While White was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Scheierman started for Jayson Tatum and played 34 minutes. If White returns, that would push Payton Pritchard to the bench. Scheierman will also be with the reserves, as Tatum is available.

Scheierman played his role well on Thursday as a three-point specialist. In the start, he drained at least three three-pointers for the eighth time during his sophomore campaign and tallied his fourth double-digit scoring outing of March. He was also one of Boston’s better rebounders and facilitators in the loss. While he may not have a ton of value across fantasy leagues, he’s proven to be a consistent part of the Celtics’ nightly rotation.

Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc. The subpar shooting efficiency led to a relatively unspectacular scoring performance in the loss, on a night when the Celtics desperately needed offensive production. Pritchard also didn’t provide much as a facilitator, and didn’t come away with any stocks. Fantasy managers will hope for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against the Wizards.

In his first appearance after being ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, Brown logged perhaps his best stat line of March. In the loss, he hit the 30-point mark for the first time since February 22, which was also the last time before Thursday that he got up at least 25 shot attempts. Brown’s aggressiveness was needed while playing without Jayson Tatum against a very tough Thunder defense. He did commit six turnovers and shot somewhat inefficiently, but was otherwise productive.

Mitchell was solid in his 30 minutes of game action, finishing with fewer points than only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder en route to the two-point win. Efficient shooting was the key driver of Mitchell’s success on Thursday, but his ability to facilitate and make plays for others was another noteworthy takeaway. Whether he’s started or come off the bench, Mitchell has become a reliable wing option for the Thunder in his second NBA season. He’ll have a chance to find solid production again on Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Holmgren had a relatively pedestrian game on Thursday compared to some of his recent performances. The versatile center finished below his average in points, missed a double-double by one rebound, and didn’t record any blocked shots for a second straight game. He still concluded as the team’s top rebounder on the night and one of its best scorers, but fantasy managers will certainly want more from Holmgren with the fantasy playoffs on the horizon.

Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a memorable outing in the Thunder’s close win over the Celtics on Thursday. A notable midrange jumper during the third quarter gave the reigning MVP his 127th consecutive 20-point game, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history. He proceeded to score efficiently, come up big down the stretch, and log at least 30 points for the 38th time this season. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect any dip in production from SGA as the fantasy playoffs near.

The Celtics are without Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pritchard and Scheierman are the replacements.

The Celtics continue to play the long game with their star, and rightfully so. While this is a big game against a good team, the playoffs are much bigger, and the Celtics want to be sure that Tatum is as healthy as possible when that time comes. Payton Pritchard (neck) will play on Thursday after missing Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, so he will step back into a bigger role.

While Thursday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, the Celtics aren’t going to put too much on Tatum’s shoulders as he continues his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has logged 27 minutes in each of his three games and is likely to hover around that number for the foreseeable future.

Pritchard is on track to play after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs with neck spasms. Ron Harper Jr. played 33 minutes off the bench, knocking down six three-pointers and scoring 22 points.

Tatum has played 27 minutes in all three games since returning from an Achilles injury. The 28-year-old small forward continues to progress scoring 15, 20 and 24 points. Tatum wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 24 field goal attempts, but that’s to be expected given all the time off he’s had. The Celtics have two more games this week and there are enough off days that Tatum should be available for both.

White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points. The 31-year-old point guard also had five rebounds, seven assists and a block on defense. White has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Celtics have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Thunder on Thursday.

Appearing in a game for the first time since January 21, Mitchell looked far from rusty in the first half of Monday’s victory. Shooting 7-of-12 from the field, the second-year guard scored 15 points before halftime. Mitchell ultimately played 29 minutes, with Cason Wallace (four points, two rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) taking the most significant hit in terms of playing time. Before his injuries, Mitchell was productive enough to become a must-roster player in deep leagues. In the aftermath of Monday’s performance, his rostership is likely to increase.

As a general rule, JayWill should be considered as a streaming option on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein don’t play. On nights when both are out, Williams is a must-roster player. He was outstanding against the Nuggets, shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The seven triples were a career-high for the former second-round pick, and fantasy managers also benefited from the rebounds, assists and blocked shots. Oklahoma City doesn’t play again until Thursday, which may be enough time to get Holmgren and Hartenstein back in the lineup. If not, do not hesitate to pick up Williams.

A thriller in Oklahoma City went down to the wire, with the reigning Most Valuable Player getting the last laugh. Gilgeous-Alexander hit three-pointers on the Thunder’s final two possessions, the last giving the reigning champs the 129-126 victory. And he made some history, moving into a tie with Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points, 126. Add in the career-high 15 assists and nine rebounds, and Monday was another great night for SGA and those who have him on their fantasy rosters.

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.

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.

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.

The Celtics play three games in Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.

Williams moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, as a calf injury sidelined Isaiah Hartenstein. JayWill shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories while playing 32 minutes. His productivity is no surprise to experienced fantasy managers, as Williams has put up some big lines in the past when allowed to start. The Thunder’s three-game Week 20 does not include a back-to-back, so Williams’ value could be limited if Hartenstein returns.

The Thunder did not have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein for Saturday’s game, with the former’s absence opening a spot in the starting lineup for Joe.

Gilgeous-Alexander is one step closer, having scored at least 20 points in 125 consecutive games. That’s one away from Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record, and SGA can match the all-time great on Monday against the Nuggets. As for his performance against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have the best night shooting from the field, but a near-perfect night at the foul line boosted the points tally. Monday’s matchup with the Nuggets is the first of three games for the Thunder in Week 20.

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.

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.
