CHI • Forward-Center • #7

Smith provided a spark off the bench for Chicago as a certifiable one-man wrecking crew, knocking down all four three-point attempts and grabbing double-digit rebounds to notch a double-double in less than 20 minutes. That’ll work. The 25-year-old sharp-shooting big man is averaging 12 points and six rebounds across four games over the past week, which gives him some appeal for fantasy purposes in deeper leagues.

Nikola Vucevic (15 points) was solid, but Smith was more effective on offense in this game while playing just 17 minutes. Smith played 14 minutes in the season opener and missed all seven of his shot attempts. He’ll continue to operate as the primary reserve center behind Vucevic, but it is unlikely that he replicates this level of production often in the future.

Smith was one of seven Bulls players to score in double figures on Thursday. His 24 minutes marked the most of the preseason, which allowed him the opportunity to get up the necessary shot attempts to score in double figures for the first time all preseason. The fifth-year forward was equally as impressive on the defensive end, where he erased several Timberwolves shots at the rim. He’ll likely return to a reserve role when the team is at full strength.

Smith was questionable earlier in the day on Sunday with a headache, but he ended up playing through it and recording a double-double in just 16 minutes. Smith has been the third center option behind Nikola Vucevic and Zach Collins, but Vucevic didn’t play in the second half of this game, which allowed both Smith and Collins (13/4/2) to take on extra minutes. However, while they will still provide some depth, Vucevic will fill out most of the center minutes during the Play-In Tournament.

Smith was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday morning, but a headache won’t keep him out of the lineup for the regular season finale. Nikola Vucevic is playing and will start, but he may not play many minutes. Smith will split most of the center minutes with Zach Collins, unless Billy Donovan opts to play Vucevic more than he should in a meaningless game.

Smith is a late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, which does not bode well for his availability. If he’s unable to play, Zach Collins has the most to gain regarding playing time. Regardless of Sunday’s result, the Bulls are locked into the nine-seed in the East and will host the Heat on Wednesday.

The Bulls list no fewer than nine players on their injury report, so the team could be thin at a number of positions. If Smith and Phillips sit, Patrick Williams and E.J. Liddell could absorb additional minutes.

For the second time this month, Smith recorded a double-double in fewer than 20 minutes on the court. Stix only needed 15 minutes to get the job done in Denver, and his play factored into Zach Collins only playing four minutes. Starter Nikola Vucevic finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. There isn’t a need to add Smith after this performance, especially with Vucevic still playing starters’ minutes.

Smith was on a roll before the All-Star break and has missed his last three games. It appears like he’s ready to return to the hardwood, though. Smith will have a chance to take on a large role on Friday with Nikola Vucevic listed as doubtful.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last three games with a concussion, but he could be back on Friday. Nikola Vucevic (calf) is doubtful again, so if Smith plays, he will split the center minutes with Zach Collins.
