Smith (groin) returned from a one-game absence with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine assists, and three steals in 34 minutes in the loss to Milwaukee on Monday.

The 76ers were forced to use Jakarr Sampson at point guard Saturday against the Bulls. Smith has been a consistent source of assists with Philadelphia, but anything else fantasy owners get is a nice bonus. He has hit just 31.5 percent of his field goals.

Smith (groin) will play and start Monday against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports.

Smith tweaked his groin last week and was held out of action Saturday against the Bulls. Initially considered questionable to play Monday, Smith will get the start as JaKarr Sampson likely moves back to the bench.

Smith (groin) expects to play Monday against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Take this news with a grain of salt since Smith was expected to pay Saturday, but ultimately ended up sitting that one out. If he does play Monday, Smith likely won't be 100 percent healthy, so fantasy owners may want to avoid him anyway.

Smith (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game at Chicago, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Smith (groin) is expected to play Saturday at Chicago, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Smith is nursing a left groin injury, and his health is estimated at 70 percent. Coming off a three-point, six-assist performance Wednesday against the Wizards, he'll aim to return to double-digit points in spite of the ailment.

Smith shot 6-of-20 in 33 minutes against the Hornets on Saturday and finished with 15 points, career-high nine rebounds, five assists, one block, and one three-pointer.

Since replacing Isaiah Canaan (ankle) in the starting lineup, Smith is averaging 14.5 points, 6.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 29.7 minutes per game. Even though Canaan was out with an ankle injury, JaKarr Sampson still played 17 minutes off the bench, limiting Smith's playing time as the lead guard.

Smith scored a team-high 23 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt) with three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Wizards.

He came from fantasy irrelevance to making a strong case for ownership in 8-man leagues, and there are no signs that he's going to slow down anytime soon.

Smith continued to shine Friday against the Knicks, posting 15 points, four rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 28 minutes of action.

Smith is now averaging 13.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 1.8 steals over the last five games, and its becoming clear that his strong performances aren't a fluke.

Smith is starting at point guard for the Sixers on Wednesday, Calkins Media reports.

Smith is a good source of assists, averaging 6.0 assists per game over his last five contests, but it's seldom that he puts together a big all-around game. Use Smith in daily games and as a stream option, but don't count on him to hold the starting gig. The Sixers have been playing the matchup game a lot lately.

Smith tallied 10 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT) with five rebounds and nine assists in 25 minutes in the win over Sacramento on Friday.

Smith scored 23 points (9-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with six assists and two rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's OT loss to the Bulls.

He took full advantage of his spot start due to Isaiah Canaan's illness, and Smith is now averaging 13.0 points, 5.7 assists and 2.5 boards over his last six games. Canaan will likely resume his starting spot once he gets healthy, but Smith is arguably the one with more fantasy value even in a reserve role.

Smith will get the start Wednesday, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.

While Isaiah Canaan will play Wednesday, he's been battling an illness and was unable to practice Tuesday, so coach Brett Brown will bring him off the bench. Smith could see a mild bump in minutes, but Canaan figures to see near his normal complement of minutes in reserve duty.

Smith will be available to play Monday against the Heat, Max Rappaport of Sixers.com reports.

Smith was claimed off waivers by the Sixers on Sunday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Smith has an opportunity to see extended time on the court in Philadelphia since Isaiah Canaan is the only point guard on the roster who's signed for the rest of the season. Not surprisingly, Smith will be in direct competition with Canaan for playing time moving forward.

Smith was waived by the Pelicans on Thursday.

Smith was acquired from the Thunder during Thursday's trade extravaganza, but with no intention of using Smith, the Pelicans immediately cut ties with the reserve point guard. As a result, Smith hits the open market as a free agent, but will probably have a minimal impact on fantasy leagues unless he signs with a team in tank-mode moving forward.
