Trail Blazers' Dennis Smith (elbow) ruled out again

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Dennis Smith (elbow) has been ruled out again for Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

Smith will miss a third consecutive game, meaning his Trail Blazers debut will not come until after the All-Star break. Anfernee Simons, Josh Hart, and Ben McLemore should continue to play most of the Trail Blazers' backcourt minutes on Wednesday.

numberFire's models currently expect McLemore to log 24.8 minutes and yield 18.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday.
