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.

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.

Amari Williams, who started on Saturday, could be in the rotation, but the rookie should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Duren’s breakout season continued Sunday against the Kings as he put up at least 18 points for the fourth consecutive game. The 22-year-old center was able to hit his season average in points despite playing just 24 minutes because of the lopsided score. He’s provided fourth-round per game value this season. The Pistons have an off-day Monday before starting a four-game week with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Harris was efficient, making four three-pointers. It was reminiscent of the 33-year-old small forward’s 25-point effort against the Celtics earlier this week. The main difference was the Pistons blew out the Kings by 23 points and Harris only played 24 minutes. While Harris hasn’t been a great fantasy asset this season, his production has improved since returning from a hip injury and he could benefit from a change of scenery if he’s traded before the deadline.

Cunningham broke a streak of four consecutive games where he failed to reach at least 20 points with a 29-point effort against the Kings on Sunday. While there was speculation that the 24-year-old point guard’s wrist injury was impacting his shooting, Cunningham largely put those concerns to rest against the Kings. He’s provided second-round per game value this season. The Pistons have four games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

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.

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.

Cunningham is likely to suit up Sunday against the Kings given his probable listing, though he’s on the injury report for left hip injury management reasons. It’s difficult to ignore the 24-year-old point guard’s struggles recently as he’s been held under 20 points in each of the last four games. Cunningham, who’s averaging 25.3 points per game this season, will likely have the chance to bounce back against the Kings on Sunday.

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.

Holland hasn’t been able to contribute value consistently during his second season, but he is certainly capable of making an impact in a multitude of ways. Most of his value this season has been tied up in steals, but he was able to do more than just that in this game. He still has a lot of growing to do before he can be a standard league option, but performances like this show that he will be able to make a big impact eventually.

Stewart had a quiet stretch entering this game, but he was able to get things going on offense in the loss. Typically, Stewart’s impact is on the glass and as a shot blocker, but he wasn’t able to do much of either in this game. Still, a productive scoring night is encouraging since he should typically collect more boards and blocks than he did in this game. However, he hasn’t been able to make a consistent impact for fantasy managers as a reserve.
