Rockets' Marcus Smart: Scores 20 points vs. Dallas
Smart finished with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block across 24 minutes in Sunday's 132-115 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Smart delivered a strong offensive performance and led all Houston players in scoring -- and it's worth noting each starter played over 20 minutes, so the Rockets are ramping up the workload for their rotation members. Smart is likely to open the season as a bench option but should handle sizable minutes because of his elite defense, three-point shooting and energy off the bench. This was an encouraging performance, but don't expect Smart to hover around the 20-point mark consistently once the regular season begins Oct. 21 in a rematch against Dallas.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Takes night off
Smart (coach's decision) did not play during Friday's 135-117 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Smart, Clint Capela and Jae'Sean Tate all took a seat for the preseason opener, but there were no reported injuries. Smart has played nearly 700 career regular-season games and spent multiple years in Boston under now-Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, so the veteran point guard likely doesn't need many preseason minutes to get acquainted with his new squad.

Rockets' Marcus Smart: Joining Houston
Smart agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Rockets on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
With LeBron James expected to leave the Lakers, Smart declined his $5.4 million player option that would have kept him in Los Angeles for 2026-27 and will instead join Ime Udoka, who coached Smart for one season in Boston. That year, Smart won Defensive Player of the Year, and the Celtics reached the NBA Finals. Last regular season, the veteran guard averaged 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.5 minutes per game over 62 appearances (54 starts). Smart figures to play a complementary role in Houston's backcourt, with Fred VanVleet (knee) working his way back to full strength.
