Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will suit up on Saturday versus the Wizards after missing the last two games. The 31-year-old has averaged only 10.1 points in 12 games since arriving in Washington ahead of the trade deadline. However, with Malcolm Brogdon (ankle), Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring), Kyshawn George (ankle), and Khris Middleton (knee) ruled out, Smart has a better chance of doing something meaningful for fantasy managers.

Washington Wizards guardMarcus Smart(illness) will be out of action against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Smart also sat out during Wednesday's contest due to a finger issue, but an illness will keep him off the floor for tonight's game. The 31-year-old veteran guard's absence won't impact fantasy much this evening as he is averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals this season. His next chance to get back on the floor is Saturday versus Brooklyn.

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The veteran was originally ruled out for the game due to an illness, but he has now unexpectedly been upgraded to available. Smart produced a couple of strong outings before landing on the shelf for two games because of his illness. However, he has been far from his best in Washington, averaging 10.9 points, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 steals since joining the team.

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will not return to the lineup on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. There was initially hope that he could be back after missing one game due to an illness, but the team has downgraded Smart's status from questionable to out. Fellow veterans Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) and Corey Kispert (thumb) are also sidelined for Monday's game, putting rookies Kyshawn George, Bub Carrington, and AJ Johnson in a position to eat up as many minutes as they can.

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) remains on the injury report for a non-COVID illness and is considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. The former Defensive Player of the Year was forced to miss the last game against the Denver Nuggets, but may only have to face a one-game absence. If he remains sidelined, however, Bub Carrington should see some added minutes off of the bench while AJ Johnson will likely get some added opportunities as well. Carrington has enjoyed the best month of his season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game in March.

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Smart wasn't originally on the injury report, but it appears he came down with an illness ahead of tip-off. The Wizards will take the cautious approach and hold out Smart for at least one game. The absence of Smart should mean more playing time for AJ Johnson and Bub Carrington. Between the two, Carrington is the much better streaming choice. The 19-year-old has scored double digits in four of his last six games coming into Saturday's contest.

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart has been cleared to suit up for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Smart will make his debut with his new club after being traded from the Memphis Grizzlies. The defensive specialist could be an interesting fantasy contributor if he steps into a significant role with Washington, but the Wizards' plans for the veteran are unknown. The 30-year-old guard has played in 19 games this season, averaging 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest.

The Washington Wizards acquired guard Marcus Smart along with a 2025 first-round pick from the Grizzlies in a multi-team trade that sends two second-round picks to Memphis. Memphis is looking for roster flexibility with the move, and Smart will now join the Wizards backcourt that could definitely use some of his signature defensive intensity. Smart just returned on Wednesday night from a 10-week injury absence and played 18 minutes in the Grizzlies win over the Raptors. He went scoreless in that game and is averaging just 8.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 21.1 minutes in his 19 games this season. He could be an interesting fantasy contributor if he steps into a large role with Washington, but the Wizards' plans for the veteran are unknown right now since they were most likely involved in this trade for the draft capital.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will play on Wednesday versus Toronto. The veteran hasn't been on the court since December 23, so he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction. But with Desmond Bane (ankle) ruled out, Smart could see enough minutes to justify his presence in fantasy lineups against one of the worst teams in the NBA.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. He has been out for 19 games while recovering from a finger injury. Memphis had him as doubtful on the injury report only a couple of days ago, so Smart appears to be making very good progress and may be available on Wednesday night for the first time since Dec. 21. With the loss of Desmond Bane (ankle), Smart could have a significant role to play right away.

Memphis Grizzlies guardMarcus Smart(finger) will be sidelined for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Smart was already considered doubtful earlier in the day due to a right index finger injury. The 30-year-old veteran has suited up for just 18 games in this year's campaign, averaging 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per contest. His next chance to return to the floor is Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets while he continues to deal with a right index finger injury. The 30-year-old hasn't played since December 21, and there hasn't been an official word on when he'll return to the floor. Scottie Pippen Jr. remains a great streaming option, especially in deeper leagues. The third-year guard is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 threes across 22.4 minutes per game while starting in 16 of his 39 appearances.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday against Phoenix. He's nursing a right index finger injury, and the team plans to re-evaluate Smart in a couple of weeks. With Ja Morant (shoulder) also absent and considered week-to-week, Scotty Pippen Jr. has a chance to make his mark in fantasy hoops again. Luke Kennard's fantasy stock also gets a boost from the backcourt injuries. He's built up good momentum in the past seven games, averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists with 50 percent shooting from three-point range.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will miss his third consecutive game with a right index finger injury. The Grizzlies are set to take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, and Scottie Pippen Jr. looks to be the top streaming option yet again. In games that he receives 20-29 minutes, like the last one against the Toronto Raptors, Pippen averages 11.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. Luke Kennard could also serve as an option for fantasy managers looking for three-point production.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will remain out on Thursday against Toronto. This will be his second consecutive absence with a right index finger injury. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard will likely figure more prominently in the rotation with Smart out. The former produced 13 points with 3-for-4 shooting behind the arc in Monday's 114-110 loss to the Clippers. As a good three-point shooter, Kennard can also rack up points in a hurry, but he didn't register a single field-goal attempt in 16 minutes on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will be absent from Monday's game against the Clippers. After recovering from a shoulder injury, Smart hurt his right index finger at the weekend and must come out of the lineup again. Luckily for the Grizzlies, Ja Morant (back) is back in the mix, and Desmond Bane (illness) remains in the lineup. Scotty Pippen Jr. might see additional action due to Smart's absence, but Morant's presence severely limits his fantasy appeal.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Smart is dealing with a shoulder injury that caused him to miss Thursday night's 144-93 win over the Golden State Warriors. The veteran had played in 10 straight games before missing Thursday night's action. In those 10 games Smart has mainly been coming off the bench for Memphis, averaging 10.4 PPG and 4.1 APG in that span. With Ja Morant listed as doubtful, Memphis will be hopeful that Smart is able to play through the pain. If not, expect more playing time for Scottie Pippen Jr. and increased usage for Jaylen Wells.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (shoulder) will not play against the Warriors on Thursday. After initially listing him as doubtful, the team has ruled Smart out for the content. This should result in Scotty Pippen Jr. having a more significant role in the rotation. As a reserve, Pippen Jr. has struggled with providing consistent production this month, averaging 5.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. However, his lone December outing with 20-plus minutes ended with a double-double for Pippen Jr.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (shoulder) is unlikely to play on Thursday versus the Warriors. Like last season, Smart has had trouble staying on the court during the 2024-25 campaign, missing 10 of Memphis' initial 27 games. Even worse, he has averaged only 9.2 points. He could have been in line for more work with Ja Morant (back) questionable. But now it appears Scotty Pippen Jr. could fill the hole at the one against Golden State, with the 24-year-old averaging 14.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 10 starts this season.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Smart reportedly sprained his right ankle during the Grizzlies' game against the Kings, and his availability for Saturday's contest is now in doubt. If Smart is unable to play, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jake LaRavia could see an uptick in playing time off the bench. Smart has been averaging 21.5 minutes per game, with 9.8 points and 1.5 steals, but his most significant impact for Memphis comes on the defensive end. He's also been playing well recently, especially with his playmaking, registering five straight games with five or more assists. Fantasy managers should check back for updates on his status.
