EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's game marked Smart's fourth consecutive start and the Celtics fourth consecutive win-- he's averaging an even 17 points per game over that span as a starter. Smart's 21 points against the Sixers was just his second 20-plus point game all season and his eight swipes set a new career-high. The 22-year-old has really come into his own in the absence of Avery Bradley and Jaylen Brown. Smart's ability to sustain his high-level of play will be worth monitoring once Bradley and Brown return-- both players are expected back in the lineup soon after the All Star break.m
