Smith is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Bulls could take a cautious approach. Smith had a terrific showing Tuesday against the Wizards, scoring 12 points with nine rebounds, two assists and one block. If he's unable to play Wednesday, the Bulls are likely to utilize some smaller lineups.

Smith logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
The nine boards were a season high for Smith. The fifth-year center hasn't seen his court time increase while Patrick Williams (foot) has been sidelined, but Smith has been more productive -- over the last three games he's scored in double digits twice while averaging 10.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks in only 16.0 minutes a contest.

Smith (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was deemed questionable for this matchup earlier Saturday, but he'll suit up and will be available off the bench. Smith is averaging 14.6 minutes off the bench per game in November, so his availability isn't expected to affect many fantasy lineups.

Smith recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After recording double-digit points in three of his first four outings this season, Smith has done so just one time since. While the 24-year-old big man is converting 38.9 percent of his 3.6 three-point attempts per contest, he is also shooting just 44.4 percent from the field overall.

Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was added to Monday's injury report due to an illness, which is serious enough for him to be sidelined. His next chance at suiting up will be Wednesday against the Knicks. With Smith sidelined Monday, the Bulls could run with smaller lineups when Nikola Vucevic is resting.

Smith (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was a late addition to the injury report which usually isn't a great sign. He's been solid for the Bulls this season, averaging 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes through nine games. If he's unable to play, the Bulls could potentially use some smaller lineups.
