Nick Smith

Recap

Nick Smith Jr. had an impressive performance in the Lakers’ win over the Kings, tallying 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting, including five three-pointers. With Austin Reaves sidelined due to a calf injury, head coach JJ Redick has expanded Smith’s role, leading to increased minutes and opportunities. While his recent output has caught attention, fantasy managers may want to observe his consistency, particularly in the upcoming game against the Pistons, before making any roster changes.
