Jarreau made good use of his 15 minutes of action on Wednesday. Despite inefficient shooting, he converted enough field goals and free throws to set a new career-high in points. The former Houston Cougar was also active on the defensive end, leading to a career-best in steals. Jarreau isn’t someone fantasy managers should consider streaming during the fantasy playoffs. Yet, he’s had some decent production here down the stretch of the season.

Prosper’s strength on Wednesday was his three-point shooting; he tied a team high with makes, propelling him to the second-highest scoring total on the team. He grabbed a handful of rebounds but didn’t contribute to many other areas during his 25 minutes on the floor. Still, he was one of the Grizzlies’ top performers, and has now scored in double figures 11 times in March.

Jackson, once again, was one of Memphis’ better performers on Wednesday. Despite the blowout loss, he still logged 30 minutes and took advantage of his opportunities by shooting the ball efficiently, particularly from the three-point line. His work on the glass was solid, and his three stocks were helpful from a fantasy basketball lens. The Grizzlies are now officially eliminated from playoff contention following their loss to the Spurs, but that shouldn’t have much of an impact on Jackson’s outlook the rest of the way.

The Celtics received 35 points from their bench on Wednesday, with Pritchard leading the way, to no one’s surprise. Having shot a combined 9-of-24 from the field in his prior two appearances, the Celtics’ guard was a bit more efficient on Wednesday. Pritchard shot 4-of-6 from three, with the four makes being the most for him in a game since he hit five in a March 16 win over the Suns. Baylor Scheierman also reached double figures off the bench, finishing with 11 points, five rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.

White did not have a good night shooting the basketball, as he was 1-of-4 from two and 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. Fantasy managers will have to make do with the six assists, one more than his total in Boston’s last three games. Unfortunately, White did not record any defensive stats against the Thunder, making this night a net negative for managers rostering him.

Tatum has recorded a double-double in two straight and four of his last six appearances for the Celtics. He hasn’t been the prolific scorer that he was before the Achilles tendon rupture. Still, the good news for fantasy managers is that Tatum has provided solid value in other areas. In addition to the 12 rebounds, he was responsible for season-highs in assists and steals. Tatum and the Celtics end Week 22 with games on Friday and Sunday.

Playing against the reigning league MVP, Brown put forth an excellent showing in Wednesday’s victory. He’s scored 30 points or more in four of his last five, with a 29-point effort against the Timberwolves being the exception. Brown was responsible for five turnovers, but the overall production was good enough to compensate for that in most fantasy leagues. The Celtics play two more games in Week 22, starting with the Hawks on Friday.

While Jackson and the Grizzlies lost by 39 points against the Hawks on Monday, the 21-year-old small forward still played 30 minutes. That allowed Jackson to put up 26 points, which led the Grizzlies. It’s Jackson’s third game this month with at least 20 points, though he’s averaging 11.5 points this season. Jackson isn’t a major fantasy asset, but he’s still one of the Grizzlies’ key contributors as the season winds down.

White once again provided value in categories outside of field-goal percentage, as he finished with six rebounds and three steals. His shooting has improved recently, with the Celtics guard making 43.7 percent of his field-goal attempts over the past two weeks.

The Celtics play three games in Week 22, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Like Jaylen Brown, Tatum did not have a great night shooting the basketball, finishing 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. The good news for category league managers was that he was effective as a rebounder, and the two steals will also help.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Brown put up a high point total. However, he was made to work for everything by the Timberwolves, and category league managers in tight battles may be in trouble based on the field-goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Brown has shot 44.4 percent from the field, more than three percentage points lower than his mark for the season of 47.7 percent. The Celtics play three games in Week 22, starting with the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

While Small was responsible for five of the Grizzlies’ 13 turnovers, he provided solid value in multiple categories, including points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers. While Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) being out for the season means there’s one less option to play rotation minutes, Small still being on a two-way contract means that he isn’t guaranteed to be available every night. At this point, he’s most useful on nights like Saturday when Ty Jerome (calf) is also out.

While he was not in the starting lineup for Friday’s game, that did not stop Garza from having one of his most productive nights of the season. He played 27 minutes to starting center Neemias Queta’s 18 against the Grizzlies, shooting 75 percent from the field. All that Garza’s final line lacked was a blocked shot. He still isn’t in a place where he needs to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but Garza may be worth a look on nights when the Celtics are playing lottery-bound teams.

Queta was on his way to a double-double by halftime, having recorded 10 points and seven rebounds in 11 minutes of action.

On a night when Jayson Tatum (13 points, nine rebounds and two three-pointers) shot 3-of-15 from the field, Brown picked up the slack in Memphis. The Celtics’ wing has scored at least 30 points in three straight and four of his last five games. Since the All-Star break, Brown has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats.

After ending his Week 20 with a four-point effort on 2-of-11 shooting in a March 14 win over the Wizards, Pritchard has recorded consecutive 19-point stat lines. He’s made eight of 16 three-point attempts in Boston’s first two games of Week 21 while also recording 13 assists. Had Pritchard not begun the season as a starter, he would be a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, which he won last season.

Brown and the Celtics grabbed control of Wednesday’s game early and never looked back, going on to win by a 120-99 final score. He recorded his 31st 30-point game of the season and did so while recording excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. The lone issue, at least for managers in nine-cat leagues, was the five turnovers. The Celtics play two more games in Week 21, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday.

Strong three-point shooting was the highlight of White’s productive offensive performance. He sank a handful, which accounted for all but six of his total points on a night in which he finished as one of three Celtics with at least 20 points. The versatile combo guard also contributed well as a facilitator along the way to help Boston earn a second consecutive win.

Tatum reached the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive game on Monday as he tied a season-high in minutes played. In the win, he also finished with his highest shooting percentage since making his season debut earlier in March. The subtle improvements could be seen as encouraging for those fantasy managers who have him rostered. While Tatum understandably isn’t yet performing at his former All-NBA level this early in his return from the Achilles injury, he should be a productive option in fantasy playoffs.

Brown went for more than 30 points for the second time in the past three games, using an 18-point fourth-quarter explosion to help lead Boston to victory. The one-time Finals MVP shot the ball efficiently throughout the night and got lots of scoring production from the free-throw line along the way.

He’ll look to stay hot on Wednesday against the Warriors.

While he missed all three of his two-point attempts, White was a respectable 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. The Celtics’ guard’s percentages from two and from three have taken significant dips in comparison to his 2024-25 numbers, but he remains a highly valuable option in category leagues.

Queta was on a roll during the first half of Saturday’s game, ripping off 22 points and six rebounds.
