Pritchard has landed on the Celtics’ injury report due to neck spasms. If he’s unable to play on Tuesday, there may be room on the back end of the rotation for Ron Harper Jr. or Jordan Walsh. Neither would be worth streaming in that role.

Prince, who underwent surgery to address a herniated disk in his neck back in November, could make his first appearance since early November on Tuesday. However, while he can provide three-pointers and steals when given rotation minutes, fantasy managers don’t need to add Prince ahead of Tuesday’s game.

Thomas had a nice game with 17 points and six assists in 20 minutes off the bench against the Magic on Sunday. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard’s scoring has been sporadic since he was acquired by the Bucks. Thomas has scored at least 10 points in just three of his last eight games after a hot start with his new team. More consistent minutes would go a long way towards helping him regain value.

Portis played 28 minutes with the Bucks losing by 39. The 31-year-old power forward had a nice game with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bucks within striking distance of the Magic. Portis was on fire from behind the three-point line making 4-of-5 attempts. He remains one of the most important bench players in the league. The Bucks have four games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Suns on Tuesday.

The Bucks won’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kyle Kuzma for Sunday’s game, which opens up two spots in the starting lineup. Green, who Kuzma replaced in the lineup for Saturday’s win over the Jazz, and Sims have been tabbed to start.

Pritchard was at his best when the Celtics needed him most, shooting 3-of-3 from the field and scoring nine points in the fourth quarter to help hold off the Cavaliers. The final line featured quality production in points, asssits and percentages, an unsurprising development for the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Tatum got off to an excellent start on Sunday, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and scoring 12 points in the first quarter. He cooled off considerably, shooting 2-of-10 from the field the rest of the way, but the Celtics’ star recorded 20 points in 27 minutes. Boston plays three games in Week 20 without a back-to-back; hopefully, this guarantees Tatum managers that he’ll be available for each.

After totaling 14 points and six rebounds in his last two appearances, Scheierman had one of his best performances of the season on Sunday. The second-year wing recorded his fourth double-double, with the 16 points being the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a January 30 win over the Kings. With Jayson Tatum back in the fold, Scheierman won’t be as valuable to fantasy managers. But he’ll remain a key option within the Celtics’ rotation, providing depth on the perimeter.

Hauser is relied on for points and three-pointers, and he was productive in those areas on Sunday. After making two of his eight three-point attempts in Friday’s win over the Mavericks, he shot 5-of-10 from deep against the Cavaliers. Add in the four rebounds, and Hauser’s performance was a good one for those rostering him in deep leagues.

Brown produced another excellent effort on Sunday, finishing one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. The Celtics’ wing has seemingly taken a more measured approach in the team’s last two games as Jayson Tatum gets acclimated after missing ten months with a ruptured Achilles tendon. However, that approach has not negatively affected Brown’s output, which has been a positive development for fantasy managers. The Celtics play three games in Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Kuzma, who returned to the starting lineup for Saturday’s win over the Jazz, played 29 minutes. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) already out, the Bucks could look to Jericho Sims to fill the void if Kuzma can’t play. While offensive production is limited, Sims’ rebounding is even more important given Myles Turner’s struggles in that area.

Sunday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Bucks, who beat the Jazz on Saturday. Giannis’ absence opens a massive hole in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis and AJ Green being potential replacements. With head coach Doc Rivers declaring that he wanted to go with a bigger lineup, which led to Green coming off the bench on Saturday, Portis may be the choice.

While he did not record any defensive stats, Dieng provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories. The nine helpers matched his career-high, and the eight rebounds were one less than his total over the previous five games. The rebounding may be what keeps Dieng in the starting lineup, as that area has been a weak spot for the Bucks. If so, he’s a player whose value would increase in deeper leagues as the season winds down.

While Rollins didn’t shoot the ball well on Saturday, making only two of his six attempts from inside the arc and 3 of 9 from outside of it, his rebounding was essential. The Bucks guard led the team in rebounds while also dishing out seven assists and blocking two shots, compensating for the poor shooting. Rollins will look to offer a bit more scoring-wise on Sunday when the Bucks host the Magic.

Kuzma was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday, a few days after head coach Doc Rivers made it clear that he believed the unit needed more size. While Kuzma shot the ball relatively well against the Jazz, he did not offer much as a rebounder. Neither did Myles Turner (eight points, three rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer), whose struggles on the glass factored into his playing 18 minutes. AJ Green, who Kuzma replaced in the starting lineup, finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and two three-pointers in 21 minutes.

After playing 25 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, Antetokounmpo logged 27 on Saturday. The Bucks are taking a measured approach to his workload and have not wavered, even in moments when the team’s lead may be slipping away. That was the case on Saturday, but Milwaukee’s “others” were able to do enough to avoid losing the lead completely before Giannis returned for crunch time. Milwaukee has one more game in Week 19, as it hosts Orlando on Sunday.

After getting off to a hot start in his first two games out of the All-Star break, totaling 56 points, inconsistent production has been an issue for Pritchard. In the six games before Friday, he averaged 9.7 points on 34.4 percent shooting. Pritchard was considerably better against the Mavericks, shooting a shade under 50 percent from the field while providing solid value in multiple categories. He’s another player who should have more room to operate with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returning to action.

With Jayston Tatum making his season debut on Friday, the entire Celtics rotation had to work through some things early on. Brown and the other starters may have been a bit too deferential early on, but everyone got more comfortable as the game progressed. Brown finished with a team-high 24 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording an excellent all-around stat line. While he played at an MVP level while Tatum was out, getting his partner in crime back could give Brown’s efficiency a boost.

White has scored 20 points or more in five of the eight games he’s played since the All-Star break, averaging 18.2 points per game. While he’s only made 42.1 percent of his attempts from the field since the break, that’s two percentage points higher than his number for the season. And with everything that White brings to the table, the field-goal percentage has not done much harm to his category league value.

After 298 days of rehabbing from a ruptured Achilles tendon, Tatum returned to action on Friday. Unsurprisingly, there was a combination of rust and nerves for the four-time All-NBA forward to work through, and he missed his first six shot attempts. Tatum’s first basket was on a tip dunk with just over one minute remaining in the second quarter, and he would go on to make five straight shots. Tatum was not under any restrictions, playing 27 minutes and checking out for good with 5:01 remaining, the Celtics leading by 25. Boston ends its Week 19 with a game in Cleveland on Sunday.

Vučević fractured his right ring finger during the first quarter of Friday’s game against the Mavericks and exited moments later. The reported four-week absence means that he won’t be a factor in fantasy basketball outside of leagues that run through the final week of the NBA’s regular season. Luka Garza has moved into the backup center role, but he should only be considered in extremely deep fantasy leagues.

Tatum is back much quicker than expected after undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon on May 13, 2025. Boston is the No. 2 seed in the East, and the team has the luxury of bringing its superstar forward along slowly as he ramps up for a playoff run. Tatum’s minutes will be managed at least in the short term, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on his minutes and Boston’s rotations.

Tatum is definitely coming back this season, and it seems like Friday is the likely date. It makes sense as a bit of a soft landing spot against a Mavericks team that is already looking towards next season. This return date will be less than 10 months after Tatum had surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon. Payton Pritchard is already coming off the bench, but the big question will be how much usage Tatum takes away from Jaylen Brown, who is having a tremendous season.

Rollins didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he did provide solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Starting for the injured Kevin Porter Jr. (knee), Rollins’ 12 assists were the most in a game for him since November 20, when he dished out a career-high 14 against the 76ers. Rollins played 33 minutes against the Hawks, with Milwaukee’s lack of point guard depth contributing to his playing more than the other four starters. The Bucks play twice more during Week 19, starting with the Jazz on Saturday.

Dieng’s 14 points in Wednesday’s defeat weren’t a shocking development. However, fantasy managers likely hoped to get more from him in the other relevant categories. Dieng’s fantasy value has remained low, but he’s a player for whom the Bucks will likely attempt to find more playing time during the final weeks of the regular season. He started and played 26 minutes on Wednesday, with his playing time taking a hit because the game was a blowout.

Wednesday’s game was one that the Bucks needed, as they trailed Atlanta by four games for the final play-in spot. Unfortunately for Giannis and co., they were on the wrong end of a blowout at home. Of importance to fantasy managers was that Antetokounmpo played 25 minutes, matching his number in Monday’s loss to the Celtics. The concern now is what happens if the Bucks fall even further off the pace for a play-in spot, especially if that were to happen during the playoff weeks in fantasy leagues.

Brown finished Wednesday’s defeat with his 13th double-double of the season, more than double his total in 2024-25 (five). However, he was unable to help Boston overcome its 38 percent shooting from the field, as the Hornets won 118-89. Given how well Brown has played overall, it would be unsurprising if he rebounded in a big way when the Celtics host the Mavericks on Friday.

White shot the ball well on Wednesday, making over half of his shot attempts and knocking down all eight of his free throws. However, his efforts weren’t enough to keep the Celtics from getting run off their home court. In the 118-89 defeat, only White and Jaylen Brown reached double figures for the Celtics, who shot 38 percent from the field and 10-of-36 from three. Boston plays twice more in Week 19, starting with the Mavericks on Friday.

Rollins was moved to the bench on Monday, the first time that he hasn’t started a game since December 26. And he had a rough night, shooting 1-of-6 from two and 1-of-5 from beyond the arc. Given how well Rollins has played for most of this season, fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Monday’s stat line. The concern is the playing time, as the 24 minutes were the fewest for Rollins since that December 26 loss to the Grizzlies.

Dieng was inserted into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Monday, the second start that he’s made since being acquired at the February trade deadline. While the final stat line was decent, Dieng did not do enough to affect fantasy basketball truly. With Dieng starting and Giannis Antetokounmpo returning from a calf strain, there was no room in the rotation for Kyle Kuzma.

Having missed five weeks with a strained right calf, the second time this season that he’s suffered that injury, Antetokounmpo was under a minutes limit on Monday. He played 25 minutes against the Celtics, and the fact that the game was a blowout also factored into Giannis’ playing time. The Bucks were above .500 without their best player, but the team’s chemistry appeared off on Monday, an unsurprising development due to the lack of practice time. Antetokounmpo will look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Hawks.

With Jaylen Brown (illness) sidelined, the Celtics ran more of their offense through Pritchard when he was on the floor Monday night. After going scoreless on 0-of-4 shooting in Sunday’s win over the 76ers, he rebounded nicely in Milwaukee, getting up a team-high 23 shots. And the nine assists were the most in a game for Pritchard since December 20, when he recorded ten against the Raptors.

An issue for White on Monday was his shooting from inside the arc, as he made just one of his six attempts on the night. However, shooting struggles have rarely prevented the Celtics guard from providing excellent overall value.

White will look to clean up the shooting in Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.

The Celtics being down two starters, Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, did not prevent Hauser from doing what he’s expected to in Monday’s 108-81 victory. He shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc while providing the bonus of a complete stat line. Hauser remains a player whose fantasy value is limited to one category, but on Monday, he showed he can do a bit more when the Celtics are shorthanded.

His value in redraft leagues depends on Brown’s availability, while dynasty league managers must continue to roster González.
