Wizards' Marcus Smart: Posts well-rounded line in return
Rotowire
Smart (finger) submitted 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 24 minutes in Saturday's 122-103 loss to the Knicks.
After resting in Friday's 120-105 loss to the Magic, Smart essentially filled in Saturday for Khris Middleton (ankles), who was given a maintenance day in the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set. Poor free-throw shooting aside, Smart came through with perhaps his best all-around showing of his 12 appearances with the Wizards, with his points, three-pointers, rebounds, steals and blocks totals either matching or surpassing his previous bests from the prior 11 contests. Despite Smart's excellent outing Saturday, extracting fantasy value from him over the final three weeks of the season could prove exceedingly difficult. In addition to likely seeing a slight dip in minutes when Middleton is available, Smart's playing time will presumably remain highly volatile as the Wizards prioritize younger options down the stretch in the midst of a non-contending season.

Wizards' Marcus Smart: Limited to 14 minutes in return
Rotowire
Smart (illness) tallied zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four assists, one steal and one block across 14 minutes Wednesday in the Wizards' 128-112 loss to the Jazz.
Smart was back in action after missing the last two games due to an illness. Still, like most of the Wizards' other established rotation members, he had his minutes held in check as Washington prioritized opening up playing time for lesser-established players in a matchup of the teams with the two worst records in the league. Expect Smart's availability to remain sporadic for the rest of the season, making it tough to extract much value from him even in deeper fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
Smart contributed eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.
