Strong three-point shooting was the highlight of White’s productive offensive performance. He sank a handful, which accounted for all but six of his total points on a night in which he finished as one of three Celtics with at least 20 points. The versatile combo guard also contributed well as a facilitator along the way to help Boston earn a second consecutive win. White’s production hasn’t altered much since Jayson Tatum’s return to the lineup, which should put fantasy managers at ease during the fantasy playoffs.

Tatum reached the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive game on Monday as he tied a season-high in minutes played. In the win, he also finished with his highest shooting percentage since making his season debut earlier in March. The subtle improvements could be seen as encouraging for those fantasy managers who have him rostered. While Tatum understandably isn’t yet performing at his former All-NBA level this early in his return from the Achilles injury, he should be a productive option in fantasy playoffs.

Brown went for more than 30 points for the second time in the past three games, using an 18-point fourth-quarter explosion to help lead Boston to victory. The one-time Finals MVP shot the ball efficiently throughout the night and got lots of scoring production from the free-throw line along the way. Brown also tied for team highs in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots on the evening to land one of his better all-around performances of March. He’ll look to stay hot on Wednesday against the Warriors.

Coulibaly finished Monday’s defeat with his fourth 20-point game of the season, and he was highly efficient in doing so. Shooting 45.2 percent from the field, the Wizards’ wing has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. That may not be elite value, but it may get Coulibaly on the radar of more deep-league managers, especially if he can continue to play starters’ minutes more often than not.

The good news for fantasy managers was that Johnson reached double figures after totaling 10 points in his prior two appearances. The bad is that he only played 23 minutes, and the rookie has not exceeded 25 since returning from a sprained left ankle that sidelined him for six games in early February. Johnson is rostered in only eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason, given his playing time.

Riley’s playing time and production in Monday’s defeat were encouraging. The rookie recorded his fourth 20-point stat line of the season, and he played a team-high 37 minutes. Riley has played at least 29 minutes in six of the Wizards’ eight games in March. While fantasy managers certainly hope that continues, Wizards head coach Brian Keefe’s handling of the rotation has been unpredictable at times.

Young suffered a right quad contusion early in the third quarter of Monday’s game and departed for the Wizards’ locker room shortly thereafter. He played 21 minutes, finishing with 21 points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers. With Bub Carrington getting ejected later in the third, the Wizards will turn to Sharife Cooper to run the show the rest of the way.

Carrington, who was due to play most of the second half with Trae Young having exited due to a quad contusion, was ejected with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Whether he was talking to the Warriors bench or official Scott Foster after dropping Golden State’s Pat Spencer with a crossover was unclear, but Bub said enough to get thrown out. He finished with four points and one assist in 12 minutes.

Despite Tristan Vukčević being available for Monday’s game, he will come off the bench. Instead, Reese steps in as the starting center with Alex Sarr being ruled out. That is the lone change to the Wizards’ starting lineup.

Sarr will sit out Monday’s game for hamstring injury management reasons, which opens the door for Tristan Vukčević to move into the starting lineup. While fantasy managers won’t expect to see him knock down six three-pointers as he did in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers, the opportunity makes Vukčević a player worth streaming.

Vukčević’s 22 points were a season-high, and he shot 6-of-7 from beyond the arc. The six three-pointers were a career-high for the Wizards’ backup center, who played 20 minutes to starter Alex Sarr’s 22. Sarr finished with four points (1-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Moving forward, Vukčević will be most valuable on nights when Sarr doesn’t play, and there may be a few streaming opportunities in Week 21, given that Washington plays five games.

Young departed for the Wizards’ locker room late in the third quarter of Saturday’s game and did not return. Whether that was due to injury or simply the play for the point guard is unknown. However, Young’s playing time has been restricted since making his Wizards’ debut, and there’s no reason for the team to change that since they’ve been eliminated from postseason contention. Washington plays five games in Week 21, but Young will likely be available for three at the very most. Bub Carrington (two points, three rebounds, eight assists and one block in 22 minutes) will have added value on the nights that Young sits.

While he missed all three of his two-point attempts, White was a respectable 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. The Celtics’ guard’s percentages from two and from three have taken significant dips in comparison to his 2024-25 numbers, but he remains a highly valuable option in category leagues. Saturday’s stat line showed why, as White recorded a full line in his 35 minutes on the floor. The Celtics play four games in Week 21, starting with the Suns on Monday.

Queta was on a roll during the first half of Saturday’s game, ripping off 22 points and six rebounds. While he didn’t do a whole lot after halftime, fantasy managers will be fine with the final numbers. The 24 points were the most in a game for Queta since March 1, when he dropped 27 on the 76ers. With no Nikola Vučević in the fold, the Celtics need to rely on Queta a bit more, which raises his fantasy ceiling if he can be consistently productive.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Tatum surpassed 30 minutes for the first time in his four appearances this season. Even better for fantasy managers, he recorded a new season-high in rebounds and matched his high in assists. The Celtics’ four-game Week 21 does not include a back-to-back, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of an injury management night for Tatum at some point. That said, three games of Tatum still means excellent value for fantasy managers.

Bassey, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the 76ers in late January, is back in the NBA. He can give the Celtics a little more insurance in the post while the team awaits Nikola Vučević’s return from a fractured finger. However, there’s no need to consider adding Bassey in fantasy leagues.

White and Scheierman are available after initially being listed as probable for Sunday’s game. The former will resume his starting point guard duties, pushing Payton Pritchard to the bench.

Cooper was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Celtics with a sprained ankle, but has since been listed as available. He’s not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, though, with Trae Young and Bub Carrington ahead of him on the depth chart.

Scheierman played his role well on Thursday as a three-point specialist. In the start, he drained at least three three-pointers for the eighth time during his sophomore campaign and tallied his fourth double-digit scoring outing of March. He was also one of Boston’s better rebounders and facilitators in the loss. While he may not have a ton of value across fantasy leagues, he’s proven to be a consistent part of the Celtics’ nightly rotation.

Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc. The subpar shooting efficiency led to a relatively unspectacular scoring performance in the loss, on a night when the Celtics desperately needed offensive production. Pritchard also didn’t provide much as a facilitator, and didn’t come away with any stocks. Fantasy managers will hope for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against the Wizards.

In his first appearance after being ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, Brown logged perhaps his best stat line of March. In the loss, he hit the 30-point mark for the first time since February 22, which was also the last time before Thursday that he got up at least 25 shot attempts. Brown’s aggressiveness was needed while playing without Jayson Tatum against a very tough Thunder defense. He did commit six turnovers and shot somewhat inefficiently, but was otherwise productive.

Like Trae Young, Sarr’s playing time has been limited, with the second-year center logging 23 minutes on Thursday. However, that’s all the time he needed to record two steals and five blocked shots, excellent production for category league managers. The Wizards play once more in Week 20, and they begin Week 21 with a back-to-back, which is a concern for Sarr managers.

Young played 21 minutes on Thursday, finishing with solid numbers in points and assists. While the minutes limit does the point guard no favors in terms of fantasy value, getting some production from Young is better than not having him on the floor at all. The Wizards end their week with a game against the Celtics on Saturday, another challenging matchup for Young and his new team.

One game removed from being on the wrong end of a historic performance by Miami’s Bam Adebayo, the Wizards bounced back with a solid effort in Orlando. Coulibaly, whose banked-in three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation sent the game into overtime, led the way. His 29 points were a career-high, with the Wizards’ wing recording a complete stat line. Scoring hasn’t been Coulibaly’s best attribute, so fantasy managers should not expect Thursday’s effort to become the norm. However, there should be more room for him to put up numbers as the Wizards close out their season.

The Celtics are without Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pritchard and Scheierman are the replacements.

The Celtics continue to play the long game with their star, and rightfully so. While this is a big game against a good team, the playoffs are much bigger, and the Celtics want to be sure that Tatum is as healthy as possible when that time comes.

Carrington had been questionable despite playing 36 minutes against the Heat on Tuesday, but the 20-year-old will be able to suit up after all. However, with Trae Young (knee) not on the injury report, Carrington will head back to the bench, where he’ll play around 20-23 minutes.

Tatum has played 27 minutes in all three games since returning from an Achilles injury. The 28-year-old small forward continues to progress scoring 15, 20 and 24 points. Tatum wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 24 field goal attempts, but that’s to be expected given all the time off he’s had. The Celtics have two more games this week and there are enough off days that Tatum should be available for both.

White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points. The 31-year-old point guard also had five rebounds, seven assists and a block on defense. White has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Johnson’s offensive production has picked up recently, with the rookie having scored at least 15 points in three consecutive games. He was efficient against the Heat, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Unfortunately, the overall stat line was a bit lean on Tuesday.

Riley led the Wizards in minutes on Tuesday, and he’s scored at least 19 points in four of his last six appearances. Interestingly, the rookie was used in a reserve role in the two games before that, with Leaky Black as the starter.

Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance convinces the Wizards to leave Riley in the starting five.

The Wizards are still limiting Sarr’s playing time, but he made the most of his 20 minutes on Tuesday. The 28 points are the most in a game for the second-year center since putting up 29 in a January 27 win over the Trail Blazers, and three shy of his season-high. However, as encouraging as this performance was, Sarr’s playing time is a concern for fantasy managers the rest of the season. And with the front office wanting to strengthen its draft lottery odds, there isn’t much incentive to play Sarr heavy minutes.
