Marcus Smart

Smart finished Saturday's 127-125 overtime win over Denver with 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals across 35 minutes.

Smart returned to the starting lineup after not playing Thursday against the Bulls due to a hip injury, and he was productive on offense and sharp from three-point range. Smart has started regularly for the Lakers this season, and while his overall season stats aren't eye-popping from a fantasy perspective, his defensive impact and on-court leadership are noticeable for a veteran Lakers team. Smart should remain in a starting role until further notice, but don't expect him to hover around the 20-point mark on a steady basis. This was the first time he cleared that threshold since scoring 25 points in a loss to Portland on Jan. 17.
