It's usually pretty tough to trust rookies -- and, with Josh Jackson, that's definitely true. On one end of the spectrum, he's put together two games of 30 or more FanDuel points, but on the other, he's failed to reach double-digits twice this season. It is for that reason, among others, that Jackson's only a tournament play right now.
One of those others is Jackson's inconsistent role and playing time. With T.J. Warren and Marquese Chriss starting and playing most of the minutes that forward spots, Jackson has gotten the leftovers and garbage time in blowouts. Last night, the Suns were out of the game by halftime and Jackson played more than 28 minutes. It wasn't a matter of the rotation, though, which means he could be closer to his season average of 21.9 minutes.
On the plus side, the Phoenix Suns are likely to be without Dudley and Chandler on the second half of a back-to-back set. That provides an opportunity for Jackson to get more run against a Los Angeles Lakers team allowing top-2 production (42.5 FD points per game) to the small forward position in 2017.
