Smith will come off the bench once again for Game 4 against the Bulls on Sunday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Smith was suspended for the first two games of the Chicago series and wasn't given his normal spot in the starting five upon his return in Game 3. Rather, Iman Shumpert has taken over the role as coach David Blatt's starting shooting guard. Additionally, Smith only spent 27 minutes on the court in Game 3 whereas Shumpert was given 37, which is likely how the minutes will be distributed yet again in Game 4.
