Smith will likely come off the bench for the Pelicans on Friday against Toronto.

Analysis:

Smith started and played well for the Pelicans on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he will return to his bench role for Friday's game. This is due to Jrue Holiday's return from rest. Though Smith will come off the bench, Holiday will still have a minutes restriction of 15 minutes, so Smith will see a good amount of time on the court.
