Greg Smith played 28 minutes against the Suns on Tuesday and had 12 points, five boards, one steal and one block.

He's been useful for the Rockets lately and he's leapfrogged Donatas Motiejunas (no points and six minutes) and Thomas Robinson (DNP-CD). Smith will have a lower upside, but with the Rockets leading the NBA in pace, he should have plenty of chances to produce stats.

Greg Smith, who scored 19 points on Friday, flopped with just six points and four boards in Saturday's loss in Denver.

Smith played under 13 minutes tonight, roughly on par with fellow PFs Thomas Robinson (five points in 12 minutes) and Donatas Motiejunas (12 points in 16 minutes). The picture has been muddled further by the arrival of D-League callup Terrence Jones, who trumped them all tonight with 13 points in 28 minutes. With so many guys vying for minutes, it's a situation to avoid.

Greg Smith vanished on Wednesday, scoring two points in 20 minutes, due to a combination of foul trouble and Terrence Jones' solid play off the bench.

Smith racked up 18 & 19 last week and subsequently took over the starting PF job, but so far he's been a disappointment for fantasy owners. Hopefully the fouls were the primary cause of his quiet night, but it's hard to trust him for Friday's game in Portland.

Kevin McHale confirmed that Greg Smith may continue to start at PF ahead of Donatas Motiejunas and Thomas Robinson.

"A lot will depend on matchups, but Greg's been really good for us lately," said McHale, after Smith scored nine points with eight rebounds and three blocks on Saturday.

Greg Smith made his first career start at PF for Houston on Saturday, finishing with nine points, eight rebounds and zero blocks in 30 minutes.

Kevin McHale wanted more size in his starting lineup vs. the Clippers, so he started Smith alongside Omer Asik and sent Donatas Motiejunas to the bench. The move could stick, as McHale has been unhappy with Motie lately, and Smith is worth a look for a handful of high-percentage points, rebounds and blocks. It was just four days ago, after all, when he racked up 18 points and 19 boards.

Greg Smith will start at power forward against the Clippers on Saturday.

You may have heard, but the Clippers have been known to attack and Smith will give the Rockets some added size to stop Blake Griffin and company. Smith had an 18-point, 19-board game on Wednesday, then cooled off on Friday with two points and nine boards. He's for deep leagues only right now.

Greg Smith followed up his 18-point, 19-rebound outing from Wednesday with two points, nine rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes on Friday.

The nine rebounds are nice but Smith is still following his usual pattern of a big game or two followed by nothingness. You'd have to be in a very deep format to ride that train.

Greg Smith came out of nowhere for a career night that included 18 points and 19 boards in 32 minutes against the Pacers on Wednesday.

He had 18 points combined in his previous four games and he played in 17 minutes or less in three of those four. Kevin McHale has been known to run some messy rotations, so this is more of a thorn in the side of deep league owners with Donatas Motiejunas (no points, two boards and one block) and Thomas Robinson (10 points and four boards in 22 minutes) also in the mix. However, swapping out Robinson or D-Mo for Smith seems like an easy decision to make at this point.

Greg Smith (bruised knee) practiced on Monday and he will be ready to play the Bucks on Wednesday.

Smith had a scary moment during Saturday's game, when he needed help getting to the Rockets bench, but he seems to have come out unscathed. He projects as a backup big man behind Thomas Robinson, a role ill-suited for fantasy value.

Greg Smith left Saturday's game with a bruised right knee, but X-rays were negative and he said he'll be ready to play on Wednesday.

Smith needed help getting to the Rockets bench, which was scary, but fortunately he avoided major damage. The Rockets have a well-timed two-day break before hosting the Bucks.

Greg Smith hit 5-of-5 shots off the bench for 10 points, four rebounds and a block in Friday's win.

He's going to get some minutes at power forward, but with Carlos Delfino playing so well as the starter, and Thomas Robinson soon to be an option at PF for the Rockets, we doubt Smith will see enough minutest to be able to make much of a fantasy dent.

Greg Smith took over as the backup center with Cole Aldrich being traded Wednesday, scoring eight points with four boards and two blocks in 21 minutes.

There isn't a whole lot to be excited about here since Omer Asik (nine points and 10 rebounds in 27 minutes) plays 30 minutes per game and the Rockets' up-tempo pace isn't a great setup for the 250-pound Smith. Donatas Motiejunas played just five minutes and scored two points. Thomas Robinson isn't completely assured of seeing a big chunk of minutes at power forward, but he still looks like a solid pickup.

The Rockets assigned Greg Smith to the D-League on Sunday.

Smith was on a nice run earlier this season, making nearly every shot he took around the basket and displaying great hands in traffic, but he's since fallen out of Kevin McHale's rotations.

Greg Smith notched two points and one rebound off Houston's bench on Wednesday.

Smith missed one game due to the birth of his child. He has been great as Houston's backup center this season, shooting 61.3 percent with 5.1 rebounds in just 15 minutes per game, and could flourish in a bigger role down the road.

Greg Smith will not play on Monday because his wife had a baby.

Congrats to the Smith family for the addition of their new baby boy. With Smith unavailable, Omer Asik will play heavy minutes as long as he can stay out of foul trouble.

Greg Smith logged the first double-double of his career with 11 points and 11 boards, adding two assists and one steal in Saturday's 112-104 win over the Cavs.

He made all five of his field goals and took advantage of his 26 minutes thanks to Omer Asik (four points, six boards and two blocks in 21 minutes) getting into foul trouble. Smith played in just three minutes in his last game, so there isn't much reason to pay much attention to him at this point.

Greg Smith scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting with eight rebounds, one steal, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Smith is worth keeping an eye on while Patrick Patterson (foot) is out. As of right now there is no update on Patterson, so owners will want to approach the situation as if there is a chance that he will miss more than a few games.

Greg Smith scored 20 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 8-of-9 shots with six rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes.

Smith had a 21-point effort on December 4, but had scored a total of nine points in the four games since then before tonight. If he can put together anything resembling a consistent effort, we'll let you know.

Greg Smith scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting with two rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Smith had a 21-point, nine-rebound, two-block game on Tuesday but as you can see, there's nothing to see here for now. We'll let you know if Smith can put himself back on the fantasy radar.

Greg Smith came off the bench to hit 7-of-8 shots for a career-high 21 points to go along with nine rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes of Tuesday's win over the Lakers.

Smith hadn't done much of anything this season, but has some skill. It was probably no coincidence that Patrick Patterson disappeared in this one with six points and two rebounds in 28 minutes, but Patterson is clearly the player to own here. He came in on fire over his last 10 games, and this should just be a bump in the road. But if you're desperate for a big man, owners should keep a close eye on Smith to see if he can build off his big night.
