Wizards' Otto Porter (illness) out, Jason Smith starting on Wednesday
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (illness) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Porter has been questionable with the illness all day, and ultimately it will hold him out for at least one game. Jason Smith enters the starting lineup to play power forward in his place.
Before the news of his starting, Smith was projected for 11.8 FanDuel points in 12.3 minutes of action. Porter was projected for 34.0 minutes, so look for Smith's workload to increase significantly.
