Celtics' Marcus Smart: Questionable Sunday
Smart is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Nets due to a left hip contusion.
Smart was added to the injury report Saturday with the injury, and considering Sunday's tilt is the first leg of a back-to-back set for the Celtics, the team may be cautious with him. If he were to sit, Payton Pritchard and Malcolm Brogdon would be in line for a larger workload.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Inefficient from field
Brogdon closed Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to Miami with six points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes.
Brogdon posted his second-lowest points total of the season Friday, despite the game going to overtime. Brogdon is averaging the fewest points (13.9 points per game) and assists (3.9) in his career since 2017-18. The 29-year-old guard's main fantasy value comes from his 49.2 field-goal percentage and 49.3 three-point percentage.

Celtics' Al Horford: Minimal impact in loss
Horford had five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Heat.
Horford failed to score in double digits for the second straight game. His poor efficiency was likely just an off night, as he is shooting 54.9 percent from the field and 47.6 percent from three this season.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Awful shooting Friday
Tatum accumulated 14 points (5-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists over 41 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Heat.
Tatum struggled from the field Friday and missed nine of his first 11 shots before finding some success in the fourth quarter and overtime. It was the first time all year that he failed to make a three-pointer. There's little cause for concern, as the 24-year-old averaged 35.8 points and made 53.1 percent of his shot attempts in his previous five games.

Celtics' Grant Williams: Scores 18 points in loss
Williams chipped in 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Heat.
Williams came off the bench Friday and shot efficiently throughout the game. He played the entire overtime period, supplanting Derrick White and playing alongside the other four starters. It was Williams' first time posting double-digit points in his last six contests, ending a five-game streak where he averaged 4.0 points and made just 29.2 percent of his shots.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Game-tying three Friday
Brown closed with 37 points (12-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds and five assists over 46 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to Miami.
Brown nailed a game-tying three-pointer with 2.0 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the extra period, he scored four of Boston's six points. He has scored at least 20 points in 13 straight contests and is averaging 27.8 points while making 55.0 percent of his shot attempts in that span. His 37 points and 14 points Friday were both season highs.

Celtics' Marcus Smart: Records nine assists Friday
Smart recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to Miami.
While Smart is taking fewer shots and scoring less points than in any of the last four seasons, he's also setting personal bests with 7.7 assists per game and 44.9 percent of his shot attempts made. Friday's performance was an excellent example of Smart's season, as he made more than half his shots and dished out a team-high nine assists. His best basketball has been over the last four weeks. Since Nov. 5, the 28-year-old is averaging 12.5 points and 9.1 assists while making 50.4 percent of his shots and 41.9 percent of his three-point tries.

Celtics' Al Horford: Extends deal with Boston
Horford and the Celtics agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract extension Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Currently in the midst of his second stint in Boston, Horford has done a solid job holding down the fort at center while the Celtics have been without Robert Williams (knee) to begin the season. Through 18 games, the 36-year-old is averaging 10.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.2 three-pointers, 0.9 blocks and 0.4 steals in 31.3 minutes per contest while shooting 55.5 percent from the field and 48.8 percent from three-point range. His contributions on both ends of the floor have been a key part to the Celtics' league-best 18-4 start to the season, so it's no surprise that Boston had interest in keeping him aboard for two more years at a team-friendly rate. Once Williams likely returns to the lineup in late December or early January, Horford should stick in the starting five at power forward.

Celtics' JD Davison: Dishes out eight assists
Davison amassed 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 34 minutes Tuesday against Delaware.
Davison didn't have his best shooting day, but he finished as one of five players on his team with double digits in a two-point loss. The guard has now played in 10 contests with Maine so far this season, averaging 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 33.1 minutes.

Celtics' Marcus Smart: Near double-double in victory
Smart totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 134-121 victory over Miami.
Smart finished one assist shy of tallying his second straight double-double, leading Boston in dimes while posting double-digit scoring for the fourth time in his last five outings. Smart has notched at least 10 points, five assists and five rebounds on five occasions this year.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Second straight 20-point outing
Brogdon chipped in 21 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 134-121 victory over Miami.
Brodgon led all Celtics bench players in scoring, finishing third on the team in the category against the Heat. Brogdon matched his season high in threes made and has now scored 20 or more points in two straight contests.
