Nembhard returned to action on Saturday after a one-game absence, tallying 29 points and nine assists in a win over the Heat. If he’s unable to play on Monday, Quenton Jackson would likely shift back into the starting point guard role, with T.J. McConnell’s playing time increasing off the bench.

Absent from the first injury report released by the Celtics, Brown is now doubtful due to lower back spasms. His absence would result in more prominent roles for Anfernee Simons and Baylor Scheierman, not to mention starters Derrick White and Payton Pritchard.

Hauser was a late scratch for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, resulting in Hugo González starting and Jordan Walsh’s minutes matching those of Victor Wembanyama. If Hauser can’t play on Monday, the Celtics will stick with a rotation of González and Walsh.

Minott’s continued absence, with Monday’s game being the fourth that he’s missed, does not affect fantasy basketball. With Sam Hauser also out for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, Hugo González and Jordan Walsh made up the rotation at the power forward position.

White brought a little extra against his former organization, finishing just shy of his fourth 30-point performance of the season. The 31-year-old guard provided his usual blend of scoring and defensive impact in this one, notching four stocks, while coming up just short of reaching double-digit rebounds for the first time this year. He’s been one of the hottest all-around players in the fantasy landscape of late, averaging an absurd 19.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.5 blocks in eight games over the past two weeks. The Celtics are in line for a three-game week that includes road showdowns against the Pacers, Heat and Hawks.

Brown flirted with a triple-double on the second night of a back-to-back after dropping 25 points in a win over the Raptors on Friday evening. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone has gone up a level this season as Boston’s primary scoring option, averaging 29.5 points through 36 games.

Siakam had a rough night shooting the basketball, but he still managed to avoid missing double figures for the first time this season. While category league managers took a beating in the field-goal percentage category, Siakam did offer value in the rebound and assist categories. The Pacers open a four-game Week 13 on Monday against the Celtics.

Walker finished one rebound shy of his first double-double of the season, matching his previous high with the nine rebounds. While his playing time was pumped up somewhat due to Saturday’s game being a blowout, Walker has logged at least 15 minutes in 14 of his last 16 appearances. Don’t be surprised if he emerges as a silly-season standout, as the Pacers will want to see more of their 2023 lottery pick between now and the end of the season.

Outside of Andrew Nembhard, the Pacers did not have any standout scorers on Saturday. However, seven players finished in double figures, including Nesmith. He was just 1-of-5 from beyond the arc, but the Pacers’ wing was responsible for a team-high nine rebounds. Over the past two weeks, Nesmith has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. As long as he’s available, Aaron can offer late-round value the rest of the season.

Nembhard wasn’t available for Thursday’s win over the Hornets, and he was initially questionable for Saturday’s game with a sore lower back. He made up for lost time with an excellent showing against the Heat, leading seven Pacers in double figures while also dishing out nine assists without a turnover. Nembhard’s return did not push Quenton Jackson (six points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) to the bench, but it did lower the two-way contract guard’s streaming ceiling. The Pacers play four games in Week 13, starting with the Celtics on Monday.

Nembhard is back after a one-game absence, but his return does not push Jackson to the bench. Instead, Jay Huff heads to the bench, with Siakam serving as a small-ball center. Huff will remain in the rotation, but his value takes a hit with the move to the bench.

Saturday’s game will be the tenth that Jackson has missed since suffering a head injury, but the good news is that he is no longer in the league’s concussion protocol. According to Carlisle, the former first-round pick is now working on improving his conditioning and will miss at least one more week. Until Jackson can play, the Pacers will continue to rely on Jay Huff, Micah Potter and Tony Bradley at the center position.

It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that Brown has morphed into a legitimate MVP candidate this season as he’s topped 25 points in 13 of 15 games since the start of December while propelling the Celtics towards the apex of the Eastern Conference without Jayson Tatum. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone contributed 13 early points as the Celtics shot 61 percent from the floor in the opening half and wound up pulling away in the late stages. He got to the charity stripe a whopping 13 times and knocked down his final 12 attempts from the line. The Celtics have been one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference, winning 13 of their last 17 game. They’ll close out a back-to-back on Saturday evening when they host the Spurs at TG Garden.

Pritchard showcases his signature skillset in this one, consistently driving to the basket and creating shot opportunities beyond the arc, parachuting in whenever the Celtics needed to create something out of nothing on a possession. The 27-year-old sharp-shooting facilitator dished out eight assists while scoring 16 of his 27 points in the second half to help Boston pull away for a relatively easy win. He’s been a phenomenal fantasy contributor over the past two weeks, averaging 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks across seven games during that span.

Hauser was feeling it in the early stages of the contest, hitting four three-pointers in the opening stanza as the Celtics built an early advantage. The 28-year-old sharpshooter doesn’t offer a ton of fantasy value as he’s prone to the typical ebbs and flows that a hot-and-cold three-point specialist typically deals with on a night-to-night basis. This was just his ninth double-digit scoring performance of the season.

White has been one of the most impactful fantasy contributors over the past two weeks, delivering first-round value during that seven-game span, averaging 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.6 steals and a staggering 2.6 blocks. The 31-year-old defensive wizard became just the fourth player 6-foot-4 or under to record 500 career blocks earlier this week and has notched at least two blocks in five of his last six games.

Jackson has not appeared in a game since December 22, as he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. The Pacers have stuck with a rotation of Jay Huff and Micah Potter recently, but Tony Bradley played 15 minutes on Thursday due to the latter’s early exit with an injury. Potter is available for Saturday’s game.

Nembhard was a late scratch for Thursday’s win over the Hornets, with Quenton Jackson replacing him in the starting lineup. However, T.J. McConnell benefited the most from Nembhard’s absence and should be the preferred streamer if the Pacers play another game without their starting point guard.

For the first time since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for over a month, Nesmith has reached double figures in three consecutive games. And despite shooting 40.5 percent from the field, the Pacers’ wing has offered top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Nesmith is rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and he has the potential to be a “silly season” standout if he’s able to play starters’ minutes for the rest of the season.

While Andrew Nembhard being a late scratch did not change McConnell’s place within the Pacers’ rotation, it did free up more minutes for the veteran point guard. McConnell logged a season-high 28 minutes and finished with his best stat line of the season. He also finished with a season-high point total and matched his previous high in assists. Quenton Jackson was the starter, but he only played 18 minutes, finishing with four points, five assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

At long last, the Pacers’ 13-game losing streak is over, and Rick Carlisle has his 1,000th career win as an NBA head coach. Siakam made the game’s biggest shot, as his layup with 11.5 seconds remaining gave Indiana the lead for good. He finished with his fourth 30-point double-double of the season. As the Pacers continue to navigate this season without Tyrese Haliburton, Siakam has shouldered an extremely heavy workload as the lone player providing reliable fantasy value.

The Pacers won’t have Andrew Nembhard for Thursday’s game, as he has been sidelined with lower back tightness. Jackson will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup, raising his ceiling. However, with T.J. McConnell off the bench, fantasy managers can leave Jackson on the waiver wire.

Nembhard was added to the injury report this morning, which is usually not a great sign. The guard has only missed one game so far this season, but his minutes have fluctuated as he’s battled some minor injuries. If Nembhard did miss, that would likely mean extra minutes for T.J. McConnell.

Simons continues to get more comfortable with his role in Boston, having scored in double figures in six straight and nine of his last ten games. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who have him rostered, this has not resulted in increased fantasy value. Over the past three weeks, Simons is still ranked outside the top-150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given how competitive the Celtics have been, it would be surprising to see them make any drastic changes to the roster before the trade deadline, which would not be a good thing for Simons’ fantasy value.

Being the best shot-blocking guard in the NBA gives White’s fantasy value a welcome boost, especially in category leagues. He recorded three more rejections on Wednesday, extending his streak with at least one to 11 consecutive games. Due partly to that production, White has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. The Celtics return to action on Friday against the Raptors.

Queta’s overall stat line was lean, except in one category: rebounds. Two days removed from grabbing 13 boards in a win over the Bulls, he tallied a career-high 20 against the Nuggets. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queta has offered top-100 per-game value over the past two weeks. Given his productivity throughout the season, the former second-round pick is worth a look in some 12-team formats, especially where there’s a need for rebounds.

After a rough night in Monday’s win over the Bulls, Brown got back on track Wednesday night in terms of scoring. Since December 2, he’s tallied at least 30 points in 11 of the 14 games that he’s played. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and the overall stat line recorded on Wednesday was excellent. However, Brown was responsible for seven turnovers, the most he’s had in a game since November 18 (eight vs. Brooklyn). Due to that category, there has been a three-round gap in Brown’s eight- and nine-cat values over the past month.

Jackson will miss a ninth consecutive game as he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. The Pacers have relied on a rotation of Jay Huff and Micah Potter at the center position, with whichever player has the “hot hand” getting more minutes. Neither has been the most reliable fantasy option, and the rotation may have something to do with that.

Huff, who leads the NBA in blocks this season, knocked down 4-of-7 from three-point range and matched his previous season-high mark that he set back on November 19 in a win over the Hornets. Unfortunately, his offensive outburst wasn’t enough as Indiana dropped their 13th straight game and remain winless since December 8. The 27-year-old shot blocker is averaging 2.2 per-game, which gives him some relevance in deeper fantasy leagues.

Siakam did his best to spark a late rally for the Pacers as he scored 13 of his 22 points in the second half, including a three-point play in the final minute to slash the deficit to a single point. It still wasn’t enough to help Indiana avoid their 13th consecutive loss. The 31-year-old scoring machine has been on fire of late, averaging a robust 26.3 points over his last four games, providing fifth-round fantasy value during that span.

After coming off the bench for Indiana’s last two games, Huff is back in the starting lineup. He brings little more height to the table in Tuesday’s matchup, with Cleveland starting Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Micah Potter heads to the bench but should remain in the rotation.

The Celtics had a 21-point lead at halftime after Pritchard hit one of his classic buzzer-beating three-pointers at the end of the second quarter. Most of the rest of his points came on pull-up shots in the lane. Pritchard has provided sixth-round per game value this season. The Celtics will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Nuggets.

It was a tale of two halves for Simons on Monday. He had no points in the first half, but dropped 27 points with eight three-pointers in the second half of the win over the Bulls. The 26-year-old shooting guard is averaging 13.1 points per game this year, but he’s scored at least 20 points in two of his last four games. Still, his scoring has fallen off since averaging 19.3 points per game last year. Simons isn’t going to be fantasy relevant without more consistent scoring.
