Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable Again Thursday
Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Thunder. He has been carrying the questionable tag for a few games, but Smith Jr. still hasn't been able to return to the lineup after suffering a left ankle sprain in a contest against Philadelphia on Nov. 23. The 25-year-old will miss a 17th consecutive game if he remains out on Thursday. Smith Jr. had a great run in the team at the start of the campaign when Charlotte suffered from multiple injuries, but even when he's finally healthy again, he will likely struggle to carve out a significant role and fantasy managers should look for alternative options.
Dec 29, 2022 • 7:53 PM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Out Against The Clippers
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's clash against the Clippers. The 25-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month because of a sprained ankle, so his absence isn't surprising by any means. Smith likely wouldn't haven seen much action with LaMelo Ball back in the lineup. However, with Terry Rozier (hip) ruled out for this one, Theo Maledon, who had 12 points, seven rebounds, and a steal in the win over Sacramento, should continue to benefit while Smith remains on the shelf.
Dec 22, 2022 • 2:35 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Remains Out For Monday's Game
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Smith has been sidelined since November 23rd due to a left ankle sprain. Fellow guard Terry Rozier (hip) is doubtful to play, so Theo Maledon could play significant minutes on Monday. LaMelo Ball will see minutes in the mid-30s, but Maledon will probably have a decent role behind him. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider Maledon as an option, assuming Rozier hits the sideline.
Dec 19, 2022 • 10:50 PM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Sidelined Again On Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) won't play against the Pistons on Wednesday. Neither will LaMelo Ball (ankle), which isn't surprising considering he's only played three games during the 2022-23 campaign. That said, Terry Rozier should handle most of the ball handling duties while remaining a primary scoring option. Of course, Kelly Oubre Jr., who has averaged 20.8 points this season, is expected to continue to benefit with Ball and Smith out of the picture.
Dec 14, 2022 • 4:18 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Remains Sidelined On Sunday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) won't play against the 76ers on Sunday. The 25-year-old had averaged 10.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals in 11 starts while filling in for LaMelo Ball (ankle) before going down with the injury. However, with Smith missing his previous seven contests, Terry Rozier will probably remain at the one spot, giving him an increase in usage and offensive opportunities. Theo Maledon, who had eight points and six rebounds in 26 minutes in Friday's loss to the Knicks, should continue to benefit as well.
Dec 11, 2022 • 5:12 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Still Plagued By Sprained Ankle
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out on Wednesday against Brooklyn. LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play either, so Terry Rozier should continue to handle things at the one, with Theo Maledon expected to receive additional minutes from the bench. While Rozier will likely see an increase in usage and assists as the primary ball handler, Meledon probably won't offer much to fantasy managers.
Dec 7, 2022 • 3:58 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Won't Play Against The Wizards
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with Washington. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) limited to just three games this season, Smith has started 11 times. Outside of his rough shooting percentages, he's played well, averaging 10.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals. However, without Ball and Smith on the floor, Theo Maledon, who had 11 points, eight assists, and three steals on Monday versus Boston, is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Maledon also had five turnovers and went 4-for-13 from the field, something fantasy managers should consider.
Dec 2, 2022 • 4:40 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Questionable Again
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 24-year-old has played well while filling for LaMelo Ball (ankle), averaging 10.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals in 11 starts this season. However, he's dealing with an ankle issue of his own and has missed the last four games. If Smith can't play, Terry Rozier will likely be the primary ball-handler and log plenty of minutes. Gordon Hayward, P.J. Washington, and Kelly Oubre Jr. should also be on the court for a significant portion of the contest.
Nov 20, 2022 • 4:25 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Downgraded To Out Against Pacers
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will not suit up on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. He was already declared doubtful for the game to begin with, but it's now official that he won't play. Since LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are both back, Smith was going to take a hit to his minutes and usage anyway. Since he'll be out for this game, James Bouknight and Theo Maledon will get a little more playing time off of the bench. It's not recommended to use either one of them as streaming options.
Nov 16, 2022 • 11:31 PM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Unlikely To Play Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Smith is likely heading toward his third straight missed game with an ankle sprain. With Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball at full strength, Smith's absence only leaves a backup role for Theo Maledon. Maledon does not have much fantasy value unless another injury occurs.
Nov 16, 2022 • 2:39 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Monday
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old will miss at least one more game, but head coach Steve Clifford is hopeful that Smith can play on Wednesday. His absence should result in Theo Maledon getting more minutes. However, he isn't a reliable streaming option with LaMelo Ball healthy and back on the court. It's uncertain if Smith will have much fantasy appeal with Ball healthy and playing his full workload again.
Nov 14, 2022 • 11:06 PM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Questionable Versus The Heat
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is questionable heading toward the rematch with the Heat. The 24-year-old tweaked his left ankle nearly a week ago. However, he's been playing through it, although he re-injured it during Thursday's overtime loss to Miami. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) remaining out on Saturday, Smith would continue to start if he's available. Yet, if Smith can't suit up, James Bouknight may take his place in the lineup.
Nov 12, 2022 • 3:57 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Saturday
Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He rolled his left ankle in a meeting with the Heat on Thursday and wasn't able to complete the game. Smith Jr. also sprained the same ankle earlier in the month in a game against Brooklyn, so he's had some bad luck in recent weeks. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a very productive run in the team whilst a number of his teammates have been nursing injuries. LaMelo Ball (ankle) will still be out Saturday, meaning Smith Jr. would have another opportunity to play a big role, but his awful luck with injuries might rob him of the chance. James Bouknight and Theo Maledon could benefit if Smith Jr. is unavailable, while Terry Rozier will get all the minutes he can handle.
Nov 12, 2022 • 1:57 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Exits Thursday's Game
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old has been seeing an extended role with the Hornets shorthanded at guard. Sadly, Smith suffered a right ankle sprain and was forced to exit during the first minute of the overtime contest against Miami on Thursday. Hopefully, this isn't a serious injury and Smith won't be forced to miss time because of this problem. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, and eight assists before exiting the contest.
Nov 11, 2022 • 3:21 AM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Intends To Play Against Washington
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) intends to play against the Wizards, according to head coach Steve Clifford. The 24-year-old tweaked his ankle versus Brooklyn on Saturday night, limiting him to just six minutes of action. Smith has averaged 10.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in eight starts this season. However, he may not be as productive with Terry Rozier back in the lineup.
Nov 7, 2022 • 11:11 PM | RotoBallerDennis Smith Jr. Regarded As Questionable
Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against Washington after he sprained his left ankle over the weekend versus Brooklyn. Smith has enjoyed a good run early in the campaign, getting 10.4 points per game with 3.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists. However, fantasy managers should start preparing for life after him, as Terry Rozier returned from a seven-game absence against the Nets and LaMelo Ball's (ankle) season debut should be just around the corner as well. With Ball still out and Smith possibly joining him on the sidelines, James Bouknight could be set for a busy evening in the Charlotte backcourt Monday.
