Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Gets standard contract with Indiana
Rotowire
The Pacers converted Jackson's two-way contract to a three-year deal Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Jackson has played on a two-way contract in each of the last three years, but his strong play this season has led to the Pacers rewarding the four-year pro with a standard contract that is partially guaranteed next season and non-guaranteed for the third year, per Tony East of Forbes.com. Jackson has scored in double digits in six of his last seven outings (one start), and over that span he has averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 threes over 24.1 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Solid line in loss
Rotowire
Jackson closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 loss to the Hornets.
This was a strong showing for Jackson as he continues to play a sizable role for the shorthanded Pacers. Over his last four games, he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 26.2 minutes.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Pops for 21 points in loss
Rotowire
Jackson racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.
Jackson tallied at least 19 points for the third time in his past four appearances, continuing to provide Indiana with an offensive spark off the bench. While his recent production has been encouraging, being on a two-way contract, Jackson only has a limited number of games remaining. At best, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, if and when his role is moderately significant.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Not starting vs. Brooklyn
Rotowire
Jackson won't start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Jackson got the starting nod in Tuesday's overtime win over New York but will slide to the second unit Wednesday. Over eight appearances off the bench since the beginning of January, the two-way player has averaged 8.8 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. However, Indiana will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so he'll likely see a sizable workload.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Across-the-board production
Rotowire
Jackson racked up 19 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 overtime win over the Knicks.
Jackson chipped in across all major categories, taking advantage of what could end up being a nice opportunity. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, there is a world where Jackson could have a meaningful role moving forward. Coupled with the fact that Indiana is likely to rest players on a consistent basis, managers could certainly give Jackson a look as a speculative fantasy piece.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Starting sans Furphy
Rotowire
Jackson will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
With Johnny Furphy (knee) sidelined, Jackson will enter the starting five. As a starter this season (nine games), the two-way player has averaged 9.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.6 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Scores 24 points in loss
Rotowire
Jackson had 24 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three assists, three steals and one rebound over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 loss to Utah.
With multiple key contributors sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jackson saw increased burn and torched the nets, albeit in a losing effort. The two-way player tied the team-high mark in points and led Indiana with a season-high three steals. Still, the 27-year-old guard logged just one minute over Indiana's previous five outings, so he isn't expected to see meaningful minutes unless injuries arise in the backcourt.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Falls out of rotation
Rotowire
Jackson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Pacers' 112-110 loss to the Magic.
Though Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle used 11 players Wednesday, Jackson wasn't included among the group, as the return of Ben Sheppard (calf) from an 11-game absence left no available minutes on the wing. Even if Sheppard hadn't returned, Jackson might have been at risk of falling out of the rotation anyway, after he had been limited to just four minutes of garbage-time run in the Pacers' previous game Monday against the Rockets. Jackson is on a two-way deal with Indiana, so if his playing time remains scarce at the NBA level in future contests, he could be assigned to the G League's Noblesville Boom in order to pick up meaningful minutes.
