Sliding to bench Saturday
Head coach Ime Udoka said Friday that Smith will operate off the bench in Saturday's game against the Kings, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis
With Fred VanVleet (ankle) expected to reclaim his role in the starting five on Saturday, Smith will slide to the bench. The 21-year-old forward should still see significant playing time in the second unit, though the Rockets will stick with Amen Thompson in the starting lineup for the time being. Over his last four outings (two starts) following a 22-game absence due to a fractured hand, Smith has averaged 10.0 points and 7.3 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per contest.

Back in starting lineup
Smith will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis
Smith had started in just one of his three appearances since returning from a month-long absence and will be back in the starting lineup Wednesday in place of Tari Eason (lower leg). During that three-game stretch, he's averaged 10.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 33.3 minutes.

Notches 13 points
Smith logged 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and eight rebounds across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 win over Milwaukee.
Analysis
Playing in just his third game since returning from an extended injury absence, Smith shifted to the bench for this game with Tari Eason getting the starting nod. Houston's lineup may not be set in stone going forward, as the team is waiting to get Fred VanVleet (ankle) back from his injury. Plus, they will likely be looking to find a way to keep Amen Thompson heavily involved in what has been a breakout season for the forward. With that in mind, Smith's upside may not be as high as it was prior to his injury.

Shifts to second unit
Smith will come off the bench in Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis
Tari Eason will supplant Smith in the starting five for the first half of the club's back-to-back set. The 21-year-old forward has appeared in two consecutive contests (one start) following a 22-game absence due to a fractured hand, during which he has accumulated 16 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and one block across 67 total minutes.

Struggles against Utah
Smith produced three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Jazz.
Analysis
In just his second game back from a 22-game absence due to fractured hand, Smith was inserted into the Rockets' starting lineup due to the absence of Tari Eason (lower leg injury management). Smith struggled to get anything going during Saturday's loss, missing on all but one of his eight field-goal attempts while finishing with a minus-10 point differential, which was tied with Jalen Green for worst on the team. Smith and the Rockets will look to bounce back against the Bucks on Tuesday.

Starting vs. Utah
Smith is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analysis
Smith returned from a 22-game absence in Friday's win over the Timberwolves, posting 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes off the bench, and he's back in the starting lineup due to the absence of Tari Eason (lower leg injury management). Smith has started in all but one of his 34 games this season, so he's likely to remain in the starting five for good now that he's healthy and back from the left hand fracture he suffered on Jan. 1.
