Dennis Smith Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Probable for Friday Smith (hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Smith has missed the past two games due to a hip injury, but this is the first time he's been listed as probable since going down, which is encouraging. If Smith is able to get back out there, Jacob Gilyard could fall out of the rotation entirely.

Will remain out Wednesday Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to right hip synovitis. Dennis Schroder, Jalen Wilson and Lonnie Walker could continue to see increased run against the Wizards on Wednesday.

Won't play Monday Smith has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to right hip synovitis, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Smith hasn't missed a game since early February, but he'll be unable to suit up Monday due to his hip issue. Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker and Mikal Bridges are candidates to see increased usage against the Raptors.

Good to go Saturday Smith (hip) is available for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday despite dealing with right hip soreness. Smith will will likely continue to serve as one Brooklyn's primary options off the bench in the backcourt.

Dealing with hip soreness Smith is probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks due to right hip soreness, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Smith is still on track to suit up, but his official availability may not be known until closer to the 1:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Thus far in March, Smith has averaged 5.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 17.7 minutes per game across 11 appearances (one start).

Moves to bench Smith will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Cam Thomas is back with the starters after missing six straight games, but he will have restrictions. Given how shorthanded the Nets are, Smith is expected to maintain a significant role with the second unit.

Scoreless in zero minutes Smith ended Monday's 111-86 win over the Grizzlies with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 14 minutes.

Impact Smith appears to be out of favor in Brooklyn these days. He's been held to minutes in the teens in five straight games, as Dennis Schroder is the preferred option at point guard. Smith offers plenty of upside in fantasy basketball, but the minutes just haven't been there.

Drops a dud Tuesday Smith notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 loss to Boston.

Impact Smith did his best magician impression Tuesday, delivering a flawless vanishing act. For anyone who streamed him in on a low-volume night, you were rewarded with a hat full of nothing. Despite the loss of Spencer Dinwiddie, the Nets now have a relatively healthy Ben Simmons and newly acquired Dennis Schroder to soak up the majority of the backcourt minutes. Smith can be viewed as a streaming option for both assists and steals but as we saw here, his floor is dangerously low.

Impact After missing the Nets' prior game with a minor foot issue, Smith produced one of his better all-around fantasy lines of the campaign. The journeyman guard is playing for his sixth team in seven seasons, and it's his defensive ability that has kept him employed. The 26-year-old has recorded multiple steals in nine of his last 13 games, averaging 7.7 points, 4.5 assists, 4.3 boards and 1.7 pilfers in 22.0 minutes a contest over that stretch.

Available for Monday's game Smith (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Smith was probable on the Nets' initial injury report due to right foot soreness, and he's officially been cleared to suit up Monday. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 5.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 19.4 minutes per game.

Listed as probable Smith is probable for Monday's game against Golden State, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Smith missed Saturday's blowout win over Philadelphia but should return to action Monday. However, he's played 20-plus minutes just once over his last eight appearances, averaging 6.9 points, 3.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals during that stretch.

Ruled out for Saturday Smith (foot) won't play Saturday against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Smith was added to the injury report as questionable due to right foot soreness, and the team has since announced that he'll be held out of Saturday's action. Look for Cam Thomas and Lonnie Walker to pick up extra minutes in Smith's absence.

Questionable for Saturday Smith is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to right foot soreness, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Smith played 19 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Suns, posting four points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but if he misses time, more reserve minutes will open up for Lonnie Walker.

Closes out narrow loss Smith finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block across 32 minutes in Monday's 96-95 overtime loss to the Heat.

Impact The 32 minutes were a season-high total for Smith, who played all 11 seconds of overtime and notably closed out the game as the Nets' point guard over starter Spencer Dinwiddie. With Dinwiddie limited to just 20 minutes Monday and now having been held under 30 minutes five times in the Nets' last six games, Smith appears to be encroaching on his role. While he shouldn't be looked to as a reliable source of scoring even if he supplants Dinwiddie on the top unit or continues to see the larger share of minutes, Smith at the very least profiles as a strong streaming option for steals and assists, and he's also shown the ability to provide above-average rebounding production for a guard.

Posts first double-double off bench Smith racked up 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 134-127 overtime loss to the...

Impact Smith led the Nets in assists to go along with a pair of steals and a double-digit point total en route to his first double-double of the year. Smith handed out at least 10 assists for the first time of the season, previously holding a season-high assist mark of eight which he set Dec. 27. Smith has finished with at least 10 points and five assists in five games this year.

Shines off bench Friday Smith totaled 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-115 win over the Thunder.

Impact Smith struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, but that's perhaps the only issue he encountered in one of his best personal displays in recent memory. Smith ended just three assists away from recording a double-double, and while he's not going to steal the starting point guard role away from Spencer Dinwiddie any time soon, he might be in line for an uptick in minutes, given how productive he's looked off the bench of late. Over his last eight outings (one start), Smith is averaging 8.4 points, 4.6 assists, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals across 21.1 minutes per game.
