Out again Wednesday
Smith (calf) will remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game in Boston.
Analyse
Smith will sit out Chicago's final game heading into the All-Star break, but there's a decent chance he'll be able to get back out there for Chicago's Feb. 19 matchup with Toronto. Guerschon Yabusele should continue to start in Smith's absence, with Nick Richards logging extended minutes in the second unit.

Unlikely to play Wednesday
Smith is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a strained right calf.
Analyse
The Bulls are expected to keep Smith out through the All-Star break. His expected absence should allow Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards to split the center minutes evenly Wednesday, putting both players in the streaming mix.

Listed out Monday
Smith (calf) is out for Monday's game against Brooklyn.
Analyse
Smith will miss a second straight game while on the mend from a right calf strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Wednesday in Boston. Guerschon Yabusele could be in line for another start with Smith sidelined again Monday.

Questionable to play Monday
Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Smith has been working through a right calf strain since late January, which has caused him to miss three of the Bulls' last five games. If he's unable to play Monday, then Guerschon Yabusele would likely start for the Bulls while Nick Richards and Patrick Williams will each get a bump in minutes off the bench.

Won't play Saturday
Smith (calf) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Analyse
Smith has been dealing with a right calf issue over the past week and a half, and the issue will prevent him from suiting up Saturday. Smith's absence means Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards will likely handle most of the center minutes, while Lachlan Olbrich or Leonard Miller could be mixed in. Smith's next chance to play will come Monday at Brooklyn.

Iffy for Saturday
Smith is questionable for Saturday's game versus Denver with a right calf strain.
Analyse
Smith continues to battle a lingering right calf issue and remains day-to-day. With Nikola Vucevic no longer in Chicago, Smith could see an uptick in fantasy appeal moving forward.
