With Neemias Queta and Derrick White sidelined, Hauser and Tillman will slide into the starting lineup. Luka Garza started in place of Queta on Wednesday, but it will be Tillman that gets the nod for this game. Hauser should be a reliable source of three-pointers with the minutes boost.

White played through his calf injury Saturday, but he’ll sit out the second leg of the Celtics’ back-to-back set. White is presumably getting the night off for maintenance, and fantasy managers should pencil him in to return on Tuesday against the Knicks. With White on the sideline, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons should pick up additional minutes.

Queta returned to Boston’s lineup on Saturday and went off for 19 points, 18 boards and two swats. He’ll get Sunday off for the second leg of Boston’s back-to-back set, and the expectation is that he’ll return to action on Tuesday against the Knicks. With Queta sidelined, Luka Garza could draw a spot start against Cleveland.

Brown won the battle but lost the war. He was able to outscore Anthony Edwards 41-39, but the Celtics ended up coming up short on the scoreboard. Brown matched his season high for scoring, which allowed him to exceed 30 points for a third straight game. He also set a new career high for steals. This was arguably Brown’s best game of the season, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Cavaliers on Sunday, which will be the second night of a back-to-back.

Hauser hasn’t been able to provide much consistent value this season, but he has been solid lately, having hit four triples in two of his last three appearances. He started the first two games of the year but has been in a reserve role since then. Unless he gets the chance to start, he isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues, even if he has had a pair of strong performances recently.

Queta missed Wednesday’s game against Detroit, which allowed Luka Garza to start in his place. Garza only played five minutes off the bench in this one, while Queta logged 29 minutes. That was enough time for Queta to set a new career-high for rebounds. This was his fourth double-double this year, and in his first season as a full-time starter, Queta has been a top-100 player in nine-category scoring. He will continue to be a must-roster player for the rest of the season.

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.

Queta has been upgraded from questionable to probable against the Timberwolves on Saturday. The 26-year-old center missed Wednesday’s game against the Pistons with the injury. He figures to return to the starting lineup Saturday given his probable listing.

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.

After Jalen Suggs (14/4/1/4/1 with two three-pointers) made two free throws with just over six seconds remaining to push the Magic lead out to three, Black made the play that clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. His rejection of a Duncan Robinson three-point attempt sealed the victory, and the third-year guard continues to make strides. Black didn’t shoot the ball well from the field, but fantasy managers still received solid value due to the overall line. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Suggs has also been excellent for category league managers, but his availability is what keeps Black on the radar in some 12-team leagues.

Wagner has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four and 15 of his 20 appearances this season. With Paolo Banchero (groin) out, the Magic have looked to Wagner more often, and on most nights, he has been up to the task. He finished Friday’s victory just a three-pointer and a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, but managers will benefit from the points, rebounds and steals. The Magic play four games during Week 7, beginning with the Bulls on Monday.

Interestingly, while Bane scored a season-high 37 points, he did not make a single three-pointer. The Magic guard missed all five of his attempts, but he shot 65 percent from inside the arc and was a frequent visitor to the foul line. All that was missing from Bane’s stat line was a three-pointer, and the overall production compensated for that. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-25 player in nine-cat formats, rebounding from a slow start to the season. Orlando, which advanced to the NBA Cup quarterfinals with Friday’s victory, won’t play again this week. But the Magic have four games during Week 7.

Due to back spasms, Isaac was a late scratch for Tuesday’s win over the 76ers. His return gives Orlando another option to call upon in the frontcourt, but he’s unlikely to provide the production needed to affect fantasy basketball.

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.

After a slow start to the season, Bane continues to make his way up the rankings. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and the season-long value is approaching top-100 status. Bane has recorded at least five assists in five straight games, and the improved production in that category is one reason why his overall fantasy value has improved.

Wagner didn’t have to extend himself too far on Tuesday, as the Magic were able to sit their key players for most of the second half. Over the past two weeks, he has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats, with the production being slightly lower than Wagner’s season-long value. While Franz’s season-long production hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (36), he isn’t far off. Next up for Orlando is a matchup with the Pistons on Friday, with the winner advancing to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Orlando grabbed control of Tuesday’s game with a 51-point second quarter, and Black was in the middle of it all. He scored 27 points in the first half, establishing a career-high for points in a half. He would finish with his first career 30-point game and sat out most of the second half due to Orlando pushing its lead out to 46 points. Jalen Suggs, who was ejected late in the second quarter, should be available for Friday’s crucial NBA Cup matchup with the Pistons, so Black will come off the bench for that one.

With the Magic leading by an 82-58 margin, things got heated between the two teams. Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond and Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. squared up on each other, but they were separated before Suggs decided to get involved. For their roles in the altercation, Carter, Drummond, Orlando’s Desmond Bane and Philadelphia’s Jabari Walker received technical fouls, while Suggs was ejected. He finishes with four points, five rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocked shots.

Carter is back after an ankle injury sidelined him for Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Orlando Robinson, an emergency starter on Sunday as the Magic were also without Goga Bitadze, may fall out of the rotation entirely since the team’s top two centers are available. The other change is Suggs, whose return means Anthony Black will come off the bench. Da Silva continues to start in place of the injured Paolo Banchero and should be rostered in deep leagues.

Queta sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Sunday’s win over the Magic and did not return.

Originally off the injury report, Bitadze has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday against the 76ers. The 26-year-old center’s status is truly up in the air at this point. As the backup center, his absence wouldn’t significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Initially slated to start for Wendell Carter Jr., Bitadze was scratched from the Magic lineup minutes before tipoff on Sunday against the Celtics.

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.

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.

The Magic looked extremely sluggish on the second night of a back-to-back after a late arrival into Boston and playing without offensive catalyst Paolo Banchero for the sixth straight game while he continues recovering from a groin strain. Their struggles came mostly on the defensive end of the floor as they allowed the Celtics to shoot over 60 percent from the floor. Wagner took just 10 shots on the heels of a 37-point explosion during Saturday’s impressive win over the Knicks but managed to get to the line for eight free throw attempts to help salvage his night. The Magic have just two games this upcoming week with road matchups on tap against the 76ers and Pistons.

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.

Bane was asked to shoulder an astronomical scoring workload once again on the second night of a back-to-back with superstar Paolo Banchero (groin) sidelined for the sixth straight contest.

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.

Howard was a one-man wrecking crew off the bench in the closing stages, fully capitalizing on extra run on the second night of a back-to-back. The 22-year-old former lottery pick drilled five triples on a career-high 13 attempts and astonishingly did most of his damage against Boston’s starters in crunch time. It came completely out of nowhere, too — his previous season high was just eight points.

Wagner propelled Orlando to its sixth win in seven games, drilling 13 of 19 shots and four of six from beyond the arc in one of his most efficient outings of the season. The 24-year-old playmaker has topped 25 points in four of his last six contests and once again took the lead role with Paolo Banchero sidelined for a fifth straight game due to a lingering groin issue. It’s an encouraging development for fantasy managers, as Wagner will remain the Magic’s primary offensive engine until Banchero returns — a streak that will reach six games on Sunday against the Celtics.

Bane and teammate Franz Wagner formed a devastating one-two punch early, combining for 38 first-half points and ultimately accounting for nearly half (64) of Orlando’s 133-point explosion. The only thing missing for Bane right now is his trademark three-point accuracy — he’s at 33.7 percent through 17 games in his Magic debut — but that feels more like a temporary glitch than a new reality for a sharpshooter who’s lived around 40 percent from deep his entire career.

Suggs’ defensive reputation remains his defining trait, but he cleared the 20-point mark for the second straight game and has now reached double figures in seven consecutive contests dating back to November 4.

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.

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.

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.

Wagner did most of his damage at the foul line, scoring half of his 20 points at the charity stripe. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Bane didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, going 2-for-9 from inside the arc. However, fantasy managers who have the Magic guard rostered received solid value in the rebound and assist categories.

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.

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.

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.

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.
