Marcus Smart stepped into the starting lineup for the injured Luka Dončić, contributing 11 points, three rebounds, and five assists in the Lakers’ victory over the Kings. Despite a subpar shooting night, Smart’s performance was buoyed by his free-throw accuracy. With Dončić sidelined at least through Week 2, Smart may continue to see extended minutes, though Rui Hachimura remains a more valuable option for fantasy managers given his scoring potential and versatility.
