Wizards' Jason Smith (shoulder) a game-time decision for Friday's game
Washington Wizards forward Jason Smith is likely to be a game-time call for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
According to The Washington Post's Candace Buckner, MRI results on Smith's right shoulder showed no structural damage. Smith served as the team's starting power forward before leaving the game seven minutes in. If he can't return to the lineup Friday, Kelly Oubre would probably get the nod at small forward as Otto Porter slides to power forward for the night.
numberFire's models project Smith to produce 5.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 13.0 FanDuel points in 12.4 minutes Friday night.
