Marcus Smart replacing Jaylen Brown in Boston's starting lineup
Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart is starting over Jaylen Brown on Friday against the New York Knicks.
Smart, Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley logged 21 minutes together on Wednesday. Smart can guard multiple positions on defense and provides head coach Brad Stevens with plenty of flexibility in his lineup decisions. He's worth an add in standard leagues.
numberFire's models project Smart to score 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 3-pointers tonight versus the Knicks.
