Smart posted 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes during Boston's 119-104 Thursday night win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Smart poured in 17 of his points in the second half. He moved back to the bench after being a starter in seven of the past eight games and matched his lowest playing time in nearly three weeks. That being said, his strong production in a slightly more limited role off the bench bodes well for his fantasy status as the Celtics close in on being fully healthy.

Smart posted 11 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 36 minutes Tuesday in the Celtics' 109-101 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Smart's defensive prowess is well known at this point, but that reputation is built on his skills as an on-ball pest rather than anything he offers as a shot blocker. While he was able to flip that script for one night, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make a consistent impact in the category moving forward. He had rejected just two shots over his previous 11 contests combined.

Smart had seven points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven assists and four rebounds in 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-108 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Smart briefly left the game after suffering a sprained right ankle but was able to re-enter. He struggled badly from the field, perhaps in part due to the sprained right hand that had resulted in his being listed as probable. Fantasy owners will want to keep tabs on his status heading into Tuesday's tilt against the Heat.

Smart has returned to Sunday's game against the Pelicans after suffering a sprained right ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Smart tweaked the ankle midway through the first quarter, but it doesn't look to be anything too serious. Still, his status is worth monitoring over the next few days to see if he's dealing with any residual soreness or discomfort.

Smart left Sunday's game against the Pelicans in the first quarter with an apparent lower body injury, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart asked for a sub midway through the first quarter and limped his way to the locker room. Consider him questionable to return until further notice.

Smart (hand) is available to play Sunday at New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old sustained the right hand sprain during Friday's win over the Magic, but his availability for Sunday never appeared in doubt as he was considered probable. Jaylen Brown (ankle) is also available, which could shift Smart back to the bench after starting four of the last five games.

Smart is probable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to a sprained right hand, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart emerged from Friday's game against the Magic with a sprained hand, but it appears he'll be fine for Sunday's matchup. This month, he's averaging 13.8 points, 5.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 31.0 minutes.

Smart had 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-95 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Smart cracked the starting lineup for the fourth time in Boston's last five games, and he found a way to produce once again with a solid line across the board. Smart has been the biggest beneficiary of the injuries sustained by both Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown in recent days, and his upside could experience an uptick until the team's starting backcourt is entirely healthy once again. Smart is currently averaging 17.0 points per game in his last five games, including a career-high 37-point performance against the Suns last week.

Smart supplied 37 points (13-25 FG, 11-22 3Pt), eight assists, five rebounds and four steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 123-119 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Smart finished with career highs in scoring and threes while dishing at least eight dimes for the sixth time through 32 appearances this season. It was also the eighth time this season that he has swiped at least three steals, with six of those showings taking place in the last 12 tilts. He certainly stepped up with Kemba Walker (knee) and Jaylen Brown (thumb) sidelined, and Smart will look to keep it rolling during Monday's matchup versus the Lakers.

Smart (ankle) will get the green light to play in Saturday's game against the Suns, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smart will power through a left ankle sprain and play against the Suns. With Jalen Brown (thumb) already ruled out, Smart figures to draw a second straight start. He's averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game across 21 other starts this season.
