Heat's Dru Smith: Sliding to bench Tuesday
Smith won't start against the Magic on Tuesday.
With Davion Mitchell (groin) back in action, Smith will retreat to the second unit after getting a spot start in Saturday's loss to Sacramento.

Heat's Dru Smith: Iffy for Tuesday
Smith (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Smith continues to battle a nagging left hip contusion. Davion Mitchell (groin), who's expected to be available Tuesday, would likely pick up a few extra minutes if Smith cannot give it a go.

Smith didn't practice Monday due to a left hip contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Smith continues to manage the minor ailment, and it's possible he ends up being on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic. More playing time will become available for Davion Mitchell (groin) if Smith can't play.

Heat's Dru Smith: To start Saturday
Smith will start Saturday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat previously threw Smith on the injury report with a probable tag related to a hip issue, but they will need the guard to step up in a big way Saturday -- Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) have both been ruled out.

Heat's Dru Smith: Fills stat sheet in loss
Smith provided eight points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.
Smith has been a rather impactful piece for Miami off the bench (especially on the defensive end), averaging 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks across 18.0 minutes in his last eight games. Smith will likely continue to back up Davion Mitchell.

Heat's Dru Smith: Available for Wednesday
Smith (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Smith is ready to take on his usual role off the bench Wednesday, overcoming a left hip contusion. The guard has averaged 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 16.8 minutes per contest in 13 games this month.

Heat's Dru Smith: Probable for Wednesday
Smith (hip) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday against the Bucks.
Smith was previously listed as questionable for this game, but he appears likely to suit up. Look for him to reprise his role as the backup point guard in this contest.

Heat's Dru Smith: Iffy for Wednesday
Smith (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Smith is dealing with a contusion and is considered day-to-day. If Miami's backup point guard is unable to play, Davion Mitchell could have a higher floor in fantasy, and the Heat could give Kasparas Jakucionis his first NBA action.

Heat's Dru Smith: Scores nine in win
Smith amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 win over the 76ers.
Smith played 17 minutes Sunday and averages 17.1 on the season, but that number is likely to go down Monday as Miami prepares for Tyler Herro (ankle) to make his season debut. Smith averaged 6.6 points, 3.1 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks in those minutes, so he could still have a place within the rotation.

Heat's Dru Smith: Steals production continues
Smith chipped in four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over the Warriors.
Smith does not have a consistent role in Miami's offense but provides great value defensively, logging his sixth game with multiple steals. Through 15 games, Smith averages 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.1 blocks.

Heat's Dru Smith: Available to play
Smith (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Smith briefly popped up on the morning injury report with a probable tag, but the guard quickly got rid of it, which is a good sign that the issue was minor. He's likely to maintain his usual role as the backup point guard Wednesday.

Heat's Dru Smith: Probable for Wednesday
Smith (knee contusion) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
This sounds like a mild injury that Smith intends to play through. Miami's backup point guard holds averages of 6.1 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals through 11 regular-season contests.

Heat's Dru Smith: Active Monday
Smith (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Smith, who was previously listed as probable due to a right knee contusion, will be available for Monday's contest. The guard is coming off his best outing of the season, posting 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and four steals in 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers.

Heat's Dru Smith: Thrives off bench Saturday
Smith finished Saturday's 136-131 win over the Trail Blazers with 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 22 minutes.
Smith is not known as a reliable fantasy contributor for the Heat due to his bench role, but he certainly stepped up and made his presence felt Saturday. The fourth-year guard posted season-best marks in points, rebounds, assists and steals against Portland. If he's able to build off this performance, Smith might be in line to experience an uptick in his minutes. However, he's not expected to have a significant role in fantasy as long as he continues to see limited minutes off the bench.

Smith is managing a right knee contusion but is likely to be available for Monday's matchup. The reserve guard is coming off his best outing of the season in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers, posting 13 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 22 minutes.

Heat's Dru Smith: Notches six points
Smith notched six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Thursday's 107-101 loss to San Antonio.
Smith seems to be holding his own as Miami's backup point guard. Through five games, he's seeing 17.7 minutes per contest with averages of 5.8 points, 4.0 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 48.0 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Dru Smith: Strong two-way performance
Smith had 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 146-114 victory over Memphis.
Smith tallied four combined steals and blocks, playing a handful of extra minutes as the Heat blew out the Grizzlies. Prior to his season-ending injury last season, Smith was building some nice momentum as a 3-and-D player for the Heat. While his nightly role remains unclear at this stage, he is certainly worth monitoring, in case his play forces changes to the rotation.

Heat's Dru Smith: Not starting Friday
Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's exhibition versus the Grizzlies, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Davion Mitchell will replace Smith in the starting unit for Friday's game, so Smith will likely be relegated to minutes in the teens while working in a reserve role. Over four preseason games, Smith has averaged 4.5 points across 12.1 minutes per game.

Heat's Dru Smith: Starting Monday
Smith (undisclosed) is available and starting in Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.
Smith sat out Sunday's preseason loss to Orlando, though he'll return against Atlanta. The 27-year-old guard has appeared in three preseason games thus far, averaging 5.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per contest.
