Jalen Smith News: Double-double with four blocks

Smith closed with 14 points (4-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 112-109 loss to the Nets.

Smith logged a season-high 35 minutes, recording his second straight double-double, while also adding five combined steals-plus-blocks. Despite coming off the bench to start the game, Smith started the second half, helping fuel a comeback that ultimately fell just short. Although his efficiency continues to be an issue, Smith is certainly doing enough to be rostered in standard leagues, flirting with top-100 value in five games over the past two weeks.
