Ish Smith starting instead of Shabazz Napier for Wizards on Monday
Washington Wizards point guard Ish Smith will start on Monday against the Indiana Pacers, per Wizards head coach Scott Brooks.
What It Means:
Smith will replace Shabazz Napier at point guard because Brooks wants to see how his guards perform with the different units. Smith and Napier both logged around 25 minutes in each of the first two games, so their playing time should remain pretty consistent. Smith is averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.0 3-pointers so far in the bubble.
numberFire's models expect Smith to score 26.3 FanDuel points on Monday. He's priced at $5,400.
