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 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.

Smith will start Saturday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Heat previously threw Smith on the injury report with a probable tag related to a hip issue, but they will need the guard to step up in a big way Saturday -- Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) have both been ruled out.
