Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart led the team with 21 points in Sunday's 109-97 win over Toronto, adding eight rebounds and six assists to his line with four turnovers in 38 minutes. He was a nice 4-for-10 with the three-ball and shot 7-for-16 overall from the field while going 3-for-3 at the foul line. Smart does all the little things for Boston, and he's hit some scoring form lately, getting 20-plus points in half of his last six appearances. With that said, the 27-year-old generally cools ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart put in a strong line of 22 points, eight rebounds, and six assists during a 130-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The 27-year-old shot an efficient 9-for-13 from the field, including 1-for-2 from three-point range, and 3-for-5 from the free-throw line. The two-time All-Defensive First Team guard also added a steal across 30 minutes of action. Smart's season-high scoring performance should be viewed as a blip rather than a trend. The Oklahoma ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He didn't travel with the team while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. Smart has been a bit underwhelming early in the season, but fantasy managers should stick with him. Dennis Schroder and Payton Pritchard should see more minutes without Smart available. Schroder is worth a look in DFS contests for Saturday's slate.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Smart was a little banged up after the double overtime thriller against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, but looks like he will be able to play through any soreness. If Smart is limited or has a setback, Payton Pritchard and Dennis Schroeder will be the next in line for minutes.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart will remain with the team, agreeing to a four-year, $77.1 million extension on Monday evening. Smart has been the subject of consistent trade rumors during the offseason. However, with the C's locking up the 27-year-old to a max deal, it's evident that the franchise wants to keep him around for many seasons to come. While the sixth-overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft has built a sound reputation based on his defensive tenacity, he will be coming off a career ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played 33 minutes on Tuesday, but it sounds like the Celtics are going to play it safe with the playoffs starting next week. He'll join a handful of his teammates on the sideline for this one. Evan Fournier, Payton Pritchard and Carsen Edwards should see more minutes with Smart sidelined. Fournier is the best streaming choice and DFS option out of the three.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) and guard Kemba Walker (illness) are available to play in Thursday's game against the Suns. Tatum has been nursing a left ankle injury, though he hasn't missed a game since March 22, so it's not surprising to see him out there. Walker and Marcus Smart (illness) have been dealing with non-COVID-related illnesses but will be available. It could be a tough matchup for all three players, as Phoenix has had a strong defense this season, ranking fifth in ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart cooked up a big fantasy line in Friday's 122-114 win over Milwaukee, finishing with 23 points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. He went off for seven triples and shot 8-for-15 overall from the field. Smart's campaign has been badly affected by injury, but he's busy every night on the court when he's healthy. He'll look to produce another all-around performance on Saturday against OKC in a matchup, which provides Boston with a pace-up ...

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart is officially off of the minutes cap that he has dealt with over his past six outings. The announcement is fortuitous, as Smart figures to now see an increase in playing time Monday against Memphis with Kemba Walker (rest) unavailable. Smart has averaged 11.3 points and 3.5 assists since returning from a calf injury that cost him nearly a month and a half. While he remains a significant part of Boston's backcourt mix, his name has also been ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (calf) was seen getting in a workout on Tuesday as he continues to work himself back into shape. Head coach Brad Stevens mentioned that Smart will miss the first game coming out of the All-Star break. However, Smart could return shortly after that as he continues making steady progress. The hope is that Smart can return around mid-March, but we'll see how it goes. His return would mean less minutes for Javonte Green and Payton Pritchard. Neither of them have ...
