Nemsith, who has played well since returning from a sprained knee, rejoins the starters for Friday’s game, with Johnny Furphy heading to the bench. The other change is Potter, who steps in for Jay Huff. While Nesmith should be rostered, fantasy managers can afford to leave Potter alone.

Less than one week removed from seven made threes against the Pacers, Hauser popped off for five triples against the Kings. The veteran sharpshooter also made contributions on the glass during his 29 minutes of game action. Hauser won’t provide much fantasy value aside from three-point shooting, but he’s a fine streaming option for those managers in category leagues who could use a boost to their three-point production.

On the heels of a seven-block performance against the Jazz, White was much quieter as a shot blocker on Thursday. Still, he accumulated four stocks on the defensive end to go along with his team-high in assists and his second consecutive game with at least 15 points. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, prevented him from having a great final line. Still, he was solid and continues to put up good fantasy production.

Despite not shooting well from beyond the arc, Brown nearly found his way to the 30-point mark. He flourished inside the arc and additionally hit the glass hard to tally a double-double. The former Finals MVP did commit five turnovers, however, signaling that it wasn’t easy for him against this Sacramento defense. Still, he finished with another strong line in what’s been a successful season for him as the clear No. 1 option in Boston.

Siakam’s 26 points came as the Pacers lost their 10th consecutive game. The 31-year-old power forward is making the most of what’s already a lost season for the 6-27 Pacers. Siakam scored at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 games. The beat goes on for the Pacers as they take on the Spurs Friday.

This was the third time Mathurin has attempted at least 13 free throws in a game this season. On October 23 against the Thunder, he made 15-of-17 free throws and on November 17 against the Pistons, he made 8-of-14 free throws. The 23-year-old small forward had 36 and 25 points in those games, respectively. We’ve seen these blips with Mathurin before and the scoring tends to be unsustainable. He’s averaging 18.3 points per game this year and 16.1 for his career. Mathurin remains more of a good scorer than an elite one.

This was just Simons’ fifth 20-point game of the season, which comes one year after he averaged nearly 20 points per game. Simons has been disappointing this year after Boston acquired him in the offseason. He hasn’t been as effective as a scorer as he had been in Portland. This was a fun performance for him, but he hasn’t been worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues this season.

Not only did White lead Boston in scoring in the win, but he made a tremendous impact on the defensive end. One of the best shot-blocking guards in recent history set a new career high for blocked shots in the win. Despite still shooting just below 40 percent over the course of the season, White now ranks inside the top-25 in nine-category leagues this year. He has been even better as of late and has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks.

Unfortunately, Brown’s 30-point game streak came to an end. He would’ve broken Larry Bird’s franchise record for most consecutive 30-point games, but instead he reached double-digit assists for the second time this season and helped the Celtics to a win. Brown is still having an incredible season even if the historic streak is no longer active. He’ll look to stay hot in Sacramento on Thursday.

Brown matched Larry Bird’s franchise record with his ninth consecutive 30-point performance dating back to December 2. Boston had a chance to steal the game late, but Brown was involved in a couple turnovers in the closing moments that snuffed out the comeback bid. Even so, the 29-year-old ranks sixth in the league in scoring and has continued to thrive in Jayson Tatum’s absence, delivering fourth-round fantasy value while averaging 29.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks through 29 games. The Celtics continue their West Coast swing this week with matchups against the Jazz, Kings and Clippers.

It’s been fascinating to track González’s growth over the course of his rookie season as his role continues to expand with the upstart Celtics. The 19-year-old came within one point of his season high in this one while adding six rebounds and two steals, continuing to flash his defensive upside as a disruptive on-ball presence. The offense is still catching up, but the minutes are trending in the right direction — he’s logged at least 27 minutes in four of Boston’s last five games since December 19. He remains a work in progress offensively, but the pathway to sustained relevance is becoming clearer by the night.

McConnell tweaked his right hamstring during Friday’s loss to the Celtics and did not play the following night against the Heat.

Siakam was a one-man wrecking crew in the first half, pouring in 24 points on 10-of-13 shooting, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. It didn’t end up making a difference as the Pacers surrendered a whopping 142 points to drop to a league-worst 6-26 overall this season. The Pacers have lost eight straight games since December 12. They’ll open a four-game week on Monday with a road tilt against the Rockets.

Mathurin put together a monster second half, scoring 23 points on 8-of-11 from the floor, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. The 23-year-old impending free agent is still capable of heating up with the best scorers in the league, averaging 18.5 points over 21 games this season.

Nesmith has been out for six weeks with a sprained left knee, so fantasy managers should not expect too much from him in his first game back.

Brown spent most of the night carving Indiana’s defense apart from the mid-range before finally stepping out late, drilling a pair of threes in the final six minutes to extend his 30-point streak to eight consecutive games since December 2. The 29-year-old offensive catalyst did a little bit of everything in a stat sheet-stuffing performance, chipping in three rebounds, four assists and four thefts as the Celtics defeated the Pacers for the second time in the past week. He’s delivered top-40 overall value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks through 28 games. The Celtics have won nine of their last 11 games. They’ll face the Trail Blazers on Sunday before continuing a West Coast road trip next week with showdowns against the Jazz, Kings and Clippers.

The worst three-point shooting team in the league this season, Indiana came out of the gate scorching-hot from distance, knocking down 7-of-12 from downtown as part of a 39-point opening quarter. Nembhard went 3-of-4 from beyond the arc during that span and chipped in five assists. They came crashing back to earth by the second quarter, ended up trailing 75-61 at the break, and never managed to mount a serious comeback down the home stretch. The Pacers have lost six consecutive games and are winless since December 8. They’ll wrap up a back-to-back on Saturday evening against the Heat before a busy four-game week that includes a pair of matchups against the Magic in addition to the Rockets and Spurs.

Pritchard poured in 14 points in the second quarter, fueling a 45-point outburst that sent Boston into halftime with a comfortable 75–61 advantage. The 27-year-old’s offensive game continues to evolve as he’s continued to perfect his combination of step back three-pointers in addition to his ability to create space for easy shots in the paint on drives to the basket. He’s produced third-round fantasy value over the past week, averaging a robust 25.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists and one steal over his last three games.

McConnell did his best to inject some life after the Pacers fell behind big in the second half, mixing it up with Celtics defensive specialist Jordan Walsh before attacking the rim on multiple occasions to close out the third quarter.

Hauser provided a much-needed spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 7-of-8 from three-point range to help the Celtics go from down double-digits in the second quarter to running the Pacers out of the building by halftime.

Queta put together an impressive stretch in the opening stanza that featured a pair of blocks with a monster slam dunk sandwiched in the middle before adding in an off-balance finish on an alley-oop a couple minutes later.

González remains a work in progress on the offensive end of the floor, but he’s showed that he can defend at a near-elite level in spurts off the bench as a 19-year-old rookie. He got hot in this one, pulling down a season-high 10 rebounds to notch his first career double-double. He’s experienced a significant uptick in minutes recently, playing at least 15 minutes in six of Boston’s last eight contests since December 2. He doesn’t offer enough scoring potential to merit consideration outside of extremely deep leagues but he’s certainly a player on the rise to monitor over the next few months.
