Wizards sit Markieff Morris (illness) Friday, Jason Smith to start

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris (illness) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Friday and Jason Smith will start in his place.

What It Means:

He has a sinus issue and this news came out of nowhere just a few minutes ago. With Morris out, Smith should see minutes close to 20, but you can bet the Wizards will use a lot of lineups with Otto Porter and Bojan Bogdanovic at the forward spots. Plus, Marcin Gortat's minutes are also safer because Morris has played a lot of five recently.

Our models project Smith for 8.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 20.4 minutes on Friday.
