3 years agoBoston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) is listed as active for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a right hand laceration. The Celtics don't plan on having Smart under a minutes limit for Friday's game. He'll be asked to step up with both Dennis Schroder and Jayson Tatum in COVID-19 protocols. Smart's return should move Payton Pritchard to the bench, so he won't have as much appeal there. Both Smart and Jaylen Brown are going to be tremendous options for Friday's slate.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
