3 years agoBoston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart soared up the offensive gameplan in Monday's loss to Toronto with Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaylen Brown (knee), and Al Horford (personal) all unavailable. Smart collected a season-best 28 points and 10 rebounds across his 40 minutes, marking his first points/rebounds double-double of the year, and first since March 8, 2020. While Smart scuffled from long range (2-for-11), he added four assists and was undoubtedly the team's No. 1 scoring option, a note to consider if Boston remains significantly short-handed for Wednesday's game vs. the Heat.--Jesse Borek
