Smart (hand) will not play during Wednesday's contest against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard is in line to miss his second straight appearance as he continues to recover from a hand injury. Payton Pritchard shined in Boston's last outing with 24 points (8-22 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 45 minutes. Expect the second-year pro out of Oregon to continue to see increased usage with Smart sidelined. The 27-year-old's next chance to return to Boston's lineup comes Friday against the Suns.
