Queta is back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Pistons with a sprained ankle. His return means Luka Garza will head back to the bench. While he may remain in the rotation, Garza does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues. Boston’s other four starters are unchanged.

No surprise here as Queta was upgraded to a probable listing on the injury report earlier Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old center is set to return from a one-game absence with an ankle injury. Queta’s return will send Luka Garza back to the bench.

Brown hasn’t missed a game all season and that streak will continue Saturday. The 29-year-old small forward is set to play after being listed as questionable with a back injury. Brown is coming off a 33-point performance in Wednesday’s win over the Pistons.

Dëmin is out for Saturday’s game with the Bucks for left plantar fascia injury management reasons. It’s undoubtedly a bummer after the 19-year-old point guard had his best game since joining the Nets with 23 points against the 76ers on Friday. Dëmin is certainly a player to keep tabs on for fantasy managers going forward, though he may not be worth rostering just yet.

Mann is dealing with right rib soreness. The 29-year-old shooting guard had 14 points, six assists and four rebounds against the 76ers on Friday. Mann is available in most fantasy leagues due to his inconsistent play, but his role is stable for the time being.

Porter is dealing with low back tightness. It’ll be his second consecutive game that he’s missed due to the injury. Without the 27-year-old small forward, Ziaire Williams will move into the starting lineup again. Williams is a streaming option in deeper formats.

White is available after being listed as probable with a right calf contusion. The 31-year-old point guard had 27 points and made six three-pointers in 31 minutes against the Pistons on Wednesday. White is in line to play without limitations against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Dëmin had his best game as a Net on Friday, reaching double figures for the sixth time, with this being his first 20-point game. The rookei guard recorded a complete stat line in 30 minutes on the floor. Since replacing Ben Saraf (DNP-CD on Friday) in the starting lineup, Dëmin has not been productive enough to be a must-roster player in 14-team leagues. However, he is definitely worth watching in the aftermath of Friday’s performance.

Mann is rostered in only three percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason. While he did record a solid line against the 76ers, his inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. However, it appears that he’s a lock in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, especially as first-round pick Drake Powell (4/1/1 in 21 minutes) also has his bouts with inconsistency. There may come a point later in the season when the roles reverse, but we aren’t there yet.

The bad news for fantasy managers who have Clowney rostered is that he shot the ball poorly on Friday. The good news is that he recorded a complete stat line, which is good for the overall value in category leagues. For the season, the third-year forward remains ranked just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, due mainly to his low field-goal percentage. However, Clowney has been a sixth-round player over the past two weeks. Despite Friday’s poor shooting, he’s trending in the right direction.
BKN • Forward • #8

The lone change to the lineup is Williams, who steps in for Michael Porter Jr. While he’s scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting over the last two games, Williams did go on a run of three straight games in double figures before that. He’ll have a higher ceiling on Friday, but there should be better streaming options available on an 11-game night.

Saraf injured his left ankle during a G League game on November 15. With the Nets already sending fellow rookie Nolan Traoré to the G League, that may be an indication regarding Saraf’s availability for Friday. However, even if he can play, Egor Dëmin will play most of the available minutes at point guard. Fantasy managers can leave Saraf on the waiver wire, but he should be more valuable later in the season.

White didn’t do much during the first half, scoring just two points on 0-of-3 shooting from the field. He did whatever needed to be done at the halftime break, because the Celtics guard was far more assertive on offense. White scored 25 second-half points, shooting 7-of-10 from the field. Despite the many roster changes over the offseason, White’s scoring has decreased. Of course, he’s more of a focal point for opposing defenses this season, and that also impacts White’s ability to put up points. The good news is that he’s still providing top-50 value, as testament to his all-around skill set.

Scheierman’s first half certainly raised some eyebrows, as he scored 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting. That production helped keep the Celtics within striking distance, especially with Derrick White scoring two points. However, White got going after halftime, and Scheierman only attempted one shot in the second half. The second-year guard is capable of providing offensive value, but it hasn’t happened consistently. There’s no need to roster Scheierman in redraft leagues.

Brown recorded a robust stat line in the Celtics’ three-point victory, but the efficiency was lacking for managers who require more in that regard. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, the Celtics wing was responsible for a game-high six turnovers. That category is why Brown is ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats, as he’s averaging 3.8 turnovers per game. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out and the Celtics’ rotation being far more dependent upon Brown, the turnovers aren’t a surprise. As long as he does the other things well, as was the case on Wednesday, there shouldn’t be too much concern over the occasional inefficient night.

The Celtics are without Neemias Queta for Wednesday’s game, as he sprained his left ankle during Sunday’s win over the Magic. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Garza, who may be the post player most capable of dealing with the Pistons’ physical frontcourt among the options available to head coach Joe Mazzulla. That’s the lone change to the starting lineup.

Queta sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Sunday’s win over the Magic and did not return. His absence gave John Minott and Chris Boucher more minutes, but Wednesday’s matchup may lead to additional playing time for Luka Garza or Xavier Tillman. Of the four, Minott offers the highest fantasy ceiling.

Powell appears to like playing against the Knicks. Just over two weeks after scoring a season-high 15 points in a road loss to the Nets’ crosstown rival, the rookie wing matched that number on Monday. Powell didn’t record any defensive stats in the 113-100 defeat, but the offensive improvement was good to see. Since the first meeting with New York, he averaged 6.0 points in the six games that followed. This is going to be a season in which Powell and fellow rookie Egor Dëmin (9/6/2/1 with one three-pointer) play plenty; fantasy managers must hope that the early-season lumps turn them into valuable options during the “silly season.”

Porter had a rough night, shooting 1-of-9 from beyond the arc as the Nets remained winless at home. That ends a streak of five straight games with at least three three-pointers, during which he shot 42.9 percent on 8.4 three-point attempts per game. Porter’s fantasy value is fine for now, but there remains the lingering concern that the Nets could choose to either trim his minutes or go the “injury management” route later this season. He’ll look to bounce back when the Nets host the 76ers on Friday.
BKN • Forward-Center • #21

Clowney didn’t record any defensive stats in Monday’s defeat, but the third-year forward/center had the best offensive night of his NBA career. Not only did Clowney record career-highs in points and three-pointers, but he also finished with his first 30-point game. While his season-long value places him just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney has been close to a top-50 player over the last two weeks. Rostered in 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 14-team leagues due to the Nets’ status as a rebuilding team.

Claxton is good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. The Nets will stick with their same starting five, with Egor Dëmin, Terance Mann, Michael Porter Jr. and Noah Clowney completing the quintet.

Claxton is dealing with left quad tightness, but is likely to play given his designation of probable on the injury report. The 26-year-old center had 10 points in 31 minutes against the Raptors on Sunday. Claxton could have a matchup advantage against the Knicks if Mitchell Robinson, who’s questionable with an illness, is ruled out.

Queta sprained his ankle during the first quarter of Sunday’s game. While the Celtics announced at halftime that he was questionable to return, the 7-footer never did. To account for his absence, Boston went small for extended periods, with Josh Minott (16/7/1/0/1 with two three-pointers) and Chris Boucher (1/1/1/1/1) being the only interior reserves to play rotation minutes. Boston is off until Wednesday, when it kicks off a three-game Week 6 with a home game against the red-hot Pistons.

Porter has been sizzling hot of late, topping 25 points for the fourth straight game. The 27-year-old playmaker has performed at a first-round level from a fantasy standpoint over the past two weeks, averaging 27.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and one steal across his last six contests. The Nets are back in action on Monday night with a showdown against the Knicks before returning to action on Friday with a back-to-back against the 76ers and Bucks to close out a three-game week.

Martin has been hot-and-cold over the past couple weeks but put together his most complete effort of the year in this one. He came off the bench to knock down five of nine three-pointers and reach 20 points for the second time this season. He’s averaging 14.7 points across three games over the past week, which makes him an interesting pickup in deeper fantasy formats.

Brown eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the eighth time this season, pouring in 21 of them after halftime as Boston shot over 60 percent and hung a season-high 138 points on a depleted Orlando squad playing the back end of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone buried a pair of threes and added two late layups to fend off a surprising late push from Orlando’s second unit. The Celtics led by as many as 26 before the Magic trimmed it all the way down to six in the final minute. The Celtics are off until Wednesday when they kick off a three-game week against the Pistons before facing the powerhouse Timberwolves and Cavaliers.

Simons knocked down eight of 11 attempts from the floor, including four of seven from three-point range, eclipsing 20 points off the bench for the second straight contest after playing a season-high 33 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Nets. He’s been a source of instant offense off Boston’s bench this season but his defensive shortcomings have kept his minutes in check.

Minott has provided a certifiable spark for the Celtics this season as his combination of size and athleticism makes him an ideal role player during the club’s transitional phase. The 22-year-old was back in double figures for just the eighth time this season as he knocked down a pair of three pointers and also racked up seven boards in less than 20 minutes off the bench.

Claxton and Dëmin were initially probable for Sunday’s game, so the upgrades in status were expected. They will occupy their usual places in the Nets starting lineup. While Claxton is worth rostering in 12-team formats, Dëmin is a solid option in deeper formats.

Dëmin, who has started Brooklyn’s last seven games, is dealing with a sore neck and jawline. However, the probable tag suggests that the rookie will ultimately be cleared to play. If Dëmin can’t play, Terance Mann will take on more of the playmaking responsibilities. Even with an expanded role, Mann hasn’t been the most dependable fantasy option this season.

Claxton is dealing with a sprained left elbow. While he is listed as probable on the initial injury report for Sunday, the Nets’ starting center is a left-handed shooter. If Claxton can’t play against Toronto, Day’Ron Sharpe will likely move into the starting lineup.

Here’s an oversimplification: Porter was able to get whatever shot he wanted from anywhere on the floor against an undersized Celtics squad. He eclipsed 20 points for the eighth straight game and posted his fifth 30-point outing of the season, drilling four of six from deep and shooting nearly 62 percent overall as Boston had no answers for his blend of size, speed and athleticism. The 27-year-old scoring machine has delivered third-round fantasy production so far, averaging 24.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 games.

Brown eclipsed the 25-point plateau for the third consecutive contest and 11th time in 16 games to open the season, but he got into foul trouble in the second half which extinguished any chance Boston had to make this one competitive. The 29-year-old offensive catalyst was forced to the bench with just over five minutes left in the third quarter after picking up his fifth foul and Brooklyn immediately ripped off a 21-9 run to take a 15-point lead into the final stanza. Brown will continue to run Boston’s offense, but he’s going to need some help from his supporting cast if they’re going to have any shot at making the playoffs.

Claxton took full advantage of Boston’s lackluster frontcourt as he seemed to be able to get to the rim whenever he wanted against relatively inexperienced big men Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The double-digit assists were the real surprise here as it was the first time he was in double figures in that department since last March. He’s averaging 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 blocks through 15 games this season.

It’s abundantly clear that Simons’ issues on the defensive end of the floor have directly led to Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla being sporadic with his minutes during his Boston debut. However, he topped the 30-minute mark for the first time since late October in this one and wound up scoring 13 points in the second half to make this one a bit closer at the finish line. It’s a frustrating situation for fantasy managers since he’s clearly their best scoring threat at the moment outside of Jaylen Brown with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard struggling to get going this season.

It doesn’t totally show up on the stat sheet, but Clowney was a real X-factor in this contest as he relentlessly attacked the rim early on, finishing the first half with 14 points while also blocking three shots on the defensive end of the floor. He cooled off a bit in the second half but led the Nets in minutes over the final two quarters. He would’ve had an even bigger night offensively had he not gone ice-cold from three-point range, hitting just three of 11 attempts from distance.

Queta continues to show subtle but meaningful growth on the offensive end, looking more confident as a finisher around the rim and showing noticeably improved burst when rolling to the basket off screens. The 26-year-old can be a bit overmatched in a starting role against elite interior bigs, but he’s handled the expanded workload well and has become a useful stopgap for Boston during this transitional stretch.

Sharpe hit double figures for the third time this season on Tuesday, and he’s produced respectable scoring and rebounding averages over the last two weeks. During this stretch, he’s averaged 7.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists, but the defensive stats have been lacking on most nights. And with Nic Claxton (7/11/3/0/1) ahead of him in the pecking order, Sharpe’s fantasy ceiling is extremely limited. He’s only worth rostering on nights when Clax is unavailable.

After shooting 27.3 percent from three in his lone season at BYU, Dëmin was not expected by many to be as productive a perimeter shooter as he’s been. The rookie shot 4-of-7 from deep on Tuesday and is averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game at a respectable 36 percent clip. Dëmin is shooting 37.6 percent from the field overall, and that needs to change if he’s to become a player who should be rostered in more than six percent of Yahoo! leagues as he currently is.

Since missing the Nets’ November 3 loss to the Timberwolves, Porter has scored at least 21 points in seven straight games. During this stretch, the Nets forward has averaged 27.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.4 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes, shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 89.6 percent from the foul line. That’s the production many fantasy managers hoped Porter would provide in his new home, posting gaudy numbers for a rebuilding team. The lone concern for the rest of the season is a potential shutdown as the front office prioritizes maximizing its draft lottery odds.

White didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, as he continues to struggle in that regard. However, the all-around production is why he remains such a valuable player for category league managers. White recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday and has been a top-15 player over the past week. And he’s shot 44.2 percent from the field, which aligns with his career number (44.1). The shots will fall at a higher clip eventually, and fantasy managers can still receive solid value from White as they wait for that to happen.

After a two-game stretch in which he totaled 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, Pritchard has scored at least 20 in three straight. During this three-game run, the Celtics guard has averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 6.0 three-pointers while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.9 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for top-20 value, so managers who may have panicked after that poor two-game stretch can calm down.

Brown led all scorers with 29 points and shot a respectable percentage, but the turnovers were an issue. He committed a season-high eight, one more than his tally in an October 24 loss to the Knicks. Brown is averaging a career-worst 3.5 turnovers per game through 15 games, which is why he’s barely hanging onto top-100 status in nine-cat formats. However, Brown has been more valuable by four rounds in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50, according to Basketball Monster.

The 24-year-old has emerged as Brooklyn’s go-to option this season, averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds through 11 games.

Claxton did a little bit of everything for Brooklyn against a Washington squad that had zero answers from a defensive standpoint, hitting five of his seven shots from the field while getting to the line nine times. He fell just shy of another double-double with nine boards and also chipped in seven assists.

Brown capped his seventh 30-point outing in 14 games with a two-handed slam in the closing seconds, putting metaphorical cherry on a dominant all-around performance. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone poured in 16 points before halftime and finished with 17 more after the break, hoisting a season-high 33 shots in the process. He also grabbed double-digit boards for the first time this year to record his first double-double of the season.

White helped Boston build a commanding lead early on with 15 points and seven rebounds in the opening half as the Celtics shot 49 percent (25-of-51) and 9-of-20 (45 percent) from three-point range during that span. He drilled a key three-pointer with just over one minute remaining and hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 ticks left to help Boston hold off a late rally from Los Angeles. The 31-year-old point guard has performed at a third-round level for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks through 14 contests.

Pritchard knocked down eight of 13 three-point attempts, including four after halftime, to eclipse the 30-point mark for the first time this year.

The 27-year-old guard has been inconsistent from deep this season, averaging 2.5 made threes per game after hitting 3.2 per game last year.

MPJ provided his usual supply of buckets, but his playmaking was what was intriguing. His previous career-high for assists was six, but he matched that mark in the first quarter and surpassed it by halftime.

MPJ will continue to be a fantasy stud on a tanking team, though managers shouldn’t expect him to dish out that many assists often.

Clowney has been an effective scoring option as a starter for the Nets, and that trend continued in this game. He has started the last six games for Brooklyn and has scored in double figures in five of those. This was a subpar shooting performance from him, with half his points coming from the free throw line and the other half coming from beyond the arc. Still, his starting spot feels safe, and he has an intriguing matchup coming up on Sunday to close out the week.
