Marcus Smart (thumb) cleared to play for Celtics in Game 5
Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart (thumb) has been physically cleared to play Game 5 on Tuesday, but his availability will depend on how he feels after a late-morning workout, head coach Brad Stevens said.
What It Means:
Smart is officially listed as questionable and he said on Monday the plan was to return for Game 6, but it sounds like he may be ahead of schedule. Shane Larkin could fall out of the rotation entirely with Smart back in action.
If Smart plays, numberFire's models project him to score 23.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,000 on Tuesday.
