Jackson

Jackson was the 20th, and final addition to Toronto’s training camp roster, but it’s unlikely he’ll remain with the team through the regular season.

We’re glad he’s feeling better, but this changes nothing fantasy-wise.

Lamb only made it through nine minutes of Monday’s game against the Heat before being forced to exit due to the injury, a game in which Len and Jackson were both absent from altogether. Lamb’s absence should mean more minutes for Donte DiVincenzo, who posted a 12/5/3 line with four treys and three steals in 32 minutes on Monday, and he’s looking like a must-start player this evening with so many Kings on the shelf. Damian Jones will continue to start at center and has been alright, while Jackson is a negligible fantasy option.

Suddenly they feel fine, apparently. This doesn’t change a whole lot, as Damian Jones is still the center of choice in Sacramento while Jackson doesn’t play enough to affect anything. Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) was also ruled out with this pair but is now a game-time decision, so we’ll let you know his status shortly.

He’ll miss his second straight contest, but this doesn’t move the fantasy needle one bit.

Even if Jackson plays he is not a fantasy target, so no need to worry about his status.

He’s not a rotation player in Sacramento, so his absence from the active roster won’t have any impact in fantasy hoops.

While Jackson and Lyles don’t have clear paths to minutes, the Kings dealing away Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield could lead to some value for DiVincenzo. He was far from a standard-league asset in Milwaukee, but the makeup of the Kings is quite different, so be sure to keep an eye on him on a busy night.

The Kings also added Donte DiVincenzo on Thursday, so this isn’t an ideal spot for Jackson as he’ll be competing with Harrison Barnes, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb for minutes. He’s just a watch-list candidate in deeper leagues in case the Kings make more moves at the deadline.

He hasn’t played since late January, but with Jerami Grant finally back and guys like Saddiq Bey and Hamidou Diallo active, it’s safe to ignore Jackson.
