MARCUS SMART NEWS

Out Monday Smart (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Smart has not played since Nov. 14 due to a left foot sprain, but he seems to be trending toward a return. The Grizzlies have been shorthanded as of late, so Smart should be thrust into a significant role when he can return. In the meantime, Derrick Rose, David Roddy and John Konchar will continue to see increased run.

Crunch-Time Play Perfectly Sums Up Marcus Smart Experience A clutch play in the Memphis Grizzlies' Sunday night win over the Los Angeles Clippers perfectly summed up the Marcus Smart experience.

Solid outing in win Smart ended with 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 105-101 win over the Clippers.

Impact Smart continues to lead the way for the Grizzlies with Ja Morant suspended. The veteran point guard is averaging career-high marks in points (13.4) and steals (2.1) per game, but his assist and rebounding production are down compared to his last year in Boston. Smart is a reliable fantasy option, but managers shouldn't expect him to explode anytime soon.
