Smith will move back to a bench role Friday with Goran Dragic (ankle) back in the starting lineup.

Analysis:

mith scored 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-4 FT) and had eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 36 minutes against Utah on Wednesday night. He played well in his spot start, but the only thing to take from that is an expectation of possible production if he ever gets a similar opportunity in the future.
