Powell returned to action on Tuesday after missing the previous four due to illness, and now he’s dealing with a sore groin. Pelle Larsson remained in the starting lineup on Tuesday; Simone Fontecchio could see action on Thursday if Powell doesn’t play. Fontecchio was a DNP-CD the last time out.

After missing Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors, Smith has a chance to take the floor in Thursday’s rematch. The fourth-year guard has played a complementary role throughout the year, logging just one start while playing 16.3 minutes per game overall. He’s totaled only 26 minutes over his last four appearances.

Hauser is dealing with lower back spasms, and Queta has a sprained right great toe. The latter’s absence would free up rotation minutes for Luka Garza and Nikola Vučević, and Vooch could use a few more minutes as he shakes off the rust following an extended absence due to a fractured hand. Hauser sitting out opens up playing time for Ron Harper Jr.

Thursday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Celtics, who are one win away from locking up the two-seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. While White sitting would likely push Payton Pritchard into the starting lineup, Jordan Walsh and Hugo González would have more prominent roles if Brown can’t play.

Tatum has now had exactly 23 points in three consecutive games. The 28-year-old small forward took a backseat as Jaylen Brown led the way for Boston with 35 points. Tatum continues to look ready for the playoffs as he’s provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Brown led the Celtics with 35 points in the win over the Hornets on Tuesday. The 29-year-old small forward played much of the season without Jayson Tatum due to an Achilles injury, which went as expected with Brown’s volume increasing as well as his turnovers. He had another five turnovers on Tuesday. It’s the turnovers that have led to him providing sixth-round per game value this year and not paying off his ADP. Brown will be in position to bounce back next year with he and Tatum presumably healthy entering the season.

Herro shot the ball well and provided solid value in rebounds and assists, but the impact was muted in Miami’s 121-95 defeat. With Bam Adebayo (7/9/3/1 with one three-pointer) shooting 2-of-13 from the field, the Heat could have done with more Herro on the offensive end of the floor. Now trailing Toronto by three games and Philadelphia and Orlando by two in the loss column, the Heat have little margin for error if they’re to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Powell shot 2-of-7 from beyond the arc in Toronto, with the work at the foul line giving his points tally a modest boost. The veteran guard logged 24 minutes in his first game back from an upper respiratory illness that sidelined him for four games, with Pelle Larsson (7/3/1 with one three-pointer) remaining in the starting lineup. Miami plays three games over the final four days of the regular season; we’ll see how long it takes for Powell to return to the starting five.

Wiggins was one of the few Heat players able to get anything going offensively in Toronto. On a night when Miami shot 12-of-44 from beyond the arc, he made four of his seven attempts. Wiggins did not record any defensive stats, but most managers in active fantasy leagues will take the offensive production. Miami will look to redeem itself in Thursday’s rematch.

Herro was initially listed as probable with a foot injury, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 26-year-old point guard was scratched before Saturday’s game against the Wizards for personal reasons, which led to Simone Fontecchio getting a start. Fontecchio will return to the bench with Herro back in the starting lineup on Tuesday.

Available for the first time since March 6, Vučević appeared a bit rusty on Sunday. Obviously, plus/minus does not tell the complete story for any player, but the veteran center was a minus-14 in 13 minutes of play. Luka Garza, who filled in admirably as the backup center in Vučević’s absence, was a DNP-CD on Sunday. Boston has four games remaining in the regular season, so Vučević will have time to get into a groove before the playoffs.

Brown has scored at least 26 points in each of his last nine games. And the production has remained excellent since Jayson Tatum’s return. Over the last month, Brown has averaged 28.3 points per game on 45.5 percent shooting from the field. While the Pistons will go into the playoffs as the top seed in the East, there won’t be a shortage of pundits who label the Celtics the favorites to win the conference. Brown, who has played at an elite level all season, is one of the reasons why.

Queta came through with another quality effort on Sunday, shooting 90 percent from the field. The four assists were the most in a game for him since March 27, when the Celtics center recorded five in a win over the Hawks. Add in the rebounds and blocks, and this was a good finish to Week 23 for Queta and those rostering the 7-footer. For those whose leagues will be active in Week 24, the Celtics play four games.

Tatum continues to round into form as the playoffs approach. Having scored 23 points or more in five consecutive games, the Celtics’ forward has recorded two double-doubles and a triple-double in his last three outings. Sunday’s stat line included three steals, and Tatum totaled eight over his final three games of Week 23. Boston is closing in on securing the two-seed in the East; as a result, he may not be guaranteed to play in all four games in Week 24.

Jović was injured when his left leg got caught underneath his body after being fouled by Washington’s Jamir Watkins on an attempt to convert an alley-oop. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Jović did so slowly. He finished with five points (2-of-6 FGs), two assists and one three-pointer. Saturday’s game was the first for Jović since March 21, with injuries knocking down the pecking order within the Heat rotation.

Jaquez had an excellent Saturday afternoon, as his 32 points were a season-high. And he was highly efficient, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers. Add in the assists, and Jaquez enjoyed one of his best all-around performances of the season.

Ware put on a show on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s 152-136 victory. The second-year center’s 17 rebounds were the most in a game for him since December 21, when he grabbed 19 in a loss to the Knicks. Also, Ware’s eight blocks are a new career-high. Add in the excellent field-goal percentage and the three-point production, and fantasy managers rostering Ware had to be thrilled with the value received.

One would not blame the Wizards if they wondered where this version of Adebayo was when he torched them for 83 points on March 10. He attempted just six shots, as the Heat combined to finish one point shy of the franchise record for points in a game (153). The good news for fantasy managers was that Bam provided good value in rebounds and assists, even though his double-double streak ended at five games.

Unlike the last time Miami hosted the Wizards, no single player was responsible for most of the offensive damage. Wiggins was one of seven double-digit scorers, with three putting up at least 21 points. The veteran wing, who shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, recorded a complete stat line in 26 minutes of play. Not a bad finish to the week for Wiggins, whose Heat don’t play again until Tuesday.

With Vučević’s status change for Sunday’s game, there is a real chance he gets in a few games before the playoffs. That would help remove some of the rust that the veteran center may be dealing with. Luka Garza has served as the backup center, but that will clearly change once Vooch is healthy enough to play.

While he did make 75 percent of his shot attempts in Wednesday’s win over the Heat, White attempted just four shots. Friday’s performance does a lot more in terms of boosting the confidence of those rostering the Celtics guard, who shot 37.1 percent from the field in his previous nine appearances going into Milwaukee. White shot over 50 percent from the field, and even though the final stat line did not have any defensive stats, the assists and three-pointers were good.

After totaling two double-doubles in his first four NBA seasons, Queta recorded his 16th of the 2025-26 campaign on Friday. While there are more prolific options for Most Improved Player honors, the strides that the Celtics’ center has made should not be overlooked. In addition to 19 points and 10 rebounds, Queta recorded four blocks in Friday’s rout of the Bucks. He’ll look to end Week 23 on a high note when the Celtics host the Raptors on Sunday.

Brown put up 26 points on Friday, and the Celtics may be enthused by the fact that they were able to lessen his workload. The 30 minutes he played were the fewest in a game for the MVP candidate since March 10, when an ejection limited him to 14 minutes in a loss to the Spurs. Brown still provided solid value against the Bucks, and he’ll have another game to play in Week 23 on Sunday against the Raptors.

Jaquez’s double-double was his sixth of the season and first in just over two months. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Heat wing is ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks.

One game removed from putting up 30 in a win over the 76ers, Herro struggled with his shot on Wednesday. He made just one of his five two-point attempts, which did a number on the overall field-goal percentage.

After struggling with his perimeter shot in his first two-plus NBA seasons, Mitchell has made significant strides since joining the Heat last season.

Adebayo extended his double-double streak to five games on Wednesday, with the 29 points being the most in a game for him since March 21. Shooting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc, all that Bam’s line lacked was a blocked shot. While the Heat aren’t locked into the Play-In tournament yet, they risk being seeded ninth or tenth, which would require two wins to reach the playoffs as the 8-seed.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Hawks, Queta finished Wednesday’s victory with his 15th double-double of the season. Add in the assists and blocks, and this was a good night for those rostering the Celtics’ starting center. Luka Garza, who started on Monday, played 15 minutes in Miami, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one block and two three-pointers. Boston does not have another back-to-back in Week 23, so the roles of Queta and Garza should remain the same.

Tatum recorded his first triple-double since returning from his ruptured Achilles tendon, and he made some history on Wednesday. He is the third player in Celtics history to finish a game with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, joining Larry Bird (eight times) and Dave Cowens (two). For Tatum to play at the level that he has, less than a year after such a significant injury, is highly impressive. For fantasy managers who stashed him in an IL spot, their patience has been rewarded.
