Minott’s continued absence will not affect fantasy basketball, as he had fallen out of the Celtics’ rotation even before his ankle injury. Sam Hauser is the current starting power forward, with Jordan Walsh and Hugo González providing depth off the bench.

Brown is on the injury report with left hamstring tightness. He’s likely to suit up Wednesday against the Pacers given his probable designation. Brown is coming off a 32-point performance in Monday’s loss to the Pistons. He’s provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks.

White has had an excellent season despite a poor field goal percentage, but the last few games have been rough for him as a scorer. Over his last three games, White is averaging 6.3 points per game on 22.7 percent shooting. However, he’s also averaging 6.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.7 blocks per game during that stretch. He’ll get back on track offensively, but it is encouraging that he can still make an impact even when he’s ineffective as a scorer.

Pritchard was back in the lineup after missing his first game of the season on Saturday. The game before that, he was held to a season-low two points, but he was able to get back on track in this one. He didn’t contribute big numbers, but he was efficient as a scorer. Pritchard has been productive for most of the season and should have no issues getting back on track against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Hours after he was named an All-Star starter, Brown led the Celtics in scoring. Unfortunately, his game-winning shot attempt didn’t fall, so he wasn’t able to cap the night in dramatic fashion. Still, it was another excellent scoring performance for him, even if it didn’t come efficiently. Brown has been fantastic all season and will continue to be one of the best scorers in the league. He’ll look to keep it going against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Nesmith got a rest night on Saturday, but the extra time off didn’t lead to a better performance. He had a rough shooting night and set a new career high for turnovers. He was able to somewhat offset the struggles by setting a season high for rebounds and contributing on the defensive end. This is the fifth straight game he has shot below 40 percent from the floor, and he’s shot below 25 percent in three of those. It has been a rough season overall for Nesmith, and there isn’t much reason to roster him at this point.

Siakam was one of the key pieces that sat out against Detroit on Saturday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He was back in the starting unit, and while he played well, it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. This is the fourth straight game that Siakam has scored at least 20 points, and he’s surpassed that mark in 11 of his last 12 games. He’ll look to keep it going in Boston on Wednesday.

Nembhard has been a decent fantasy option for most of the season, though his production has been up and down. However, he has been excellent as of late. Over his last six games, he has averaged 19.2 points, 8.3 assists and 2.2 triples per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor. He is playing to the level that managers were hoping they would with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined. He’ll look to stay hot in Boston on Wednesday.

Pritchard is back in the Celtics’ lineup after missing Saturday’s win over the Hawks. His return means that Baylor Scheierman will come off the bench, eliminating what little streaming value he had as a spot starter. The other four starters are unchanged.

Pritchard did not play in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, with Baylor Scheierman starting in his place and playing 32 minutes. Scheierman could retain that role if Pritchard sits out Monday’s game, but he has not been productive enough to merit being streamed.

Saturday’s game was the first for Jackson since suffering a concussion during a December 22 loss to the Celtics. While solid in his 17 minutes, the former first-round pick was not in a position to be streamed in any fantasy league. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The Pacers play three games in Week 14, starting with the 76ers on Monday.

Making his first start since December 1, Walker offered modest production in a game that was over by the end of the first quarter. Detroit scored 24 of the first 27 points and never looked back. Walker’s fantasy value in the short term depends on the availability of Pascal Siakam, who did not play on Saturday. Later in the season, the former lottery pick may have added value if the Pacers decide to limit Siakam’s playing time even more.

Brown was on pace to threaten the lofty 50-point threshold for the second time in the past month, but ended up sitting out the final quarter with the Celtics leading by more than 40 points. He set the tone early on in this one, erupting for a staggering 29 first-half points on 10-of-19 from the floor, while also getting to the free throw line nine times, as the Celtics built a commanding 82-51 advantage. The 29-year-old MVP candidate has eclipsed the 25-point plateau in six of his last seven games since January 1. It’s abundantly clear that he’s capable of carrying a contending team as their primary scoring option. The Celtics have a busy four-game week on tap with showdowns against the Pistons, Pacers, Nets and Bulls.

Hauser took advantage of some additional shot opportunities with Peyton Pritchard (ankle) sitting this one out. The 28-year-old sharpshooter knocked down a surreal seven three-pointers in the opening half, finishing with 21 points, to help the Celtics race out to a 31-point lead at the break. He finished with double-digit three-pointers for the first time in his career, falling just three points shy of matching his previous career-high mark of 33 points. It was an unbelievable shooting performance and illustrative of the type of impact Hauser can have when he’s in a groove.

The Pacers won’t have Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith or Pascal Siakam for Saturday’s game, opening three spots in the starting lineup. Jackson, Sheppard and Walker will fill the resulting voids, and they’re worth a roll of the dice given the team’s injuries.

Jackson is available to make his first appearance in a game since December 22. While Jay Huff will remain the starter, Jackson’s return will likely result in fewer minutes for Micah Potter and Tony Bradley. However, there’s no need to roster Jackson immediately, given the time missed.

Siakam’s consistent scoring remains one of the stories of the season. The 31-year-old power forward had 27 points in the win over the Pelicans, giving him 19 games with at least 25 points on the season. He’s also scored at least 20 points in 32-of-42 games this season. Siakam has provided fifth-round value over the last two weeks. The Pacers are back in action Saturday against the Pistons for the second game of a back-to-back.

One minute into the second quarter, Huff ran a pick and roll to perfection and finished with a poster dunk. That play and many others like it Friday showed that the 28-year-old center has truly come into his own this season as he dropped a career-high 29 points. Huff has had at least 20 points in three of his last six games now and provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Rostered in just 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth adding immediately.

Simons went full supernova in this one, spearheading Boston’s late-game rally as they erased a double-digit deficit to take the lead with just over five minutes left in regulation, scoring 18 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter alone. The 26-year-old scoring machine slashed to the rim with greater frequency than usual and knocked down 7-of-16 attempts from three-point range. He’s shown flashes of gargantuan scoring upside, but the simply volume hasn’t been there on a consistent enough basis in a limited role off the bench to make a significant fantasy impact. A performance like this shows exactly why he’s the perfect complementary option for Jaylen Brown as a secondary creator capable of carrying the offense for extended stretches.

Brown wasn’t exactly efficient in his return following a one-game absence due to lower back spasms but he came through with a couple key baskets late, pouring in 20 of his 27 points in the second half as the upstart Celtics pulled off an impressive comeback to erase a nearly 20-point deficit. He drained a clutch three-pointer with just over four minutes left in regulation and added a couple additional buckets down the home stretch. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone has been phenomenal this season, averaging 29.4 points through 37 games, emerging as a legitimate MVP candidate.

Queta continues to be a revelation for the Celtics this season as he’s proven to be an effective rim protector and pick-and-roll threat for Boston’s revamped offense. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 10.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks through 38 games, delivering eighth-round fantasy value during that span.

Nembhard didn’t commit a turnover on Wednesday, the second time in three games that he’s achieved that feat. The overall stat line was a bit underwhelming, but Nembhard’s efficiency was not. Over the past two weeks, he’s offered top-50 per-game value in nine-cat formats while sitting just outside that threshold in eight-cat. The Pacers play two more games in Week 13, starting with the Pelicans on Friday.

Nesmith can be streaky as a shooter, and Wednesday was one of those “bad” nights. He missed all eight of his three-point attempts, and the production in other areas was limited outside of five rebounds. While Nesmith’s status as a starter factors into his being rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, fantasy managers who can’t afford to wait for Nesmith to provide more consistent production may need to look elsewhere.

Siakam continues to do the heavy lifting for the Pacers, and he has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. After a two-game stretch around Christmas in which he totaled 26 points, Spicy P has scored 20 points or more in nine of his last ten appearances. While his season-long fantasy value may not be at the level of his ADP (30), Siakam has played to that level recently.
