Smart scored 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes off the bench in Friday's overtime loss to the Pacers. Jeff Green was held of the game pending his expected trade to the Grizzlies. Though they play different positions, Green's absence appears to have nonetheless opened up some extra minutes for Smart. While Smart has seen similar workloads a small handful of times over the past month, he came into the game averaging only 20 minutes per night over his last three outings. If Green's absence leads to Evan Turner playing more small forward, and therefore less shooting guard, then it would make sense that Green's departure could also help Smart.
