Jalen Smith Unlikely to Play Wednesday Against the Celtics
Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) was listed as doubtful for his team's matchup in Boston on Wednesday, meaning he's likely to miss his third straight game and his fifth game in Chicago's last seven. Smith has been puttin gup bit numbers, averaging 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 contests (eight starts). After the Bulls traded Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics at the trade deadline, Smith could be in for an expanded role when available the rest of the season. The 25-year-old has been a great per-minute producer this year and will be worth a roster spot in most standard leagues when he's able to resume a full workload. With the week off for the All-Star break after Wednesday's game, though, it makes sense for the Bulls to be cautious for this contest. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, Nick Richards, and Patrick Williams will continue to hold down the frontcourt.
