Marcus Smart's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver. He missed a clash with the Nuggets on Sunday and was already listed as questionable for Tuesday's game. Health issues have limited Smart to only seven appearances in 2024-25, and he's been way off his game even when he has been on the court, posting 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard have a chance to play more with Smart out of commission, but they haven't exactly set the world alight this season.

Smart missed Sunday's game, so it looks like at least a two-game absence for Smart. It's worth noting that the Grizzlies do play a back-to-back set, so hopefully Smart can return on Wednesday. Until then, Luke Kennard and Vince Williams Jr. should see more playing time off the bench. Neither player has been much of a fantasy option, but Kennard is the better choice between the two. He's a good shooter from 3-point range and dished out 11 assists in a game last week.
