Smith will come off the bench Wednesday against Houston, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Initially, it was believed Smith would make another start at point guard with Jrue Holiday resting on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Pels will go with Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon as the starting backcourt. Omer Asik will also return to the starting five at center, unseating Alexis Ajinca.
