EDGE Analysis

Smart shined off the Washington bench in Thursday's contest, leading all bench players in assists and threes made while ending as one of five Wizards with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Smart has tallied 15 or more points in six contests, adding five or more assists in five of those outings.

Smart (finger) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Smart sat out Monday's loss to the Raptors due to injury management for the right index finger partial extensor hood tear he suffered earlier in the season, but he'll be back in action for the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Bilal Coulibaly (hip) sitting out Tuesday, Smart could be a candidate to see his most extensive playing time with the Wizards to date. Through his first seven appearances with Washington, Smart has hovered between 17 and 22 minutes.

Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Smart is still dealing with a partial muscle tear in his right index finger and will be held out of Monday's rematch against Toronto. He has played in the Wizards' last six games and has averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 19.3 minutes per game over that span. With Smart, Khris Middleton (rest) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) all not playing Monday, the Wizards will look for increased contributions from Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Justin Champagnie.

Smart contributed eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Smart has played in only five games for the Wizards since being traded to Washington, and the veteran journeyman has struggled to make an impact with his new team. The 30-year-old is averaging 1.4 steals per game but hasn't been a game-changer offensively with 9.0 points and 1.6 assists per contest throughout five games.

Smart (finger) isn't listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Smart will return to action Monday after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Magic due to a finger injury. Smart made his Wizards debut last Thursday against the Bucks, posting five points, one rebound, one assist and two steals in 17 minutes off the bench during a 104-101 loss.

Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Smart made his Wizards debut Friday against the Bucks and finished with five points, one rebound, one assist and two steals over 17 minutes in a loss. The veteran guard is still dealing with a partial muscle tear in his right index finger, but he could return for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Monday against the Nets.

Smart played 17 minutes and finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two steals, one assist and one rebound in Friday's 104-101 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Smart and fellow trade-deadline pickup Khris Middleton both made their Wizards debuts for the team's first game out of the All-Star break, with the latter getting more minutes (25) and producing the better fantasy line (12 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals) of the two. Though Smart looks like he'll be part of the rotation when available, he'll be hard-pressed to see his minutes climb dramatically unless the Wizards are without multiple other key players. At 9-46, the Wizards aren't incentivized to open up major playing time for the 30-year-old Smart at the expense of young guards and wings like Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George.

Smart has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Smart will make his debut Friday for the Wizards after being recently traded to the team by the Grizzlies. The defensive-minded guard hasn't seen the floor much this season, playing only 19 games during the 2024-25 campaign. He has averaged 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Smart will likely make his Wizards debut after the All-Star break, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

That means Smart is slated to miss Monday's game against the Spurs and Wednesday's game against the Pacers but will likely be available for a Feb. 21 matchup against the Bucks. Khris Middleton (trade pending) is in the same boat as Smart, and it's unclear how the recently acquired veterans will fit with the Wizards' young core.

Smart (recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart was traded by the Grizzlies to the Wizards on Thursday, and the veteran guard has yet to make his debut for Washington. His next opportunity to do so will be Monday against the Spurs.
