Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) questionable Wednesday for Rockets
Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Smith is feeling unwell ahead of the second leg of the Rockets' back-to-back. He only played 25 minutes and had one of his worst games of the season in Tuesday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, so it might behoove Smith to take the night off. Cam Whitmore would likely play more minutes if Smith is ruled out.
numberFire's models project Smith for 36.8 minutes and 30.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Rockets' implied total (108.25) is No. 13 out of 16 active teams today.
