Steps up with 21 points off bench
Smith logged 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-101 win over Sacramento.
Analysis
Head coach JJ Redick vowed to shake up the lineup prior to Sunday's game, and Smith ended up rejoining the rotation. The 21 points were his second-highest total of the campaign, but fantasy managers should likely take a wait-and-see approach while Redick searches for consistency in his lineup.

Starting Tuesday
Smith will start against the Suns on Tuesday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Analysis
With Luka Doncic (leg) sidelined and Austin Reaves coming off the bench following a three-game absence due to a calf injury, Smith will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The two-way player is averaging 7.2 points in 14.6 minutes per game across 11 regular-season appearances thus far.
