Smith will start Friday's game against the Warriors.

Analysis:

Smith will enter the starting lineup in just his second game with the Cavaliers, pushing underperforming Matthew Dellavedova to the bench. In 18 minutes against the Rockets on Wednesday, Smith was held scoreless, but that can probably be chalked up to a lack of familiarity with his new surroundings. Smith is still a risky play, however, and the best course of action is wait and see how he'll fit into David Blatt's rotation on a night-to-night basis.
