Smith (illness) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Nets, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.

Analysis:

At this point, it seems likely Smith sits out Tuesday's crosstown matchup, as he continues to battle the illness that kept him out of practice Monday. If that is, indeed, the case, Iman Shumpert and Tim Hardaway, Jr. figure to absorb most of his minutes load.
