Queta has been on the injury report with an illness ahead of Boston’s last few games, but he hasn’t missed any time. However, he is expected to miss this game. Amari Williams started in his place on Saturday even though Queta played, so Williams will have a good chance to return to the starting unit against Atlanta.

Monk was forced to leave Sunday’s loss to the Pistons early with right ankle soreness, and it will cost him at least one game. Keon Ellis could be the next man up in Sacramento’s rotation to grab Monk’s vacated minutes.

LaVine sat out Sunday against the Kings, which allowed Nique Clifford to enter the starting lineup. Clifford logged a productive 15/3/1 line with a block and two triples across 33 minutes, making him a worthwhile addition in deeper fantasy leagues.

With Luka Garza (ankle) unavailable, Williams remained in the Celtics’ rotation on Monday. And this matchup led to the rookie playing more than starter Neemias Queta (four points, four rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot), who logged 22 minutes to Williams’ 26. Following the game, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla cited Williams’ abilities as a screener as one of the reasons for his increased playing time. The rookie’s recent increase in playing time won’t significantly affect redraft leagues. Still, dynasty league managers should keep an eye on him, even if Williams is on a two-way deal.

In terms of shooting the basketball, White had a relatively efficient night at the office. However, he had the worst game of his NBA career from a turnover standpoint. White was responsible for eight, two more than his previous career-high and double his season-high. To put the eight turnovers in perspective, he totaled nine in his last six games. The good news for fantasy managers is that high-turnover nights aren’t the norm for White, so there’s no need to panic.

While this current run doesn’t compare with a stretch earlier this season of nine straight games with at least 30 points, Brown has scored at least 20 in each of his last ten appearances. That said, the steals production in Monday’s victory was just as noteworthy. The four steals were one shy of his season-high and one less than his total in Boston’s previous three games. Thanks to the consistent production, Brown has offered third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks.

Pritchard had a good night at the office, but there was some concern during the fourth quarter after he appeared to jam his left pinky finger while attempting to corral a rebound. The good news is that he returned to the bench after a quick trip to the locker room and checked back in during the final minute to help put the game away. As for the production, Pritchard has now shot 12-of-25 from three over his last three appearances. With the limited defensive production, his fantasy ceiling isn’t particularly high, but the Celtics’ guard has offered a reliable floor.

After coming off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, Queta is back in the starting lineup. With Luka Garza (ankle) unavailable, the Celtics may play their starting center more than usual. Amari Williams, who started on Saturday, could be in the rotation, but the rookie should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Absent from the initial injury report for Monday, Boucher is now questionable to play. He hasn’t appeared in a game since November 23, so the forward’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Celtics’ rotation.

Garza’s absence on Monday will open up key frontcourt minutes off the bench. The fifth-year pro has been a key member of the Celtics’ rotation and is enjoying a career-best season. His minutes could be dispersed to Amari Williams, Neemias Queta, and Josh Minott.

Queta was initially questionable for Monday’s game due to an illness that he’s been dealing with over the last few games. With Luka Garza (ankle) out, the Celtics may turn to Amari Williams to serve as Queta’s backup, but the starter should play enough to provide solid fantasy value.

Monk exited Sunday’s loss to the Pistons briefly because of the sore right ankle, but he did play during the second half. If he can’t play on Tuesday, that likely opens the door for Keon Ellis to play more after logging 21 minutes against the Pistons.

LaVine did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Pistons, resulting in Nique Clifford moving into the starting lineup. The rookie played 33 minutes, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers. While not a must-stream player, Clifford will have value during the “silly season” based on where the Kings are in the Western Conference standings.

Monk was in line for more minutes off the bench Sunday once Zach LaVine (back) was ruled out. The 27-year-old guard played just 22 minutes in the Kings’ blowout loss at the hands of the Pistons, with the lopsided score keeping him from hitting a ceiling scenario. Monk still isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, but he flashed some of his potential Sunday.

It appeared the Celtics hoped to rest Queta for Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, but he wound up playing 24 minutes, in part because Luka Garza tweaked his left ankle during the first half. Rookie Amari Williams started for Queta, but he only played ten minutes. If Queta can’t play, Garza is more likely to benefit than Williams, regardless of who starts.

Sabonis is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his first four games back from knee surgery. This pushes Maxime Raynaud to the bench, which lowers the rookie’s fantasy ceiling considerably. Clifford steps in for his fourth start of the season in place of the injured Zach LaVine.

Added to the Kings’ injury report late Saturday night, LaVine is now officially out for Sunday’s game in Detroit. When Sacramento played two games in late December without LaVine and Keegan Murray (ankle), Keon Ellis was inserted into the starting lineup. However, the fourth-year guard has picked up DNP-CDs in each of the Kings’ last five games. For that reason, Nique Clifford may be the more likely choice to start, but he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Chicago’s decision to guard Brown one-on-one without help proved costly, as he torched them for 20 first-half points on an absurdly efficient 7-of-10 shooting from inside three-point range. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone’s effort was even more impressive considering he played a whopping 46 minutes during Friday night’s double-overtime win over the Nets and has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. He saved his best for the final minute going coast-to-coast for a game-tying layup with 14.2 seconds left in regulation. The herculean effort wasn’t enough for Boston as Chicago knocked down 21 three-pointers to squeak out a narrow win. The Celtics have a four-game week on tap that includes matchups against the Trail Blazers, Hawks, Kings and Bucks.

Simons helped nearly spoil Derek Rose night in Chicago by doing his best impression, getting downhill and attacking the rim in addition to supplying his usual barrage of three-pointers. It was his first 20-point effort since going off for 39 points against the Heat back on January 15. The 26-year-old scoring machine contributed a strong all-around fantasy effort in this one, supplying a handful of rebounds, assists and steals. He remains a defensive liability but he’s capable of scoring in bunches when he gets hot.

LaVine was not on the initial injury report released by the Kings. If he’s unable to play, rookie Nique Clifford may be the player picked to move into the starting lineup. It may also mean that there’s room for Malik Monk and Keon Ellis in the rotation, but don’t bet on that happening.

While Neemias Queta (illness) is available, he’ll come off the bench on Saturday. And instead of Luka Garza, who played 20 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Nets, it will be Williams who starts. The second-round pick out of Kentucky will make his tenth appearance of the season, with this being his first start. Also, White’s return means that Baylor Scheierman comes off the bench.

Queta is good to go for Saturday’s game, which is the second in as many nights for the Celtics. He played 28 minutes in Friday’s win over the Nets, though illness was a factor. Luka Garza may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but he isn’t worth streaming since Queta is playing.

White did not play in Friday’s double-overtime win over the Nets, with Baylor Scheierman playing 34 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. If Jaylen Brown (hamstring), who’s listed as probable, can’t play on Saturday, Scheierman could remain in the starting lineup.

After playing 46 of a possible 58 minutes in Friday’s double-overtime win over the Nets, Brown is on track to play Saturday night. A lot can change between now and the 8 PM Eastern tip time, however, so fantasy managers need to keep an eye out for more injury updates. If Brown doesn’t play, Baylor Scheierman may remain in the starting lineup for another game.

The Kings starters weren’t getting the job done in this game, and head coach Doug Christie quickly turned to the reserves. That allowed Schröder to have his first 20-point game in over a month. Schröder has been a solid reserve for the Kings this year, but that hasn’t been enough for him to be worth rostering in most fantasy formats. Still, he’s more than capable of producing, as he reminded us in this game.

Sabonis’ first three games back after an extended absence were rather quiet. His minutes were limited and so was his production. However, he still come off the bench in this game, but he was far more productive in 31 minutes as a reserve in this game. It wasn’t enough to end the losing streak, but it was a much better performance for fantasy managers. Don’t be surprised if he returns to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Pistons.

Pritchard has been inconsistent recently, but he was able to have a big night in this game. This was his highest-scoring game in over a month, and it was enough to help Boston get the win in double overtime. Pritchard has seen a bump in usage and production this year, and his efficiency has only dropped off slightly. He’ll look to stay hot in Chicago on Saturday.

Brown really struggled with his shot in this game, but he found other ways to make an impact and help Boston secure the win in double overtime. He fell short of scoring at least 30 points for a fourth straight game, but he was able to record his second triple-double of the season. Brown is enjoying the best scoring season of his career, but he has also stepped up as a playmaker. He’ll continue to be dominant in fantasy basketball for the rest of the season, and he should be more efficient as a scorer moving forward.

Scheierman will make his third start of the season on Friday, replacing Derrick White (rest) in the Celtics’ opening five. The second-year guard hasn’t had much production so far this season, but did post a 9/7/4 line with three three-pointers and three steals in his most recent start. He’ll have a chance to put up decent numbers against the Nets as the Celtics try for back-to-back wins.
