Marcus Smart (forearm) out Monday vs. Hawks

Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Player Stats

Marcus Smart (forearm) is out for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

Smart is set to miss his second game in a row with a forearm injury. Bogdan Bogdanovic saw more minutes in Smart’s absence Saturday against the Hawks, but isn’t worth streaming in most fantasy leagues anyway.

Fred VanVleet

HOU Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Fred VanVleet (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

VanVleet is back after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Thunder, which was Houston’s second game in as many nights. His return means Marcus Smart will come off the bench.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart accumulated 24 points (7-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and seven three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

Smart started Saturday night, as the Rockets did not have Fred VanVleet (knee) due to injury management. The veteran guard shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Thunder and recorded his first regular-season 20-point game since March 14 against the Nuggets, when he played for the Lakers. While Smart will be a fixture in the Rockets’ rotation, his fantasy outlook hinges on VanVleet’s availability.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart, Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

While Şengün is back in the lineup after missing Friday’s loss to the Mavericks, Fred VanVleet (knee) is out for injury management. Smart will slide into the starting point guard role, while Şengün’s return pushes Clint Capela to the bench.
Fred VanVleet

HOU Guard #5

Fred VanVleet (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

VanVleet will sit with right knee injury management and it likely won’t be the last time he does so this season. With Reed Sheppard (back) also out, Marcus Smart should move into the starting lineup Saturday against the Thunder.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart (forearm) is available for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

Smart is good to go after missing Houston’s last three games. His return likely means fewer minutes for Bogdan Bogdanović, who played between 15 and 20 minutes in the three games Smart missed.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said that Marcus Smart (forearm) is likely to play in Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

Smart has missed Houston’s last three games with a forearm injury, giving Bogdan Bogdanović more playing time. Look for Bogie’s minutes to decrease if Smart is cleared to play.
Reed Sheppard

HOU Guard #15

Reed Sheppard (back) is out and Marcus Smart (forearm) is questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

Fortunately for Houston, Fred VanVleet isn’t listed on the injury report. FVV should handle the bulk of the backcourt minutes, and Bogdan Bogdanović should see a significant boost in playing time.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart (forearm) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Smart will miss a third straight game, though reports indicated that head coach Ime Udoka was “hopeful” that Smart would return for this game. His next opportunity to suit up will be in Dallas on Friday, while his absence will allow Bogdan Bogdanović to continue to take on extra minutes off the bench.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart (forearm) is questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Bucks.

Smart is trending in the right direction to return from a two-game absence. If Smart returns, Bogdan Bogdanović would likely see a reduction in playing time.
Marcus Smart

HOU Guard #36

Marcus Smart (forearm) is now day-to-day with strain.

Speaking to media ahead of the Rockets contest vs. the Hawks, head coach Ime Udoka says Smart is day-to-day, but is hopeful the guard will return to the lineup on Wednesday vs. the Bucks.

Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Clippers.

Poeltl sat out Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, but he could return for the second leg of the back-to-back set. If Poeltl ultimately sits again, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Collin Murray-Boyles would be in line for expanded roles.
