ANALYSISThough
Ja Morant provided the biggest highlight by hitting the game-winning shot in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies wouldn't have secured the victory had it not been for Jackson's offensive contributions. He did more than just score, though, as Jackson also finished just two boards shy of a double-double. Jackson's value is coming from his offensive numbers of late. He's scored at least 20 points in each of his last six outings while surpassing the 30-point mark three times in that span.
