The Houston Rockets’ Jabari Smith is set to return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension, as the team prepares to face the Thunder in their upcoming game. Smith, who missed the previous game due to a suspension, will be taking the place of Jock Landale in the starting five on Wednesday.

Smith has been a key player for the Rockets, averaging 12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 28.0 minutes over his last 10 appearances. His return to the starting lineup is expected to bolster the team’s performance and provide a significant boost in the upcoming game against the Thunder.

This development comes after Smith’s recent suspension, which caused him to sit out a game. However, the Rockets will now benefit from his presence as he resumes his role in the starting lineup, showcasing his skills and contributing to the team’s efforts on the court.

Throughout the season, Smith has demonstrated his value to the team, with notable performances and contributions in various games. His return to the starting lineup is anticipated to have a positive impact on the Rockets’ overall gameplay and strategy as they gear up to take on the Thunder.
