Marcus Smart

PG, Boston Celtics

Marcus Smart (right thigh contusion) expected to miss Monday's game against the Hawks.

A Joel Embiid knee to the thigh will do that to you. Smart had been listed as questionable going into this one, but this report makes clear that he's a long shot to play tonight. The Celtics will be shorthanded in the backcourt with Kemba Walker (knee) also out for at least two games, so expect one of Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum to inherit more ballhandling opportunities. They all make sense as DFS plays against one of the weakest defensive backcourts in the league tonight.
