7 years agoBoston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) will start over the injured point guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) in Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Irving was questionable coming into the contest with a sore shoulder, but head coach Brad Stevens has decided to be cautious with their star and sit him out Thursday. Smart was also questionable for Thursday with an illness, but feels a lot better coming into the night and will start in place of Irving. Point guard Terry Rozier will pick up extra run as the backup ball-handler, however Smart makes for the better DFS play for Thursday.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
