JR Smith will no longer be in the active lineup for games for the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Joe Vardon. Since the report, Smith not played either game (two in total) and will not play on Saturday. Rodney Hood is now starting at the two. (Joe Vardon on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
With Smith as good as gone, Rodney Hood is the next man up and should be added in all leagues as the defacto top scoring option in Cleveland with Kevin Love out. Jordan Clarkson gets a boost in minutes but Hood and David Nwaba should be owned in fantasy. Cedi Osman gets a boost also.
