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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
