Jalen Smith amassed 23 points (8-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs.

Faced with the challenge of going up against Victor Wembanyama, Smith had his best offensive game of the season on Wednesday. His 23 points were a season high, and this was Smith’s first 20-point game since February 1, 2024, as a member of the Pacers. He also hit a career-high five three-pointers on five attempts. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still under a minutes limit, Smith played 30 minutes on Wednesday, which preserves his fantasy value in the short term.
