The Rockets have given Smith plenty of opportunities down the stretch, leaving him to average 38 minutes over the last five games. He scored at least 15 points in all five of them, including scoring at least 20 points three times. The Pelicans have been awful on the road this season, particularly on the defensive end. They have allowed just 110.2 points per game at home, but they have given up 116.9 points per game on the road. Look for Smith to stay hot in this matchup.
