Marcus Smart has scored at least 15 points just once in his last five games but that's only because the red-hot Celtics didn't need him to go get buckets. Tonight is a different story. Jayson Tatum (right patella tendinopathy) has been ruled out, Robert Williams has a torn meniscus and Jaylen Brown (right knee tendinopathy) and Al Horford (personal) will also miss this game.
Everyone else on the Celtics will get a boost, namely Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Grant Williams, Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith and Payton Pritchard. Smart played just 27 minutes on Sunday's 134-112 home win against the Timberwolves and he still scored seven points. He will have more playing time tonight, as well as more shots and the Raptors are allowing 20.4 points per game against point guards this season.
NBA prop pick: Marcus Smart Over 14.5 points
