Adding Marcus Smart and Marcus Morris Sr. to the starting lineup resulted in the Celtics returning to their winning ways. Should Brad Stevens stick with those two in the starting lineup? Our staff weighs in.

The Boston Celtics are 4-1 when Smart plays 27 minutes or more and 2-4 when he plays 22 minutes or less. Smart as a starter just seemed to make more sense for where this team is right now, helping to organize good defensive habits at the start of the game and give Irving some relief as an extra ball handler.
