Smith (illness) will be available for Thursday's game against the Nets, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Both Smith and point guard Kyrie Irving missed Thursday's shootaround due to illness, but both players will be active for the Cavaliers' matchup with the Nets. Smith is in the midst of an up-and-down stretch offensively, failing to reach double figures in four of his last eight games while shooting just 40.0 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from three point range. Still, he figures to see plenty of minutes against the Nets.
