Celtics give Marcus Smart (rest) Thursday off
The Boston Celtics listed Marcus Smart (rest) as out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
The Celtics have given their starters and Marcus Smart the night off for the seeding round finale, which should open up significant opportunities for players lower down at the depth chart. We could see spikes in minutes for Romeo Langford, Javonte Green and Carsen Edwards.
numberFire currently projects Langford to play 28.6 minutes Thursday and putting up 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists for 16.9 fantasy points. Green and Edwards could be interesting dart throws in daily fantasy as well, but we'll learn more about the Celtics' plans before tomorrow's game.
