Smart will not play Tuesday against the Spurs due to right ankle soreness, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

EDGE Analysis

This has the look of a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and Smart is one of several key players being held out. Luke Kennard, Nick Smith and Kobe Bufkin could see expanded roles with this news.

Smart finished Monday's 119-110 loss to the Thunder with 19 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Smart put in solid work as Luka Doncic's direct fill-in during the loss. The former's 19-point effort marked the veteran's third-highest scoring total of the season. Since his recent spike corresponds to Doncic's absence, we should expect continued output from Smart while the team's offensive catalyst is sidelined.

Smart ended Thursday's 119-115 victory over the 76ers with seven points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Luka Doncic left Thursday's game early with hamstring soreness, putting Smart in a larger role at point guard for the Lakers. Doncic is set for further imaging, and if he misses upcoming contests, Smart could see increased minutes and responsibilities.

Smart registered 12 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 129-118 victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

With Austin Reaves (calf) nearing a return to the lineup, Smart is in danger of losing his starting job at shooting guard. The veteran guard has averaged 13.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.6 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, and Smart should still maintain a consistent role if he eventually winds up back on the bench.

Smart (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Raptors, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Saturday's matchup against Portland and failed to return, but he managed to avoid a significant injury and will be available for the second half of his team's back-to-back. The Oklahoma State product was held to single digits in the scoring column in four of his first six games in January but has since turned it around, scoring in double figures in each of his last three appearances.

Smart (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 132-116 loss to the Trail Blazers and did not return.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was one point shy of matching his season-high mark before limping to the locker room with 7:56 remaining in the contest. The veteran guard finished with 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes. He returned to the bench late in the fourth, though his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against Toronto.

Smart (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Smart left for the locker room, though he was spotted limping to the back. The veteran guard should be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Smart notched one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Despite some healthy workloads, Smart continues to struggle for the Lakers. Over his last seven outings, he's seeing 31.7 minutes per night with averages of 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting from the field.

Smart ended Wednesday's 107-91 loss to San Antonio with two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals in 34 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Smart continues to see a lot of minutes for the Lakers, though his fantasy impact has been underwhelming. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 6.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes per contest.

Smart produced six points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

With both Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura nursing calf injuries, Smart has started four consecutive games and eight of his last nine. During that latter stretch, Smart has averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 28.9 minutes per game.
