Coulibaly has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four outings, and he’s reached double figures in five straight. Regarding all-around value, Saturday’s performance was one of his best this season. Fantasy managers will hope that Coulibaly is made available for Sunday’s game against the Knicks, the last of a five-game week for the Wizards.

Champagnie and Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams got into an altercation late in the second quarter, which would eventually involve players from both teams. In addition to those two, Oklahoma City’s Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace were ejected for escalating the altercation. With the action spilling into the stands, it’s possible that the NBA hands out a few suspensions in the coming days.

Riley was initially listed as questionable, but has since been ruled in for Saturday’s game against the Thunder despite an adductor injury. He’s been productive lately. While the 20-year-old small forward had just 15 points in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, he still made four three-pointers. Riley had 21 points in both of his previous games before Thursday.

The Wizards released an injury update on Young, who sustained a right quad contusion Monday against the Warriors. The 27-year-old point guard is also said to be dealing with lower back irritation. Young had already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder and is currently without a timetable to return to game action. Bub Carrington should continue to start for the Wizards for the foreseeable future.

While he was not in the starting lineup for Friday’s game, that did not stop Garza from having one of his most productive nights of the season. He played 27 minutes to starting center Neemias Queta’s 18 against the Grizzlies, shooting 75 percent from the field. All that Garza’s final line lacked was a blocked shot. He still isn’t in a place where he needs to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but Garza may be worth a look on nights when the Celtics are playing lottery-bound teams.

Queta was on his way to a double-double by halftime, having recorded 10 points and seven rebounds in 11 minutes of action. The Celtics center would get his double-double in the second half, needing just 18 minutes to do so. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queta has been a top-100 player for most of the season, far exceeding the expectations of many fantasy managers.

On a night when Jayson Tatum (13 points, nine rebounds and two three-pointers) shot 3-of-15 from the field, Brown picked up the slack in Memphis. The Celtics’ wing has scored at least 30 points in three straight and four of his last five games. Since the All-Star break, Brown has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats. The Celtics return home for their final game of Week 21, Sunday against the Timberwolves.

He hasn’t been on the radar of fantasy managers this season, and for good reason, given his lackluster production. However, the rookie’s defensive activity makes him capable of having games like Thursday, where he can do a little bit of everything. Watkins played 27 minutes against the Pistons, matching his season-high in steals and recording a new high in blocks. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a solid performance as far as category leagues are concerned. However, this does not make Watkins a player worth adding.

While coming off the bench limits Vukčević’s fantasy upside, he’s scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances. And the third-year center has two 20-point games during this stretch, including Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. Vukčević made all three of his three-point attempts and missed just one shot from the field overall in his 18 minutes. Starter Alex Sarr (two points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks) played 21 minutes and shot 1-of-12 from the field. If there comes a point when the Wizards shut down Sarr, Vukčević could benefit.

Johnson has been a fixture in the Wizards’ starting lineup since the team’s final game before the All-Star break, but fantasy managers have seldom reaped the rewards. The final stat line on Thursday was lean beyond the points tally, and Johnson’s value since the All-Star break is outside of the top-300. While the opportunity places Johnson on some radars, the juice may not be worth the squeeze at this point in his career.

After consecutive 21-point outings, Riley was limited to 15 points on Thursday. Of the ten games he’s played in March, the rookie has reached double figures in seven. While Riley’s fantasy value since the All-Star break has been low, he’s one of the players whose minutes should not be an issue during the final weeks of the fantasy season. Riley’s a better option for dynasty leagues than redrafts at this stage in his career, which is the case for most rookies.

After ending his Week 20 with a four-point effort on 2-of-11 shooting in a March 14 win over the Wizards, Pritchard has recorded consecutive 19-point stat lines. He’s made eight of 16 three-point attempts in Boston’s first two games of Week 21 while also recording 13 assists. Had Pritchard not begun the season as a starter, he would be a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, which he won last season. With Jayson Tatum back in the fold, the Celtics have the look of a team capable of playing deep into the spring.

Tatum is getting more comfortable by the game, with Wednesday’s effort being his fifth straight with at least 20 points. The Celtics’ forward also recorded his third double-double since returning to the lineup, the second with at least 20 points scored. Boston has two more games in Week 21 without a back-to-back, which should bode well for Tatum’s availability.

Brown and the Celtics grabbed control of Wednesday’s game early and never looked back, going on to win by a 120-99 final score. He recorded his 31st 30-point game of the season and did so while recording excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. The lone issue, at least for managers in nine-cat leagues, was the five turnovers. The Celtics play two more games in Week 21, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday.

Riley has been a large part of the rotation for most of the past two months, but he only recently became a full-time starter. He has started five straight games, which includes three 20-point games, including two straight.

With Trae Young (quad) sidelined, Carrington moved into the starting unit and ended up having arguably his best offensive performance of the season. He set a new season high for scoring and matched his season high for three-pointers in what was a far more efficient outing than what he typically delivers. If Trae remains out against the Pistons on Thursday, Carrington should be in for another start.

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.

While fantasy managers certainly hope that continues, Wizards head coach Brian Keefe’s handling of the rotation has been unpredictable at times.

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.

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.

Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc.
