EDGE Analysis

Smart will miss his first game of the season Saturday. He's in the midst of the biggest role of his career, with the guard seeing 37.0 minutes per game. His shot hasn't been falling (25.5 percent from the field), but he's averaging 4.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 steals. Smart's absence could open up more minutes for Josh Richardson, Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith, who is also suffering from an illness but traveled with the team.
