Explodes for 22 points off bench Smith notched 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-114 victory over the Lakers. Impact After three straight scoreless outings, Smith exploded for a season-high 22 points off the bench. The backup point guard also dished out five-plus assists for the seventh time this season. With Kelly Oubre (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (COVID-19 protocols) sidelined, Smith was part of a three-guard lineup to close out the game and nailed a couple of big shots to thwart the Lakers' potential comeback. Oubre and Hayward are expected to be back in the lineup soon, so Smith's fantasy potential will likely remain limited moving forward.
