Delivers 10 points from bench Smart produced 10 points (5-5 FG), five rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes in Sunday's 117-103 win over the Suns in Orlando.
Impact Smart is much more than a placeholder for Boston's backcourt. He would be a likely starter for a lesser team, and he's demonstrated time and again how capable he is when the Celtics are ailing in their guard corps. He can also play the three depending on the matchup. His fantasy impact can be challenging to predict, but Smart's 32.5 minutes per game pre-coronavirus is a good indicator of his importance to the Celtics.

Starts in scrimmage for Walker Smart produced eight points (3-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and three steals in Friday's Orlando bubble scrimmage loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Love him or hate him, MAH-cus isn't going to allow 0-4 from behind the arc prevent him from attempting a fifth three-pointer. Smart drew the start at point guard as Boston is resting Kemba Walker and his sore knee. Expect Boston to sit Walker a few times during the Orlando play-in games to make sure he's fresh for the playoffs. That will mean more ball handling responsibilities for Smart, who already averaged 4.8 dimes and 32.5 minutes per game before the sports stoppage.

Limited minutes in scrimmage Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Tuesday that he'll limit his stars' minutes during Friday's scrimmage against Oklahoma City, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.
Impact Stevens didn't single out Tatum, but it's implied that the third-year wing will be among the players to see limited action in what ultimately amounts to a preseason contest. Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Gordon Hayward also figure to play reduced minutes, while Stevens noted that Kemba Walker (knee) will likely sit out Friday's scrimmage altogether.
