In a rare start, Smart posted an efficient 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, three rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 117-87 win in Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Smart was in the starting lineup due to Isaiah Thomas' groin injury. Despite the start, his 23 minutes were below his season average of 30 minutes per game. This was a nice team win for the Celtics, with seven players scoring in double digits. Smart will probably return to seeing big minutes off the bench when the C's return home to play the Raptors on Friday.
