Tillman hasn’t appeared in a game since March 6 due to a combination of coach’s decisions and the knee injury, so his absence won’t have any major implications in the world of fantasy hoops.

Horford was unavailable for Monday’s win over the Kings, the Celtics’ second game in as many nights. He has been removed from the injury report for Wednesday night and will likely start for Jayson Tatum (ankle) if he’s unable to play. Horford is worth streaming in deeper leagues when allowed to start.

While Tatum has not been officially ruled out for Wednesday’s game, he appears unlikely to be available after spraining his left ankle on Monday. Al Horford will be available in Phoenix and should be the choice to fill the void. Tatum’s absence would raise Horford’s fantasy ceiling slightly, but he remains a standard-league option at best.

Russell can play on Wednesday after missing two games with a sore right ankle. With Cameron Johnson (rest) ruled out, Tyrese Martin may remain in the starting lineup, playing alongside Russell and Keon Johnson. Martin offers limited streaming value as a starter due to his inconsistent production.

The Nets and Raptors are heading for a “tank-off” on Wednesday, so Johnson’s and Sharpe’s absences aren’t too surprising. Jalen Wilson, Noah Clowney and Trendon Watford are all candidates for increased run against Toronto.

Pritchard got his first start of the season on Sunday, but he returned to playing his typical role as Boston’s sixth man. That is where he has been most comfortable this year, and he was once again able to have a strong performance off the bench. This was his sixth-straight game with at least three three-pointers, which lines up with Boston’s current winning streak. Jayson Tatum (ankle) exited early with an ankle injury, and while that doesn’t mean that Pritchard will start, he should see a few extra minutes and shots.

Brown missed Boston’s last three games but was able to suit up against Sacramento. He only logged 26 minutes, but that was enough time for the Celtics to get a big win. Even when he was on the floor, it was a quiet performance for Brown. That isn’t something that managers should get used to, even if his last few appearances have been subpar. Jayson Tatum exited early with an ankle injury and could remain out in Phoenix on Wednesday, which would lead to extra shots for Brown.

Boston is calling this a left ankle sprain. Domantas Sabonis was assessed a flagrant foul after Tatum landed on Sabonis’ foot while coming down from shooting a three-pointer, which is when Tatum twisted his ankle. He shot the flagrant free throws but went back to the locker room after that. He had 25 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and five three-pointers in 26 minutes before injuring his ankle in the third quarter. Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman should take on extra minutes with Tatum unavailable, and if Sam Hauser (back) is back to play in Phoenix on Wednesday, he could start if Tatum isn’t able to suit up.

While Sharpe has recorded three steals or more in three games this season, he isn’t expected to provide value in that category on most nights. Rostered in 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sharpe has provided 12th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Coming off the bench behind Nic Claxton negatively impacts Day’Ron’s fantasy value, but Nets coach Jordi Fernandez has been willing to play the two together on occasion.

While fantasy managers can undoubtedly use the points and assists recorded by Johnson on Monday, there were issues. The 1-of-7 night from three wasn’t a huge issue, as few fantasy leagues use three-point percentage as a scoring category. Unfortunately, the six turnovers will impact Johnson’s value in nine-cat formats during Week 21. The good news is that high-turnover nights have not been the norm for Cam, who has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Nets play three more games during Week 21, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday.

Claxton entered Monday shooting 1-of-16 from three on the season. Against the Mavericks, he made both of his attempts and shot 8-of-11 from the field. The points, rebounds and blocks are more reliable, so fantasy managers should not expect to see Nic turn into a face-up five overnight. However, with the Nets well out of the postseason race, these final games may be used as a testing ground for Claxton. We’ll see if he becomes more willing to take perimeter shots after Monday’s 2-of-2 effort from three.

While Hauser played in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers, hitting eight three-pointers and scoring 24 points, Brown has missed Boston’s last three games.

With the Celtics playing Sunday’s game without three starters, Tatum would have to shoulder a heavier workload in Portland. He answered the call, finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. Over the past two weeks, Tatum has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, a three-game Week 21 may become two for Tatum, as the Celtics will visit the Kings on Monday. While he played both games of Boston’s most recent back-to-back, that has not always been the case this season.

Hauser was scalding hot in Portland, shooting 8-of-10 from beyond the arc. While he did not provide much value in the other major fantasy categories, most managers know what they will get when streaming Hauser. The eight triples were one shy of his season-high, and Sam has reached double figures in three of his last four appearances. With the Celtics visiting Sacramento on Monday, there’s a chance Hauser gets another start, depending on who’s available.

Sunday was Pritchard’s annual opportunity to play in the state he grew up in. With Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday out due to injury, Pritchard moved into the starting lineup. Early foul trouble slowed the Celtics guard during the first half, but he still finished with a solid stat line. As has been the case throughout the season, Pritchard’s fantasy value depends on the availability of Boston’s starters. The Celtics play in Sacramento on Monday, which may be another opportunity for Pritchard to flourish if players sit for injury management/rest reasons.

Johnson provided more of the usual on Saturday, recording a stat line that was nearly full while struggling with his percentages. Over the past two weeks, he’s shot 40.2 percent from the field and 50 percent from the foul line. D’Angelo Russell not playing on Saturday raised Johnson’s ceiling, even though he has been a consistent member of the starting lineup. Tyrese Martin started for Russell and finished with nine points, four rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes.

Two days after a solid performance against the Pacers came to a premature end due to his ejection, Watford made up for lost time on Saturday. The 26 points are the most he’s scored in a Nets uniform and one shy of his career-high.

The Nets play four games during Week 21, starting with Dallas on Monday.

Johnson did not play in Thursday’s overtime loss to the Pacers, sitting out for rest reasons.

Tatum was back in the lineup after missing Tuesday’s game against Brooklyn. With the way the schedule worked out, this was Tatum’s first game in almost a week. He extended his 20-point streak to six games, but the extra rest didn’t help his field goal percentage, and he compounded his inefficiencies by turning the ball over six times. Jaylen Brown is set to remain out on Sunday, so Tatum will continue to see a slight uptick in shots for Boston to close out the week, though that is the first leg of a back-to-back. It’s unclear which leg Tatum will play in, though he could play in both.

Boston was without Jaylen Brown for this game and is set to be without him again to close out the week on Sunday in Portland. That means that Pritchard should once again see some extra minutes. His numbers weren’t eye-popping, but he has scored in double figures in four straight games. Pritchard has certainly gone through some cold stretches this season, but when he starts to heat up, it usually lasts for a few games. He’ll look to add more buckets and three-pointers on Sunday, which is the first night of a back-to-back for Boston.

Porzingis has been on a tear since returning from an eight-game absence. Porzingis has averaged 25.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers while shooting 61.4 percent from the floor across his last three games. On Friday, he only needed 25 minutes to reach 27 points, and he scored 21 of his points in just the first half. He’s been on a hot streak, but with a back-to-back coming up on Sunday and Monday, he could miss one of those games.

Russell shrugged off a slow start to the game and ended up scoring at least 20 points for the second time since the All-Star break. It was still an inefficient shooting night, but that isn’t new for him. He has shot below 40 percent from the floor in five straight games and has shot 39.5 percent from the floor this season, which is a steep drop from his 45.6 percent shooting last year. Russell is still capable of being a strong fantasy asset, but he has had quite a few poor performances recently and has also missed quite a few games.

Williams fell one point shy of tying his season-high, which he set back in November. However, he was able to set a new career-high for three-pointers made despite the loss. The 23-year-old has hit 13 three-pointers across his last three appearances and has provided top-75 value nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks. The former lottery pick has had a solid first season in Brooklyn and should continue to play a significant role for them over the final few weeks of the season.

Watford was able to contribute solid value off the bench across his 27 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Pacers. He led the reserves in scoring and had at least 10 points for a third-straight game. However, his night came to an end with a few minutes left in the fourth quarter after he got into a heated scuffle with some Pacers players that ended with coaches prying players away. The altercation was physical enough that Watford has a chance to be suspended, but that isn’t a guarantee. He also isn’t a player to roster in most formats, but as the season winds down, he may continue to see his role expand.

While Boston’s starting backcourt of Holiday and Derrick White recorded solid stat lines, category league managers took a beating in the field goal percentage department. Holiday shot 5-of-14 from the field, while White (18/5/4/0/1 with three three-pointers) was even worse, shooting 6-of-19. However, Holiday has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, while White is ranked within the top 20 according to Basketball Monster. They’ll look to clean up the shooting percentage on Friday when the Celtics visit the Jazz.

While Johnson’s fantasy ranking has been low for most of the season, the main culprit has been his field goal percentage. Shooting 40 percent from the field, he has been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Russell scored a team-high 18 points on Tuesday, but the fact that he struggled from the field is unsurprising, given the opposition. Pestered by Derrick White or Jrue Holiday for most of the night, the Nets point guard shot 6-of-18 from the field. The good news for fantasy managers, especially those in category leagues, is that he only committed two turnovers and finished with a solid assist-to-turnover ratio. Russell has played 29 minutes in three of his last five outings, enough time to provide solid value when he’s on the court.
