Greg Smith came out of nowhere for a career night that included 18 points and 19 boards in 32 minutes against the Pacers on Wednesday. He had 18 points combined in his previous four games and he played in 17 minutes or less in three of those four. Kevin McHale has been known to run some messy rotations, so this is more of a thorn in the side of deep league owners with Donatas Motiejunas (no points, two boards and one block) and Thomas Robinson (10 points and four boards in 22 minutes) also in the mix. However, swapping out Robinson or D-Mo for Smith seems like an easy decision to make at this point.

Greg Smith (bruised knee) practiced on Monday and he will be ready to play the Bucks on Wednesday. Smith had a scary moment during Saturday's game, when he needed help getting to the Rockets bench, but he seems to have come out unscathed. He projects as a backup big man behind Thomas Robinson, a role ill-suited for fantasy value.

Greg Smith left Saturday's game with a bruised right knee, but X-rays were negative and he said he'll be ready to play on Wednesday. Smith needed help getting to the Rockets bench, which was scary, but fortunately he avoided major damage. The Rockets have a well-timed two-day break before hosting the Bucks.

Greg Smith hit 5-of-5 shots off the bench for 10 points, four rebounds and a block in Friday's win. He's going to get some minutes at power forward, but with Carlos Delfino playing so well as the starter, and Thomas Robinson soon to be an option at PF for the Rockets, we doubt Smith will see enough minutest to be able to make much of a fantasy dent.

Greg Smith took over as the backup center with Cole Aldrich being traded Wednesday, scoring eight points with four boards and two blocks in 21 minutes. There isn't a whole lot to be excited about here since Omer Asik (nine points and 10 rebounds in 27 minutes) plays 30 minutes per game and the Rockets' up-tempo pace isn't a great setup for the 250-pound Smith. Donatas Motiejunas played just five minutes and scored two points. Thomas Robinson isn't completely assured of seeing a big chunk of minutes at power forward, but he still looks like a solid pickup.

The Rockets assigned Greg Smith to the D-League on Sunday. Smith was on a nice run earlier this season, making nearly every shot he took around the basket and displaying great hands in traffic, but he's since fallen out of Kevin McHale's rotations.

Greg Smith notched two points and one rebound off Houston's bench on Wednesday. Smith missed one game due to the birth of his child. He has been great as Houston's backup center this season, shooting 61.3 percent with 5.1 rebounds in just 15 minutes per game, and could flourish in a bigger role down the road.

Greg Smith will not play on Monday because his wife had a baby. Congrats to the Smith family for the addition of their new baby boy. With Smith unavailable, Omer Asik will play heavy minutes as long as he can stay out of foul trouble.

Greg Smith logged the first double-double of his career with 11 points and 11 boards, adding two assists and one steal in Saturday's 112-104 win over the Cavs. He made all five of his field goals and took advantage of his 26 minutes thanks to Omer Asik (four points, six boards and two blocks in 21 minutes) getting into foul trouble. Smith played in just three minutes in his last game, so there isn't much reason to pay much attention to him at this point.

Greg Smith scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting with eight rebounds, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday. Smith is worth keeping an eye on while Patrick Patterson (foot) is out. As of right now there is no update on Patterson, so owners will want to approach the situation as if there is a chance that he will miss more than a few games.
