on offense when given the opportunity. The Pacers are in rebuild mode, but they currently have a now-healthy Turner slated to start at center, not to mention Jalen Smith. Goga Bitadze figures to see a fair amount of backup minutes in what is shaping up to be a crowded frontcourt that also includes Oshae Brissett and Terry Taylor, so it's difficult to gauge exactly how much playing time will be allotted to Jackson. Much hinges on the long-anticipated but yet-to-happen trade of Turner, which would open up more opportunities for all of Indiana's young big men.
Jackson was the 22nd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He's shown plenty of raw potential and has been able to leverage his athleticism to become a prototypical big -- a shot-blocker, rebounder and lob finisher. While he's unpolished, that's nothing out of the ordinary for someone drafted post-lottery. For the Pacers, Jackson will compete for depth center minutes with Goga Bitadze, though Jackson could, in theory, play some power forward if the floor-spacing Myles Turner is in at center. Ultimately, he probably won't be a regular rotation player this season.
