Smart is expected to start at point guard Wednesday against the Magic, ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Isaiah Thomas (groin) ruled out for the contest after returning to Boston, Smart was spotted with a starter's jersey during the Celtics' morning shootaround Wednesday, so he's likely in line to receive the nod over Terry Rozier. In his previous five starts this season, Smart has averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.4 steals in 33.0 minutes per game, production that hasn't deviated much from what he's provided off the bench.
