Smith finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 134-91 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Davion Mitchell returned from his shoulder injury Sunday, but Smith still played a key role off the bench in the win with the team missing several players. Smith has been solid over his last eight outings, posting averages of 8.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest during that stretch.

Smith totaled six points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals across 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 147-116 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-year guard is having trouble maintaining a consistent role in the Miami rotation, but he's been disruptive when he's been on the court. The five steals were a season high for Smith, and he's averaging 1.5 steals in just 16.9 minutes over 45 games this season -- albeit with a modest 6.0 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 boards, and 39.9 percent shooting from the floor, along with the pilfers.

Smith provided two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Smith continues to consistently see minutes in the high teens for Miami, limiting his fantasy appeal to deeper formats. Over his last seven outings, Smith has averaged 18.2 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 steals.

Smith had five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 142-116 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith contributed across all major categories, albeit on low volume. While Smith has been a consistent piece in the rotation, his overall fantasy value is basically tied up in one category, that being steals. In 32 appearances, Smith is averaging 6.4 points, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 17.6 minutes per game.

Smith racked up nine points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 132-125 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
Davion Mitchell (ankle) was back from a one-game absence, but Smith's role didn't change -- the Heat gave Kasparas Jakucionis a spot start Friday against Boston. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra seems to like Smith as the point guard with the second unit, so he's likely going to continue seeing minutes in the teens moving forward.

Smith chipped in 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Smith played at least 20 minutes for just the fifth time this season, sliding into a slightly larger role after Nikola Jovic was forced from the floor due to an elbow injury. Tyler Herro also missed the game as a result of a toe issue, providing Smith with some added responsibility. There is no reason to prioritize him outside of deeper formats, but if both Jovic and Herro are forced to miss additional time, Smith could make for an interesting streaming option for anyone needing steals.

Smith won't start against the Magic on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Davion Mitchell (groin) back in action, Smith will retreat to the second unit after getting a spot start in Saturday's loss to Sacramento. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 17.2 minutes per contest.

Smith (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
A left hip contusion continues to bother Smith, though he hasn't missed a game all season. Across his last seven appearances, the guard has averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 17.3 minutes per game.

Smith (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Smith continues to battle a nagging left hip contusion. Davion Mitchell (groin), who's expected to be available Tuesday, would likely pick up a few extra minutes if Smith cannot give it a go.

Smith didn't practice Monday due to a left hip contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith continues to manage the minor ailment, and it's possible he ends up being on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic. More playing time will become available for Davion Mitchell (groin) if Smith can't play.
