Scheierman played his role well on Thursday as a three-point specialist. In the start, he drained at least three three-pointers for the eighth time during his sophomore campaign and tallied his fourth double-digit scoring outing of March. He was also one of Boston’s better rebounders and facilitators in the loss. While he may not have a ton of value across fantasy leagues, he’s proven to be a consistent part of the Celtics’ nightly rotation.

Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc. The subpar shooting efficiency led to a relatively unspectacular scoring performance in the loss, on a night when the Celtics desperately needed offensive production. Pritchard also didn’t provide much as a facilitator, and didn’t come away with any stocks. Fantasy managers will hope for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against the Wizards.

In his first appearance after being ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, Brown logged perhaps his best stat line of March. In the loss, he hit the 30-point mark for the first time since February 22, which was also the last time before Thursday that he got up at least 25 shot attempts. Brown’s aggressiveness was needed while playing without Jayson Tatum against a very tough Thunder defense. He did commit six turnovers and shot somewhat inefficiently, but was otherwise productive.

Gafford continues to play some of his best ball of the season, posting a season-high in points on Thursday en route to a fourth straight double-double. The veteran center has been limited by injuries throughout the season, but is in good form as the fantasy basketball playoffs near. For those looking to take a low-risk, potentially high-reward swing, Gafford is rostered in only 26% of Yahoo! leagues.

Flagg was held under 20 points for the fifth straight game on Thursday, shooting below 40.0 percent from the field for a second consecutive time. The rookie forward has remained in a shooting slump since returning in early March from a foot sprain. He did, however, notch at least five rebounds and assists for the fifth time in as many games. But while his well-roundedness has provided a solid floor, fantasy managers hope he can find his touch and deliver some efficient, high-scoring performances.

The veteran forward stole the show against Memphis, needing only 25 minutes off the bench to set a new season-high in points. The near-40-point outing came on efficient shooting, with a spectacular three-point display the key to his success. Thursday marked the first time he’d reached 30 points in a regular-season game since the 2022-23 season, when he was still playing for the Bucks. Middleton has now logged back-to-back games of at least 15 points and will have a chance to land a third on Friday against the Cavaliers.

The Celtics are without Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pritchard and Scheierman are the replacements.

Pritchard misses Tuesday’s game against the Spurs but was listed as probable for this contest against the Thunder, so he always seemed likely to play. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) ruled out on Thursday, Pritchard should return to a sizable role as the first man off the bench.

The Celtics continue to play the long game with their star, and rightfully so. While this is a big game against a good team, the playoffs are much bigger, and the Celtics want to be sure that Tatum is as healthy as possible when that time comes. Payton Pritchard (neck) will play on Thursday after missing Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, so he will step back into a bigger role.

White, who dropped 34 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, is dealing with a right knee contusion.

While Thursday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, the Celtics aren’t going to put too much on Tatum’s shoulders as he continues his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has logged 27 minutes in each of his three games and is likely to hover around that number for the foreseeable future.

Gafford’s lack of consistent minutes has limited his impact in fantasy basketball this season, but he he been solid recently. This was his third straight double-double, and he has played 24.5 minutes per game during this stretch, which is a slight increase over his season average. He has always been a player that can do a lot in limited action, and if he continues to pour in the double-doubles, he’ll be worth rostering.

Thompson has had some excellent games recently, though he did struggle in Toronto on Sunday. However, he has knocked down 18 three-pointers over his last four games and averaged 17.3 points in 23.1 minutes per game during that stretch. This has been a nice stretch for one of the best shooters in league history, but he hasn’t played a large enough role this season for him to be worth picking up off the waiver wire.

Flagg’s rough shooting stretch continued in this game. Over his four games since returning from an eight-game absence with a midfoot sprain, Flagg has shot 34.6 percent from the floor., though he has made up for it by averaging 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.8 blocks per game. He didn’t contribute any defensive stats in this one, but he did record a double-double and match his career high for rebounds. He’ll look to figure things out offensively in Memphis on Thursday.

Tatum has played 27 minutes in all three games since returning from an Achilles injury. The 28-year-old small forward continues to progress scoring 15, 20 and 24 points. Tatum wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 24 field goal attempts, but that’s to be expected given all the time off he’s had. The Celtics have two more games this week and there are enough off days that Tatum should be available for both.

White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points.

The Celtics have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Thunder on Thursday.

Interestingly, Flagg has made seven field goals in each of the three games he’s played since returning from a left midfoot sprain. Sunday’s game was the second straight in which he’s played 30 minutes, and the rookie recorded a complete stat line that included five defensive contributions. The Mavericks play four games in Week 20, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Count Gafford among the post players who have a clear idea where they’re at their best offensively. He did not miss a shot on Sunday, with all ten of his makes coming in the restricted area. Add in a free throw as part of a three-point play, and the result was a season-high point total. Gafford has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances, which gives his fantasy value a slight boost despite his playing time still being restricted.

Flagg, who was a game-time call for Sunday’s game, is good to go. Also of note is Gafford’s return after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Celtics. As a result, Dwight Powell will head to the bench.

Pritchard was at his best when the Celtics needed him most, shooting 3-of-3 from the field and scoring nine points in the fourth quarter to help hold off the Cavaliers.

Tatum got off to an excellent start on Sunday, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and scoring 12 points in the first quarter. He cooled off considerably, shooting 2-of-10 from the field the rest of the way, but the Celtics’ star recorded 20 points in 27 minutes. Boston plays three games in Week 20 without a back-to-back; hopefully, this guarantees Tatum managers that he’ll be available for each.

After totaling 14 points and six rebounds in his last two appearances, Scheierman had one of his best performances of the season on Sunday. The second-year wing recorded his fourth double-double, with the 16 points being the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 30 win over the Kings. With Jayson Tatum back in the fold, Scheierman won’t be as valuable to fantasy managers. But he’ll remain a key option within the Celtics’ rotation, providing depth on the perimeter.

Hauser is relied on for points and three-pointers, and he was productive in those areas on Sunday.

Brown produced another excellent effort on Sunday, finishing one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. The Celtics’ wing has seemingly taken a more measured approach in the team’s last two games as Jayson Tatum gets acclimated after missing ten months with a ruptured Achilles tendon. However, that approach has not negatively affected Brown’s output, which has been a positive development for fantasy managers. The Celtics play three games in Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.

While his role makes Marshall a player worth rolling the dice on in fantasy leagues, his value has been ranked outside of the top-200 since the All-Star break. Against the Celtics, Marshall shot 50 percent from the field and dished out a few assists, but the overall production was underwhelming.

Outside of the points and three-pointers, Thompson’s stat line was incredibly lean. That said, those who are still rostering the veteran wing do so explicitly for the points and triples.

While Jayson Tatum’s return to the Celtics was the biggest headline, many made the trip south to watch their native son play.

After getting off to a hot start in his first two games out of the All-Star break, totaling 56 points, inconsistent production has been an issue for Pritchard. In the six games before Friday, he averaged 9.7 points on 34.4 percent shooting. Pritchard was considerably better against the Mavericks, shooting a shade under 50 percent from the field while providing solid value in multiple categories. He’s another player who should have more room to operate with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returning to action.

With Jayston Tatum making his season debut on Friday, the entire Celtics rotation had to work through some things early on. Brown and the other starters may have been a bit too deferential early on, but everyone got more comfortable as the game progressed. Brown finished with a team-high 24 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording an excellent all-around stat line. While he played at an MVP level while Tatum was out, getting his partner in crime back could give Brown’s efficiency a boost.

And with everything that White brings to the table, the field-goal percentage has not done much harm to his category league value.

After 298 days of rehabbing from a ruptured Achilles tendon, Tatum returned to action on Friday. Unsurprisingly, there was a combination of rust and nerves for the four-time All-NBA forward to work through, and he missed his first six shot attempts. Tatum’s first basket was on a tip dunk with just over one minute remaining in the second quarter, and he would go on to make five straight shots. Tatum was not under any restrictions, playing 27 minutes and checking out for good with 5:01 remaining, the Celtics leading by 25. Boston ends its Week 19 with a game in Cleveland on Sunday.
