Jabari Smith Jr. led the Rockets offense Saturday night, dropping 30 points (10-18 FG, 6-12 3PT, 4-5 FT) while also grabbing nine rebounds, blocking one shot, and dishing out five assists in a 119-98 win over the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact
Smith Jr. continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more assists, two or more rebounds, and 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The forward provides head coach Ime Udoka another impactful option in a versatile Houston starting five, averaging 19.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game while posting a 19.0% usage rate so far this season.
Jabari Smith Jr. finished with 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3PT, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, and five assists in Monday's 120-110 win over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Smith rounded out his stat line with a steal and a block, as he contributed across the board on Monday night. The fifth-year pro put up 30 points on opening night, but this was his highest point total since, and he also recorded his first double-double of the season. Smith's output could greatly vary on a game-to-game basis, but he should remain a solid fantasy asset with value in multiple columns throughout the season.
Jabari Smith Jr. put up 30 points (11-17 FG, 4-8 3PT, 4-5 FT) and grabbed five rebounds in Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was tied for the most points on the team with 30 over the course of the game. He isn't expected to do that on a nightly basis, but he should continue to be good enough to be regarded as an above-average fantasy option for the foreseeable future.
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.
