Jaren Jackson Jr. to Make First Start of the Season

Jaren Jackson Jr. is set to make his first start since August 3, 2020, when the Memphis Grizzlies play the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. Jackson Jr. suffered a torn meniscus in the NBA’s post-season bubble last season and couldn’t return until April 21.

Jackson Jr. has been effective when called upon, averaging 26.9 FanDuel Fantasy Points through his seven games played. The Grizzlies haven’t been shy with using Jackson Jr. when he’s been available, as he ranks second on the team with a usage percentage of 26.7%. He’s moderately priced on the single-game slate at FanDuel, carrying a $10,500 salary.
