After totaling 56 points in the first two games of Boston’s four-game road trip, Pritchard’s production fell off considerably in the last two. Counting Tuesday’s win over the Suns, he produced 11 points on 3-of-19 shooting from the field. To say that Pritchard is likely looking forward to the Celtics getting back to Boston would be an understatement. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned, however, as Pritchard’s overall production this season has been solid.

Brown last failed to score at least 20 points in a game on January 5, when he tallied 14 in a win over the Bulls. He kept the streak going on Wednesday, but the Celtics’ wing, and many of his teammates, looked a bit gassed in Denver. The Celtics ended their four-game road trip with a 3-1 record and will face the Nets at home on Friday. As long as he’s healthy, Brown should be in line for a big night.

White has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games, the first time he’s done so since mid-December. However, looks can be deceiving. White scored 18 of his 20 points in the second quarter, shooting 6-of-7 from the field. White’s overall stat line was a good one, as has been the case on nights when he’s shot the ball even worse than he did in Denver. But things could have been even better for him in the final game of Boston’s road trip.

On a night when all nine Warriors who saw action scored at least nine points, Payton was among the most productive. GPII matched his season-high with 19 points, and his overall line only lacked a blocked shot. Draymond Green (back) and De’Anthony Melton (knee) being out freed up additional opportunities for Payton, and he took advantage. Give him credit for that, but Wednesday’s performance doesn’t change anything regarding Payton’s fantasy value.

Horford was back in the Warriors’ starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans, stepping in for the injured Draymond Green (back). The veteran center had a decent night, providing the most value in the rebound and assist categories. Horford’s lack of availability for back-to-backs has made him a challenging player to trust in most fantasy leagues. Still, he may be worth the risk if Kristaps Porziņǵis (illness) remains out for an extended period.

After coming off the bench in each of his last seven appearances, Podziemski was inserted into the Warriors’ starting lineup on Wednesday. While the shooting wasn’t great, the third-year guard offered solid value in the rebound and assist categories. If Podziemski continues to start over Pat Spencer (12/2/9/1/1 with two three-pointers in 32 minutes), that would raise his fantasy ceiling. However, the boost would not be significant, as Podz was already playing heavy minutes.

Even with the Grizzlies headed for the draft lottery, Wednesday’s performance was one of the Warriors’ best this season. Eight of the nine players who saw action reached double figures, with Richard’s 21 points leading the way. While the rookie has played well enough to earn opportunities, he hasn’t gotten enough run to affect fantasy basketball consistently. On average, Richard’s play will be more impactful in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues.

The Warriors won’t have Draymond Green for Wednesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Horford fills the void after not playing in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans. The other changes are Podziemski and Richard, who step in for De’Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer. While Spencer is available, Melton is out.

Just over two weeks removed from recording his first career double-double, Scheierman posted his second on Tuesday. Since moving into the starting lineup on February 8, the second-year guard has averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game. Scheierman’s production hasn’t been enough to get him on the radar of most fantasy leagues, but he’s played well enough to remain in the starting lineup.

While Jaylen Brown’s MVP-level play is the biggest reason the Celtics have exceeded expectations thus far, Queta’s improvement has been nearly as significant. The Celtics’ center recorded his tenth double-double of the season in Tuesday’s victory while also tallying two blocked shots. Queta’s fantasy value has dropped outside the top-100 after an excellent start to the season, but he isn’t too far away from that threshold. Boston plays three more games in Week 18, starting with the final game of its road trip on Wednesday in Denver.

Hauser is most valuable to fantasy managers needing three-point production, and he’s made four triples in three of his last four appearances. Tuesday’s stat line included a bonus in the form of four assists, and he’s recorded 11 over his last three games. Hauser’s performance in Phoenix didn’t change much regarding his fantasy value moving forward, but the recent increase in assist production is a positive development.

With Jaylen Brown unavailable due to injury, the Celtics needed a bit more from White offensively than they’ve received recently. Unsurprisingly, he answered the call, recording his first 20-point game since before the All-Star break while shooting 50 percent from the field. Of course, the improved scoring output didn’t prevent White from recording a complete stat line, which included four defensive contributions. Even when the shots aren’t falling, White remains one of the best guards to roster in category leagues.

Over the past month, Santos has averaged 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, which has led to top-50 production during this stretch. He stepped into the starting unit when Stephen Curry (knee) went down, and with Curry still set to miss at least a few more games, Santos should be considered a must-roster player.

Two days after Podz turned in an 18/15/9 line, he recorded another monster double-double, though he didn’t supply as many assists. He set his career high for boards in two consecutive games. He has his issues as a scorer, but Podz has been producing at a high level in recent weeks with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined. If he can keep this up for the rest of the season, he’ll make a big impact for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Melton has stepped up with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined, and this was arguably his best performance. This was his highest-scoring performance since he scored 30 points for the 76ers in 2023. Melton had a long recovery after missing over a year with a torn ACL, but he is back to producing at a high level and should be considered a must-roster player.

Brown is dealing with a right knee contusion that will keep him sidelined for at least one contest. The Celtics play again on Wednesday when they face the Nuggets on the road, so it’s possible he’s getting the night off purely for maintenance on the front leg of a back-to-back set. Brown’s absence should mean more run for Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman, with Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard likely to see bumps in playing time, too.

Green is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans with left low back injury management.

White recorded another complete stat line in Sunday’s win over the Lakers, continuing to provide excellent fantasy value despite shooting less than 40 percent from the field.

The Celtics open their four-game Week 18 on Tuesday in Phoenix.

Since Pritchard has started 48 games this season, he won’t be eligible to repeat as NBA Sixth Man of the Year. That said, his return to the bench has paid major dividends for the Celtics and the fantasy managers who have Pritchard on their rosters. He lit up the Lakers for 30 points on Sunday and has scored at least 24 points in six of the seven games he’s played since the lineup change. Since Boston’s February 3 win over the Mavericks, Pritchard has been a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

Brown and Payton Pritchard put on a show for the Celtics, combining to score 62 of the team’s 111 points. While JB didn’t have the most efficient night shooting the basketball, the overall production made up for the poor field-goal percentage.

Horford moved into the starting lineup with Draymond Green being a late scratch due to a back injury. It’s a shame that news wasn’t available earlier because Horford had a monster game in Green’s absence. The 39-year-old power forward made six three-pointers on his way to 22 points. He also had seven assists and three steals and two blocks on the defensive end. Horford could be worth streaming if Green is unable to make it back for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

While Moody had a great game on Sunday, it’s difficult to expect him to sustain this level of production. The 23-year-old point guard has more scoring opportunities with Stephen Curry sidelined, which led to 23 points and four three-pointers against the Nuggets. His seven rebounds and five assists seem like they could be outliers as he’s struggled to produce in both categories so far this season. He’s provided just 10th-round value this season. The Warriors have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Podziemski was just one assist shy of a triple-double. The 22-year-old shooting guard was clutch with 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in the fourth quarter alone.

He hasn’t shown that he can sustain this level play yet in his career, though it’d be a welcome sight for the Warriors if he can over the rest of this season.

Porziņǵis made his Warriors’ debut in Thursday’s loss to the Celtics, playing 17 minutes off the bench.

Not only was Thursday’s game the first for Porziņǵis in a Warriors’ uniform, but it was his first since January 7. The forward/center came off the bench against the Celtics, shooting the ball well in his 17 minutes of play. While fantasy managers will have hoped for more rebounding and shot blocking from Porziņǵis, his being on the court should be good enough for now. With Al Horford (5/8/4 with one block and one three-pointer) playing 27 minutes off the bench, there was no room in the rotation for Quinten Post, who picked up a DNP-CD.

While Gui Santos has been the best fantasy option for the Warriors since a case of runner’s knee sidelined Stephen Curry, Melton also has some upside as a starter. His stat line in Thursday’s defeat only lacked a blocked shot, a reminder of what Melton is capable of when he’s on. Unfortunately for those who have rostered the guard, his fantasy value has actually decreased since Curry’s injury, with Melton sitting outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats since February 1.

On a night when fellow Warriors forward Draymond Green (0/2/3 in 19 minutes) missed all five of his three-point attempts, Santos had no such issues.

Since February 1, Santos has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least another 10 days, there’s no reason why fantasy managers in deep leagues should overlook Santos. He’s currently rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

White’s ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him so valuable to the Celtics and fantasy managers.

Pritchard is already rostered in 95 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there’s no need to scour the waiver wire in most leagues. Those who have him should keep the guard, as he has the potential to be a difference-maker in the fantasy playoffs.

Fantasy managers look to Hauser for three-point production, and he answered the call on Thursday. He’s now made four three-pointers in consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since January 26-28. The bonus for fantasy managers was the five assists, the most in a game for Hauser this season and one shy of his career-high.

After scoring 26 points in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks, Brown put up 24 more on Wednesday. It’s been over a month since he last failed to score at least 20, which happened in a January 5 win over Chicago. The Celtics’ star has played at an MVP level throughout this season, more than holding down the fort while Jayson Tatum recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon. And the door hasn’t been closed on Tatum returning this season, which would raise the Celtics’ championship ceiling.
