Description: Hornets PF/C Jason Smith (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season. SOURCE: Marc Spears, Yahoo! | Insight: Smith has a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He didn't carry much fantasy value but was taking minutes away from New Orleans' more viable big men. | | |

Description: Hornets PF/C Jason Smith (shoulder) returned to action Friday for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. | Insight: Smith (8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks) is behind Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson and Robin Lopez on New Orleans' big man depth chart so he doesn't have much fantasy value right now. | | |

Description: Hornets PF/C Jason Smith will miss up to two weeks due to a shoulder sprain. SOURCE: Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com | Insight: Anthony Davis, Robin Lopez and Ryan Anderson will absorb Smith's (8.0 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.0 bpg) 18 minutes per game, coach Monty Williams said. | | |

Description: Hornets PF/C Jason Smith is questionable for Friday's game against Memphis with a sore knee. He'll be a game-time decision. | Insight: Smith will warm up prior to the game before deciding to play or sit. Robin Lopez (12.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.1 apg) benefits with more PT if Smith sits. | | |

Description: Jason Smith will serve a two-game suspension after his flagrant foul on Blake Griffin Thursday sent Griffin tumbling to the floor. Smith was immediately ejected from the game for the hard foul. | Insight: Smith actually got the start over Gustavo Ayon Thursday and was having a decent game before the ejection (17 points, eight rebounds). With Smith suspended, Ayon (6.4 ppg, 4.6 rpg) should be re-inserted into the Hornets' starting lineup. | | |

Description: Emeka Okafor will miss up to three weeks with a strained left oblique. Jason Smith, his understudy, got the start and played extremely well in 25 minutes by producing 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting with five boards and two steals. | Insight: Chris Paul just makes everyone on the court better and this is the newest piece of evidence. Smith doesn't have much experience, but after a night like tonight he deserves some consideration in deep leagues. Okafor could be back in a week, so make sure you don't cut any player on your roster that has even minimal value. | | |

Description: Smith was traded to the Hornets along with Willie Green for Craig Brackins and Darius Songaila. | Insight: Smith is big (7-footer, 240 lbs), but has not been healthy enough to make much of a mark in the NBA. Maybe he'll get more playing time with the Hornets and be a surprise. Maybe. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
