Availability
Jabari Smith Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Smith is one of several starters who will sit for the Rockets. Aaron Holiday and Jae’Sean Tate should see more run as a result.
Smith went 1-of-5 from three but leaned on the free-throw line and two-point scoring to finish with 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, and one block in Thursday's win over the 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
Houston extended its winning streak to eight games with two left to play, and home court advantage in the first round is still within reach — giving the Rockets every reason to keep pushing through the final stretch.
Smith scored 20 points with five three-pointers for the second straight game Tuesday — 20 points (6-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one block, and one assist in the win over the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
He went just 1-of-5 from two-point range, with the three-point volume and a perfect free-throw night carrying the total — back-to-back 20-point, five-triple performances is a trend worth noting regardless of the field goal percentage.
