Celtics' Marcus Smart: Will come off bench Friday

Smart will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Raptors, Jay King of MassLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Smart had started the previous five games at shooting guard due to injuries on the wing, but rookie Jaylen Brown's return from injury will put Smart back into a reserve role Friday. He still figures to see heavy minutes with Avery Bradley still out, but they could be slightly reduced from the 35.3 he was averaging in his last five starts.
