Marcus Smart (illness) will be out of action against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Smart also sat out during Wednesday's contest due to a finger issue, but an illness will keep him off the floor for tonight's game. The 31-year-old veteran guard's absence won't impact fantasy much this evening as he is averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals this season. His next chance to get back on the floor is Saturday versus Brooklyn.

Marcus Smart (illness) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The veteran was originally ruled out for the game due to an illness, but he has now unexpectedly been upgraded to available. Smart produced a couple of strong outings before landing on the shelf for two games because of his illness. However, he has been far from his best in Washington, averaging 10.9 points, 2.9 assists, and 1.0 steals since joining the team.

Marcus Smart (illness) will not return to the lineup on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. There was initially hope that he could be back after missing one game due to an illness, but the team has downgraded Smart's status from questionable to out. Fellow veterans
Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) and
Corey Kispert (thumb) are also sidelined for Monday's game, putting rookies
Kyshawn George,
Bub Carrington, and
AJ Johnson in a position to eat up as many minutes as they can.

Marcus Smart (illness) remains on the injury report for a non-COVID illness and is considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. The former Defensive Player of the Year was forced to miss the last game against the Denver Nuggets, but may only have to face a one-game absence. If he remains sidelined, however,
Bub Carrington should see some added minutes off of the bench while
AJ Johnson will likely get some added opportunities as well. Carrington has enjoyed the best month of his season with averages of 11.3 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game in March.
