Hauser is dealing with a sprained right wrist, a potentially problematic issue since he is a right-handed shooter. However, the probable tag suggests that this isn’t a serious issue and that Hauser will play. His availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, especially with Josh Minott playing well as the starting power forward.

For just the second time this season, Simons recorded a 20-point game, with the 25 matching his tally in an October 27 win over New Orleans. All due respect to the Pelicans, but putting up an efficient 25 points on the Magic is a different matter. Over his last three games, Simons is shooting 19-of-37 from the field, and as a result, his season percentage is approaching 44 percent. His overall fantasy value remains low, but this three-game stretch was much-needed for Simons as he looks to establish himself in Boston. The Celtics begin a three-game Week 4 in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Regardless of how many points he scores, White consistently provides fantasy managers with excellent value. Sunday was his first game with at least 20 points since Boston’s season opener against the 76ers, and he also provided solid value in assists, steals and three-pointers. White is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and history suggests he’s capable of being even better as the season progresses. Boston plays three games during Week 4, but only one will be played after Wednesday.

While Brown’s streak of 30-point games ended at three, he’s scored 28 or more in six of his last seven. The Celtics wing has been a better option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat for most of his career, and that has been the case this season as well. While providing eighth-round value in the latter, Brown has been four rounds better in eight-cat. The key to closing the gap is turnovers, of which JB’s averaging 3.6 per game. He had four on Sunday, which was the lone negative to his night.

George once again led the Jazz in scoring, but the third-year guard didn’t have much help offensively. Lauri Markkanen (12/2/2/3) shot 4-of-14 from the field, while Jusuf Nurkić and Svi Mykhailiuk combined to score nine points. George was still efficient offensively playing alongside Isaiah Collier, but the defense suffered as no one could slow down Anthony Edwards. The Jazz don’t play again during Week 3 but will have four games during Week 4.

While Collier was made active for Utah’s first two games of the week, he did not see action in either. Not only did he play against the Timberwolves on Friday, but the 2024 first-round pick was in the starting lineup alongside Keyonte George. It wasn’t solely the guards’ fault, but the Jazz were torched, giving up 137 points.

White was one of three Celtics starters to score at least 16 points, and his 10 assists were a season-high for the guard. Unsurprisingly, he continues to provide excellent fantasy value, ranking within the top-50 in nine-cat formats.

Since going through a three-game stretch in which he shot 3-of-21 from beyond the arc, Pritchard has found his stroke. Making five of his eight attempts, the Celtics guard has gone 11-of-25 from deep over the last three games, scoring at least 18 points in each. Pritchard offers limited defensive value, making his three-point production that much more critical to his fantasy value. He and the Celtics will look to even the score when they face the Magic again on Sunday.

Jaylen Brown wasn’t the only Celtic to make history during Wednesday’s rout of the Wizards. Queta became the first player in franchise history to record at least 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists while not missing a shot from the field in a game. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. What may be holding that percentage down is the playing time, as Queta has not surpassed 26 minutes in any game. He’ll be far more popular among fantasy managers if the minutes increase.

In one of those games, Markkanen managed to drop 51 points in an overtime victory over the Suns. He’s a career 37.1 percent three-point shooter and shot 37.3 percent from three-point range last year so his shooting should get better soon.

Hauser replaced Josh Minott to start the second half of this game, but that didn’t lead to a good performance from either player. Hauser played 28 minutes to Minott’s 15, and it’s worth keeping an eye on to see if this is a move that will carry over into the Celtics’ game against the Wizards on Wednesday, or if this was just a result of Minott being in foul trouble again. Hauser is a good source of three-pointers, but Minott is a superior option in most other categories.

Hendricks got his first start of the season and ended up being one of Utah’s most productive players.

The three-point shot continues to be one of the few negatives on the season for George, but if he can even land the mediocre efficiency that he produced over the first two seasons of his career, he’ll become even more valuable in fantasy leagues.

He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues as he’ll remain a key component of the new-look Celtics’ rotation moving forward.

Anderson’s playing time came at the expense of Kyle Filipowski (two points, two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes), who played the first eight minutes and did not return until the outcome was no longer in doubt. The minutes split was an eye-opening development given Filipowski’s ceiling, especially when compared to Anderson’s.

He was active on the boards and dished out nine assists while committing three turnovers. Despite averaging four turnovers per game, George provides top-50 value in nine-cat formats.
