Flirts with double-double in win
Smith amassed 23 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-116 victory over the Warriors.
Analysis
Smith finished one rebound shy of a double-double in the dramatic victory. He distinguished himself as a perimeter threat Sunday with five triples, matching his third-highest total of the season in the category. The fourth-year pro averages 6.2 attempts from long range this season, which is quite high for his position. Smith's result continues a nice five-game streak of 20-plus point totals.

Exits early Friday
Smith (face) exited Friday's 140-106 win over the Jazz in the third quarter and did not return, finishing with 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes.
Analysis
Smith took a shot to the face in the third quarter and exited to the locker room. He joined his teammates on the bench shortly thereafter, though it's unclear if he was available to return to the blowout win. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Leaves for locker room
Smith exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Jazz due to an apparent facial injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Smith took a shot to the face and checked out with 5:54 remaining in the third before eventually heading back to the locker room. The 22-year-old power forward can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.
