Impact Smart hit multiple clutch free throws in the fourth quarter. He also had some ugly turnovers early. Those turnovers and the high steal count are the ying and yang of Smart's play. Smart and newly acquired Derrick White also looked like a natural backcourt pairing in White's first game with Boston. Smart's hard-working play was a key component of the Celtics' seventh straight win.

Smart usually defers offensively to Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, which can hinder his fantasy potential, but his overall production remains consistent due to his ability to impact the game in a multitude of ways.
