Nikola Vucevic

Smith is on track to miss a fourth consecutive game with a strained left hamstring. Who assumes the backup center minutes depends on the availability of Zach Collins (wrist), who is questionable. If he can't make his season debut, Lachlan Olbrich will once again take on the responsibility of backing up Nikola Vucevic.

Collins did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Nets despite participating in pregame shootaround. His return would impact the center rotation behind starter Nikola Vucevic, with Lachlan Olbrich taking on that role recently. With Jalen Smith considered doubtful, Collins may be asked to take on the backup responsibilities immediately if he's available.

Smith will miss a third straight game with a strained left hamstring. With Zach Collins (wrist) also out, the backup center responsibilities will once again fall upon Lachlan Olbrich's shoulders. This is not a good place to find deep-league fantasy value, as starter Nikola Vucevic will play plenty.

Vucevic provided 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 125-120 loss to the Magic.

Vucevic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
