Smith (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Smith was questionable for Monday's game against Indiana, and he ended up recording 18 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal over 29 minutes. The minutes may go down with Dwight Howard (knee) possibly returning, but Smith still figures to be a key part of the rotation and should be fine to play.
