Smith registered one point (0-1 FG, 1-4 FT) and four rebounds across six minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.
Smith struggled at the free-throw line and committed four fouls during his brief appearance. The 26-year-old big man was unable to establish much of a role despite Jalen Duren (hamstring) being unavailable, with Paul Reed handling the bulk of Detroit's center minutes. Smith remains off the fantasy radar in standard leagues.
