2024 Outlook
Roster %
Eligibility
Marcus Smart has sustained a severe right ring finger injury and will be sidelined for approximately six weeks.
Fantasy Impact
The injuries continue to pile up for the Grizzlies. Smart had just returned from a long absence, and he'll have another long absence with this new injury. Vince Williams Jr. and David Roddy should be among the players seeing a bigger role in the absence of Smart.
Marcus Smart filled the stat sheet for the Grizzlies Friday night, dishing out five assists, recording one steal, grabbing two rebounds, and scoring 29 points (9-16 FG, 8-14 3PT, 3-4 FT) in a 127-113 win over the Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
Smart has provided modest results on both ends of the floor of late, finishing with at least one rebound, two assists, and five points in each of his last five games for the Grizzlies. The veteran offers fantasy managers a fairly safe option while providing a majority of his value on the defensive end of the floor guarding the top opposing player most nights, averaging 13.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game to go along with a 21.7% usage rate so far this season.
Marcus Smart scored 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 3-4 FT) to go along with three rebounds, five assists and one steal in the Grizzlies' 142-105 loss against the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Smart was second on the team in shot attempts, seeing some more opportunity with Ja Morant (illness) sidelined. His primary value will continue to come as a defender with some big games as a scorer.
Marcus Smart scored 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with one rebound, three assists, five steals and one block in the Grizzlies' 116-115 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Smart picked up right where he left off as a defender with six combined steals and blocks. He should continue to post defensive numbers on a consistent basis.
Marcus Smart is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Smart will make his return for the first time since November 14. It is possible he could be eased back, but he should still return to his starting role.
