Scheierman returned to the starting lineup and ended up seeing a lot more usage than he typically does. Boston was resting most of the usual rotation players, which allowed Scheierman to star. He provided excellent value across the board, which led the Celtics backups to an upset win over the Magic starters. Scheierman has been fantastic in his second season and should be a solid reserve option for Boston during the playoffs.

Harper signed a two-year standard deal last week after playing on a two-way contract for most of the season. He hasn’t seen the floor much this season, but he played a significant role in Game 82 with Boston having already clinched the No. 2 seed in the East. Harper likely won’t see the floor outside of garbage time during the playoffs, but he was able to take advantage of his extended opportunity in this game.

Garza got the starting nod in Game 82 with the Celtics already locked in as the No. 2 seed in the East. He set new season highs for points and rebounds while recording his second double-double of the year. Garza has been a solid rotation piece, which has led to this being the most productive season of his career. However, with the Celtics healthy entering the playoffs, his role will be limited during the postseason.

Having fallen out of the Knicks’ rotation recently, Alvarado started Sunday’s regular-season finale and logged 34 minutes. Acquired from the Pelicans at a time when the Knicks were shorthanded on the perimeter, his opportunities may be limited during the playoffs. That said, Alvarado does not need much time to be a nuisance on the defensive end of the floor, so there may still be a role for him in the Knicks’ first-round series against the Hawks.

Among the players expected to be in the Knicks’ postseason rotation, McBride was one of the few to play credible minutes on Sunday. And to the delight of head coach Mike Brown and his staff, Deuce looked sharp in his 24 minutes on the court. Given the amount of time he missed following sports hernia surgery, that’s more important than the stat line that he recorded. The Knicks will face the Hawks in the first round, which begins next weekend.

Absent from the initial injury report, González has been added due to right foot pain.

The Knicks secured the No. 3 seed with their win over the Raptors on Friday, so the only starter who will play on Sunday is Mikal Bridges due to his streak of consecutive games played. Anunoby was injured during the first half of Friday’s game, with Landry Shamet replacing him in the lineup.

The Celtics, who secured the No. 2 seed in the East with Friday’s win over the Pelicans, will sit most of their key rotation players on Sunday.

Banton, who spent some time with the Celtics on a 10-day contract out of the All-Star break, is returning to Beantown on a two-year deal. The versatile wing has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the G League, appearing in five NBA games for the Clippers and Celtics. With Boston having secured the No. 2 seed on Friday, Banton may absorb some minutes in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Magic.

Of the Knicks’ five starters, Bridges may be the only one guaranteed to play in Sunday’s game against the Hornets, preserving his consecutive games played streak. However, fantasy managers in active leagues who are rostering Bridges should not expect him to play starters’ minutes. Jordan Clarkson (10/1/4) and Mohamed Diawara (3/1/1/1) are likely to see their opportunities increase in the regular season finale.

Towns added another double-double to his league-leading tally, recording his 56th on Friday. He and the Knicks have looked sharp during the final week of the regular season, which is good to see with the playoffs one week away. The Knicks secured the No. 3 seed on Friday, so Towns could either play limited minutes or sit out Sunday’s game against the Hornets entirely.

Brunson and the Knicks took care of business on Friday, securing the No. 3 seed in the East with their win and Cleveland’s loss to Atlanta. As a result, fantasy managers in active leagues should plan for the possibility of Brunson not playing in Sunday’s game against the Hornets. If he sits, Jose Alvarado (12/5/2 with one three-pointer) would move into the starting lineup.

Pritchard came off the bench, but led the Celtics with 30 minutes played. The 28-year-old point guard had 21 points on 14 attempts from the field, five three-pointers and 10 assists. Pritchard provided seventh-round per game value this season. After another great year, he’s a candidate to sit out the Celtics’ last game on Sunday since they’ve now clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Brown had 23 points, but didn’t make much of an impact in any of the other categories and also had seven turnovers. It wasn’t the best return game for the 29-year-old shooting guard after missing Thursday’s loss to the Knicks with an Achilles injury. Brown would seem to be a potential candidate to sit out in the Celtics’ regular season finale against the Magic on Sunday.

Hauser scored at least 20 points in a game once in the first three months of the year and has now done it twice already in April.

While he wasn’t Joe Mazzulla’s choice to fill in for the injured Jaylen Brown (Achilles), Scheierman still provided key offensive contributions on Thursday. The second-year wing made six of his seven three-point attempts, matching his career-high in points. In fact, Scheierman totaled 21 points over his previous five appearances. Jordan Walsh received the starting nod in New York, and he finished with five points, two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer. Scheierman has the higher offensive ceiling, and that’s how things played out on Thursday.

With no Jaylen Brown, the Celtics were going to need others to step up offensively on Thursday. Unsurprisingly, Pritchard answered the call, recording his first 20-point game since March 29 against the Hornets. He scored eight of his points in the third quarter, helping the Celtics erase a 12-point deficit and take a two-point lead into the fourth quarter. Pritchard’s 23 points weren’t enough to help Boston take home the victory, but they’re still well-positioned to be the No. 2 seed in the East.

Thursday’s game was the first at Madison Square Garden for Tatum since he ruptured his Achilles tendon during Game 4 of last May’s second-round playoff series. The Celtics star recorded another double-double, his tenth of the season, and he’s scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games. Add in the assists, and the overall stat line compensated for the low field-goal percentage. Plus, Boston played Thursday’s game without Jaylen Brown, which clearly makes a difference.

Towns recorded his league-leading 55th double-double of the season on Thursday, and he did so on 50 percent shooting from the field. Against the Celtics, KAT appeared to have a better feel for when to pop for jumpers and when to attack the basket in the two-man game, especially with Jalen Brunson.

One game removed from recording a 30-point double-double in a win over the Hawks, Brunson recorded his third double-double in as many games on Thursday. Over his last three games, the Knicks’ point guard has been responsible for 34 assists and six turnovers. While Brunson is a more than capable scorer, the Knicks are at their best offensively when everyone plays a part in the action. Against the Celtics, Brunson was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, one of the reasons why the Knicks pulled out the victory.

If the Celtics were going to give up anything defensively on Thursday, it was going to be Josh Hart’s three-point attempts. Unfortunately for Boston, the strategy backfired, as he shot 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, including two fourth-quarter daggers. The 26 points were the most in a game for Hart since he scored 33 in a March 17 win over the Pacers. Boston wasn’t the first time to take that defensive approach with Hart, and they won’t be the last. And if he can make teams pay consistently, his and the Knicks’ ceilings will be raised.

The Celtics won’t have Jaylen Brown for Thursday’s game, as he sits due to an Achilles injury. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Walsh, who will be more valuable defensively than as a scorer. It would be unsurprising if he were given the task of defending Jalen Brunson.

For the first time in a month, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in a game. No Jalen Brunson in the lineup opened things up for the other Knicks, especially those who take a back seat offensively on most nights. In addition to shooting 66.7 percent from the field, Bridges’ three free throws were the most he’s attempted in a game since March 13. In fact, since that win over the Pacers, he totaled four free-throw attempts in the nine games that followed. Regardless of who’s on the court for the Knicks, they need Bridges to be more aggressive on offense.
