Dennis Smith Jr. News
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) will sit out Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. Theo Maledon should continue to start with Smith missing his fourth straight game and is one of the only true point guards healthy right now. Maledon posted a solid line of 14 assists, eight points, eight rebounds and one block in his last spot start. He should see all the minutes he can handle on Tuesday.
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) may sit out on Tuesday against Toronto. He missed the last three games because of a right great toe sprain and is listed as questionable on the league's official injury report. However, with Charlotte limping to the end of the regular season, it would be surprising to see the 25-year-old on the floor again in 2022-23. That said, Terry Rozier (foot) is also unavailable, so Theo Maledon, averaging 11.8 points, 10.0 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this season, should remain on the DFS radar.
Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (toe) could miss a third consecutive game, with the team listing him as questionable for Sunday's meeting with Toronto. The 25-year-old has again emerged as a viable fantasy option late in the season, but a sprained toe has kept him off the court lately. Smith Jr.'s absence has pushed Theo Maledon into the starting unit, and the 21-year-old has performed well in the last two games, averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists. He's set to maintain his role if Smith Jr. remains out Sunday.
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) was removed early during Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It was a bad night for the Hornets with Terry Rozier (foot) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) also exiting early during this game. Smith started the third quarter when Rozier left due to injury. However, he didn't get through the quarter before exiting due to an illness. That means, Bryce McGowens, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Gordon Hayward will all see increased roles if any of these players do end up missing more time.
