After being shorthanded for their back-to-back on Sunday and Monday, the Celtics will have their preferred first five on the floor in Miami. Hauser, Tatum and Queta are good to go, which pushes Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Luka Garza to the bench.

Caruso’s status for Thursday’s game against the Lakers is uncertain at this point. The veteran guard has remained a key contributor for the Thunder, despite his counting stats not translating to much fantasy value. If he can’t play on Thursday, it won’t make much of a difference from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Mitchell played his role well on Monday as a supplementary piece. He made shots when given the opportunity, took advantage of his trips to the charity stripe, and made plays on both ends of the floor. He finished as the team’s second leading scorer on the night despite a fairly unspectacular final line. Mitchell’s next chance to produce will come on Thursday against the Lakers.

Holmgren fouled out of Monday’s contest, but not before coming within arm’s reach of a double-double. The third-year center didn’t look to score much but made over half his shots, and defensively, he showed up with four stocks on the evening. Holmgren has had better games throughout the season, but Monday’s performance was solid from a fantasy standpoint. His final line could have looked better if not for the foul issues that cut his night short.

SGA increased his scoring throughout each quarter on Monday before reaching overtime. Notably, he tallied 13 points in the final frame to help lead the Thunder back from a late seven-point deficit before forcing overtime and ultimately earning the win in the extra period. The reigning MVP has been nothing short of spectacular this season. With his heroics on Monday, he’s showing up with some of his best production to begin Championship Week in fantasy leagues.

With no Neemias Queta (thumb), the Celtics turned to Garza to man the middle in Atlanta. And he had a good night, recording his second 20-point game in less than two weeks. Garza, who played 28 minutes, was also responsible for nine rebounds in the 112-102 defeat. Boston does not have another back-to-back this week, which should bode well for Queta’s availability. And that limits Garza’s fantasy value.

Monday’s performance from Brown was not his most efficient, as he finished with low percentages and six turnovers. However, the Celtics’ star finished one assist shy of a triple-double, which would have been his fourth of the season. Brown and the other Celtics will receive a welcome boost on Wednesday when Jayson Tatum returns after taking an injury management night in Atlanta.

Back in the Celtics’ lineup after missing Sunday’s win over the Hornets, White had a tough night shooting the basketball in Atlanta. He made one of his six attempts from three and was not much better from two, shooting 2-of-6. However, as has been the case throughout the season, White found other ways to add value. The Celtics’ guard finished with a complete stat line, helping lessen the impact of the poor shooting. Over the last two weeks, White has been shooting 33.8 percent from the field, which is low for a player of his caliber. The Celtics play three more games in Week 23, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.

Hartenstein has now recorded at least 10 rebounds in five of his last seven games. The 27-year-old center is an absolutely elite rebounder, but he’s averaging just 21.5 minutes per game in March and had 10 points in a game once in nine games this month.

Gilgeous-Alexander couldn’t be contained by the Knicks’ defense as he led the Thunder with 30 points in the victory over New York on Sunday.

The Thunder have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Pistons on Monday.

Queta was on the injury report with a thumb injury, but overcame it to have a pretty good game Sunday against the Hornets.

Queta has only missed one game this month, but his status is worth monitoring with the Celtics playing the Hawks on Monday.

Pritchard moved into the starting lineup with Derrick White (knee) sidelined. It’s no surprise the 28-year-old point guard had more of a role in the offense in this game. Pritchard even led the Celtics with 37 minutes played. His scoring was an excellent complement to Jayson Tatum, who had 32 points. The Celtics next game is Monday against the Hawks and Pritchard would have a higher ceiling again if White remains out.

Tatum’s 32 points in the win over the Hornets were a season-high. The Celtics improved to 9-2 when the 28-year-old power forward plays this season.

Tatum and the Celtics have four games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Monday.

He made five of his seven attempts from beyond the arc, with the five triples being two shy of his career-high.

Gilgeous-Alexander extended his streak of games with at least 20 points, but Friday night was a struggle.

Scheierman got the starting nod with Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sidelined for this game. He played 26 minutes, but he wasn’t able to contribute much in the box score, outside of a decent effort on the glass. Still, Scheierman has had strong nights as a starter this year, so if Brown ends up missing more than just this game, Scheierman could remain a starter and have upside as a streamer. They have a back-to-back on Sunday and Monday, and it would be surprising if Brown played both legs.

Pritchard stepped up on the offensive end with Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sidelined. He had his second-highest scoring performance of the season, surpassed only by his 42-point outing in November. Pritchard has been productive all season, though he hasn’t been as explosive as a reserve. This was a fantastic performance for him, but managers shouldn’t expect him to put together outings like this one often. However, if Brown continues to miss time, Pritchard could receive a short-term boost.

The ten points were the fewest he’s scored in a game in a month, having tallied seven points in a February 24 win over the Raptors.

Holmgren finished Saturday’s victory with his second double-double in three games. An interesting trend recently has been his decreased three-point attempts.
