Marcus Smart

Smart has missed the last three games with a lower back injury. The 31-year-old shooting guard will sit out again Thursday for injury management reasons. Gabe Vincent could see extra minutes with Smart out, but won't be viable in fantasy basketball.

Smart (back) will not play Monday against the Suns, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Smart has officially been ruled out after being downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day. Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht should take on larger roles with Smart unavailable, though it is unlikely that either ends up being worth a stream.

With Smart unlikely to take the court against Dallas, expect Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht to absorb his minutes. Neither Vincent nor Knecht are particularly appealing for fantasy purposes.

Smart, who played 20 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Clippers, is dealing with back spasms. If he's unable to play on Friday, Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht may absorb the available minutes. However, neither has been productive enough to merit streaming, especially with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves available.
