AutoDraft Pro AI

Utah Jazz forward Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 22 points, along with five rebounds, three assists, and two steals, leading the Jazz to a 115-111 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night. Despite coach Will Hardy sitting him in the fourth quarter as part of a youth-focused strategy, Jackson Jr.'s strong performance through three quarters was crucial. He was acquired from Memphis in a trade on Feb. 3 and continues to impress.
