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.

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.

Leonard, who has been playing through a lingering ankle issue, was the primary reason the Clippers were able to erase a near 20-point deficit after stumbling out of the gate on the second night of a back-to-back. Los Angeles got off to a sluggish start, scoring just 14 points in the opening quarter, but it was Leonard who led the way in the second half, scoring 14 of his 26 points in the final two quarters. The 34-year-old superstar has provided first-round value on a per-game basis this season, averaging 27.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.7 blocks through 28 games. The Clippers have three games on tap next week including matchups against the Hornets, Wizards and Raptors.

It’s taken longer than originally anticipated but the Clippers have finally started to figure out how to incorporate Collins into their offense as he’s scored 18 points or more in four of his last six games since January 1. The 28-year-old big man delivered an impressive all-around stat sheet stuffing performance in this one with eight stocks — five steals and three blocks — to help fuel Los Angeles’ second-half comeback. He’s supplied first-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging 17.6 points, 6.1 boards, 0.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocks over his last seven games.

Harden did most of his damage in the second half, scoring 14 of his 19 points in the final two quarters, after Los Angeles got off to an agonizingly slow start in this road matchup. The managed to salvage an abysmal shooting performance on the second night of a back-to-back by getting to the line a whopping 11 times. It’s been another vintage Harden season so far as he’s averaging 25.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks through 35 games.

Leonard played through a sprained ankle and had 26 points and four threes in the win over the Nets on Friday. The season is slipping away for the Clippers at 14-23, 11th in the Western Conference. Leonard’s availability for Saturday’s game against the Pistons could be in question as he’s dealing with the ankle injury and it’s the second night of a back-to-back.

Harden put the Clippers on his back Friday, leading the team with 31 points. The 36-year-old point guard impressively and effortlessly carved up the Nets defense, shooting 10-of-13 from the field. That will help make up for his 6-of-17 game against the Knicks earlier this week. Harden is 18th-overall in per game value this year. The Clippers will be in Detroit Saturday as they take on the Pistons on the second night of a back-to-back.

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.

Leonard is dealing with a sprained right ankle, but it was the left foot and ankle that kept him out of the lineup for ten games in November. He hasn’t missed a game since, but Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Clippers, who visit the Pistons on Saturday. If Leonard sits out the matchup with Brooklyn, Kobe Sanders could be called on to make his second spot start of the week. He scored a career-high 20 in Monday’s win over the Warriors, filling in for James Harden.

While he was not on track to duplicate his 55-point effort against the Pistons on December 28, Leonard started very well on Wednesday. He scored 21 first-half points, likely causing many fantasy managers to envision another big night for the Clippers forward. Leonard would only score four points after halftime, shooting 2-of-7 from the field. While some of his teammates knocked down shots in the third quarter, Leonard’s failure to score in the fourth quarter helped the Clippers fall off the pace. Friday’s matchup with the Nets looks like a good one for Leonard to bounce back from a disappointing second half at MSG.

After attempting three shots from the field in his return to the starting lineup on Monday, Zubac was far more involved on Wednesday. The 14 attempts were the most he’s had in a game since December 11 (six games played), and Zubac finished with his first double-double with at least 20 points since November 23. With Zubac playing starters’ minutes, now is the time for the few who still have Brook Lopez rostered to move on. He played 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, finishing with six points (2-of-8 FGs), one block and two three-pointers.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Warriors, Harden got back on track with his three-point shot in New York. After shooting 1-of-6 from three in each of his previous three games, The Beard made four of his seven attempts against the Knicks. Unfortunately for Harden and those who have him rostered, he was 2-of-10 from two. While the overall stat line was solid, the field-goal percentage took a hit in Harden’s first game of Week 12.

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.

Zubac came off the bench in his first game back following a five-game absence, but he was back in the starting lineup for this one. He did most of his scoring at the free throw line, but he was immediately able to record a double-double in his first game back with a normal workload. Zubac will get back to being a strong fantasy option now that he is healthy and available. He’ll look to have another strong performance against the Knicks on Wednesday.

With James Harden (shoulder) sidelined, Sanders got the starting nod for the fourth time during his rookie season. He was solid as a starter previously, but this was his best performance of the year. Sanders may have earned extra minutes with this performance, but he won’t be worth rostering unless he gets the opportunity to start in the future. If Harden remains out against the Knicks on Wednesday, Sanders will have intriguing upside as a streamer.

Leonard missed all eight of his three-point attempts, and the turnovers weren’t pretty, but this was an otherwise strong performance from Kawhi.

Brown’s magnum opus featured an extremely efficient shooting performance as he knocked down 18-of-26 attempts, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc, finishing at nearly 70 percent from the floor. It was his second 50-point effort, matching his previous career-high mark set back on January 2, 2022. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone combined with teammate Derrick White for 24 first-quarter points as Boston erupted for a season-high 42 points in the opening stanza and simply never looked back. It was a sublime all-around performance as Brown also locked up Clippers star Kawhi Leonard on the defensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 29 points in 11 of his last 12 games since December 2. Unreal.
