Smith is day-to-day now, which is good news for the 14-5 Cavaliers.

Smith is actually having a down season for the Cavs. He’s averaging just 7.8 points per game on a career-worst 31.1 percent shooting from the field. He’s also making just 32.7 percent of his threes, which is his lowest mark since his rookie season.

Iman Shumpert and Mike Dunleavy could see extra minutes if Smith misses any time.
