Sunday’s double-double was Queta’s second in five games and fifth of the season, as he continues to hold down the starting center role in Boston. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-footer is providing top-75 value in nine-cat formats. While Queta may not be an elite fantasy center, he’s a suitable option for managers who need boosts in rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage.

While White did not record any steals on Sunday, the three blocked shots were the most in a game for him since November 23. The Celtics guard continues to provide excellent category league value, ranking well within the top-50 in eight- and nine-cat formats. White will only have one game on the schedule for Week 8, with the Celtics visiting the Bucks on Thursday.

White finished Week 7 with an excellent stat line, making it three straight and six of the last seven games in which he’s scored at least 30 points. The Celtics star kept the turnovers in check on Sunday, making it two straight appearances with three miscues or fewer. Brown and the Celtics play once during Week 8, as they visit the Bucks on Thursday. While the schedule isn’t great for fantasy managers, it is for a player who dealt with hamstring issues earlier this season.

The Cavaliers got off to an ice-cold start on the second night of a back-to-back, scoring a season-low 36 points in the first half. Mitchell came alive after the break, burying seven three-pointers and dropping 21 points in the second half as Cleveland roared back to make this one close. He had an opportunity to knock down a game-tying three-pointer in the final seconds but came up empty. The 29-year-old scoring machine is averaging 30.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks over 23 games this season. The Cavaliers are off until Friday when they face the floundering Wizards before closing out a two-game week with a home matchup against the Hornets.

Proctor also missed Friday’s game against the Spurs for personal reasons. The 21-year-old point guard might’ve been in line for some minutes with Lonzo Ball (knee) out. Proctor did’t play Wednesday due to a coach’s decision when Ball was available.

Ball had two points, six rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday. The 28-year-old point guard will sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Warriors for injury management reasons. His absence impacts the Cavaliers rotation, but isn’t significant for fantasy basketball.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin started this game with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, and while he was able to contribute 13 points in 18 minutes, he wasn’t as effective as Wade. Though he typically hasn’t been a productive player in fantasy basketball, he was able to start the second half and turn in a strong stat line during his 29 minutes on the floor. Wade isn’t worth rostering, but he played well in this game.

Mitchell is enjoying the best offensive season of his career, which has gone under the radar due to the Cavaliers’ struggles. He’s averaging a career-best 30.6 points per game while also shooting over 50 percent from the floor for the first time in his career. “Only” scoring 28 points in this game actually dropped his average slightly. He’ll keep pouring in the points to help the Cavs stay afloat until they get healthy.

Tyson has been incredible as a starter during his second season in the NBA. He has been able to start more than expected due to various injuries, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. In 14 starts this year, he is averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game. As long as he is starting, he should be considered a must-roster player in every format.

The main knock on White this season has been a rough field goal percentage, but this was the third straight game he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor. He’s shooting 38.8 percent this season, which is a terrible mark, but it’s slowly getting better. He didn’t contribute many defensive stats in this game, but the career highs in assists, steals and blocks have allowed White to have an excellent season thus fatr.

Walsh has been an excellent defender as a starter for the Celtics, but the scoring hasn’t come consistently. However, during this four-game win streak, Walsh has scored in double figures three times, with this performance coming 24 hours after he had a career-best 22 points. Walsh has been an intriguing sleeper in dynasty leagues for a few years, and the former five-star is now contributing in redraft leagues. It may not continue at this rate, but he has been playing well.

After missing the first night of the Celtics’ back-to-back, Brown was back in the lineup for this game. The last game he played in was his 42-point performance against the Knicks, and he picked up right where he left off. This was his 12th time scoring at least 30 points this season, and he has at least 30 in five of his last six appearances. That was enough in this one for Boston to win its fourth straight game, which they’ll look to continue in Toronto on Sunday.

With Darius Garland out, Tomlin enters the Cavs’ opening unit for his second start of the season. The remaining four starters each started Cleveland’s most recent game against the Trail Blazers, which ended in a loss. The Cavaliers have lost four of their last five games and will look to get back on track against the Spurs on Friday.

Mobley was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but it won’t prevent him from suiting up against San Antonio. With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, Mobley will continue to fill the center spot, which leaves him primed for a big night against Luke Kornet and the Spurs.

Brown returns to the Celtics’ starting lineup after missing Thursday’s win over the Wizards with an illness. He’s averaging career-bests in points (29.0) and assists (4.8) per game, and has been Boston’s best player in the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). With Brown back in the lineup, the Celtics will have a better chance of securing a fourth consecutive win.

Mobley popped up as questionable with an illness Friday afternoon ahead of the Cavaliers’ matchup against the Spurs. The 24-year-old center’s status for the game is certainly up in the air. With Jarrett Allen (finger) already ruled out, the Cavaliers could end up relying on Dean Wade and Nae’Qwan Tomlin in the frontcourt.

After reaching double figures in 11 of his first 12 games this season, Simons has scored ten points or more in six of his last ten, including three straight. And the decrease in scoring has done significant damage to the guard’s fantasy value, as he does not produce much in other fantasy-relevant categories. Simons is ranked just outside the top-200 in eight-cat value, a significant departure from his production while in Portland. Fantasy managers have to hold out hope that he’ll turn things around eventually, but the role he currently holds isn’t great.

One of three Celtics to score at least 20 points on Thursday, Pritchard was also responsible for eight assists. Before the 146-101 blowout of the Wizards, he last reached that number in a November 23 win over the Magic. Pritchard’s scoring has not been as consistent as hoped recently, but he’s still averaging 18.4 points per game over the past two weeks. He’ll look to build on Thursday’s effort when the Celtics host the Lakers on Friday.

Walsh benefitted from Jaylen Brown’s absence on Thursday, producing the best offensive night of his NBA career. Not only did the former second-round pick notch a career-high point total, but this was his first 20-point game as a pro. Over the past two weeks, Walsh has been close to a top-100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While he hasn’t reached the point where he needs to be rostered in more than four percent of Yahoo! leagues, Walsh is trending in the right direction.

With Jaylen Brown (illness) out, the available Celtics had more opportunities to shine offensively against an overwhelmed opponent. White led the way, recording his first 30-point game of the season while also providing excellent value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Even better for the Celtics was that he only needed to play 29 minutes, as they host the Lakers on Friday.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Cavaliers, who host the Warriors on Saturday. Garland’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Lonzo Ball could fill since he’s available. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when given this role, but the fantasy ceiling is limited.

Tyson’s final stat line wasn’t eye-popping, but he continues to hold down a place in the starting lineup. With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for at least another week, the second-year wing should be considered in a broader range of fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Tyson has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Yet he’s still rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, there’s more room for Mobley to operate on both ends of the floor. Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s game, Mobley recorded the kind of stat line that fantasy managers hope to see consistently. His five blocked shots were a season-high, and the Cavaliers’ forward/center has provided top-20 fantasy value over the past two weeks. Mobley will look to continue this run on Friday when the Spurs visit.

Mitchell has scored at least 30 points in 13 games this season, including three of his last four. The Cavaliers guard once again did most of the heavy lifting offensively, as Darius Garland (6/3/4/0/1 with one three-pointer) shot 2-of-13 from the field. Mitchell had a tough night from deep, shooting 3-of-13 on three-pointers, but the two-point production salvaged the overall field-goal percentage. Cleveland hosts San Antonio on Friday.

White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard’s floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he’s providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Payton Pritchard (10/4/3/1 with one three-pointer) took a hit production-wise with White back in the lineup, but that was to be expected after his outstanding performance in Cleveland.

One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Brown dropped a season-high 42 points on Tuesday. Boston trailed by as much as 14 during the first quarter but, thanks in part to Brown, would lead by as many as 21 points before holding on for the win. Brown’s eight-cat fantasy value has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP, as he’s providing third-round value. The lone issue on Tuesday was the turnover count: Brown committed four, but the overall production compensated for it.

After a stellar individual performance in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Mobley’s production on Monday was modest by comparison. However, he recorded multiple blocked shots in a game for the 10th time this season, nearly a third of the way to his total for the 2024-25 season (34). With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for a few weeks, fantasy managers hope this is when Mobley will truly explode as a fantasy option.

After scoring 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Tyson was far better against the Pacers. The 27 points were the second-most for him in an NBA game, trailing only Tyson’s 31-point effort against the Pacers in the 2024-25 regular season finale. With Tyson starting 12 of the 17 games he’s appeared in, it’s clear that he’s considered to be a player who can provide consistent value within the Cavaliers’ rotation. Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats, Tyson is rightfully being rostered in some 14-team leagues.

With Darius Garland unavailable, Mitchell took on more of the playmaking responsibilities on Monday. That did not keep him from seeking his own shot, as the Cavaliers star put up 27 and finished with his first 40-point game of the season. Mitchell and Jaylon Tyson combined to score 70 of Cleveland’s 135 points, more than compensating for the absences of Garland and Jarrett Allen. So far, Mitchell has provided first-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, and he isn’t far away from doing the same in nine-cat.

Pritchard stepped up to carry Boston on the second night of a back-to-back with Derrick White (calf) sidelined, eclipsing the lofty 40-point mark for the first time this season. He came out of the gate firing, scoring eight points in the first two minutes, and finished the half with a game-high 18 points. He finished 6-of-11 from beyond the arc and shot a blistering 68 percent overall. His biggest moment came in the final minute when he buried a turnaround jumper in the lane to give Boston a five-point cushion, later sealing the win with a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. The Celtics open a four-game week Tuesday against the Knicks before matchups with the Wizards, Lakers and Raptors.

Mobley has routinely punished Boston’s undersized frontcourt in recent years, and that pattern held firm as he got whatever he wanted inside with Neemias Queta sidelined — while also knocking down three of six attempts from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old center had a chance to come through in the final seconds but his fadeaway jumper came up short and Cleveland fell just two points shy of pulling off an incredible comeback.

Brown wasn’t as impactful from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back following a 41-point outburst during Saturday’s narrow loss to the Timberwolves, but he still found a way to make an all-around impact in this one. He deferred to a red-hot Payton Pritchard throughout the night and recorded the fourth triple-double of his career by stepping up as a rebounder and facilitator. He also got to the free throw line for a whopping 16 attempts. He’s delivered second-round value from a fantasy standpoint over the past three games, averaging 31 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and one block during that span.

Mitchell got off to an extremely slow start by his lofty standards in this one, but he came alive in the closing moments, draining a pair of three-pointers to make it a one possession game on two separate occasions during the final minute. He’s failed to break 20 points in two of his last three games, but went off for 42 points in the other contest during that stretch. He’s delivered second-round fantasy value this season, averaging 29.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals through 19 games.
