Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (abdominal) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He appeared to be in a good amount of pain after last game and he's been banged up lately. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Celtics decide to give Smart a day off. Semi Ojeleye, Brad Wanamaker, and Carsen Edwards would be asked to pick up extra minutes if Smart is out.

Smart was everywhere for the Celtics and came up big at the end, making two clutch baskets and a clutch steal that helped seal the deal for Boston.

He also had three rebounds and two steals in 40 minutes on the floor with zero turnovers. Smart was just 1-for-11 from behind the arc, but he still ended up as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum. Kemba Walker had a tough game with 13 points on 4-for-17 shooting. Smart is never going to be an effective scorer, ...

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is expected to be fine for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart had a chance to win the game at the buzzer Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings, but his shot falling off the rim was emblematic of his performance as a whole. Smart scuffled to the tune of 2-for-16 shooting overall, including going 1-for-8 from deep, as he finished with five points, his first single-digit scoring effort in 10 days.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was the main contributor off of the Celtics bench in Saturday's 135-115 win over the Spurs totalling 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes of action.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. Smart might miss a few preseason games, but this is nothing serious. Jaylen Brown and Smart are going to be fighting for a spot in the starting five. Regardless, Smart is going to have fantasy value either on the bench or as a starter. He's someone worth looking at in the second half of most drafts.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is coming off a season that saw him improve his shooting percentages enough to make him a borderline must-own player across most formats. With a much-improved shooting split of .422/.364/.806, Smart is no longer the defense-only player he once was. He offers elite steal's numbers (1.8 a game in 2018-19) and solid 8.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.6 triples a night across 27.5 minutes (which was his lowest since his second season). With Kyrie Irving ...

The NBA Draft has come and gone. Fortunately, we now get to incessantly talk about it all weekend until the eventual free agent rumors reemerge and take over the news cycle. There were not too many shocking selections in the first round, and while plenty of picks were spoiled prior to the draft's start, it was as entertaining as ever. The trade-a-palooza was very much appreciated by myself and most other fans who love chaos and analyzing changing scenarios in real-time. Every other pick felt lik[...]

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is expected to see more playing time in Game 5 versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Smart played just 15 minutes in Game 4, but this is a win-or-go-home scenario for the Celtics. Smart made just one field goal from the floor last game, so he's going to need to shoot better if he wants more minutes.
