Boston's Marcus Smart (oblique) remains out on Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (oblique) will not play in Sunday's Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Smart will remain out on Sunday despite making some progress in his rehab. "I’m still very ecstatic with the progress that I made," Smart said. "I’m obviously nowhere near coming back, but to be able to get back on the court, get some shots up, and be able to do a [few] more things actively is great progress for me."
With Smart inactive, expect Jaylen Brown to continue starting at shooting guard. Our models project Brown to produce 23.3 FanDuel points in Game 1.
