Smith will get the start in place of Goran Dragic (ankle) on Wednesday against the Jazz, Jazz radio voice David Locke reports.

Analysis:

With Dragic sidelined after twisting his ankle Tuesday, Smith will step in and make his first start of the season. With both Dragic and Eric Bledsoe (knee) out, Smith should see significant minutes, though he'll undoubtedly return to the bench upon Dragic's return. In the month of February, Smith is averaging 5.8 points and 2.9 assists in 17.6 minutes per game.
