Brown’s magnum opus featured an extremely efficient shooting performance as he knocked down 18-of-26 attempts, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc, finishing at nearly 70 percent from the floor. It was his second 50-point effort, matching his previous career-high mark set back on January 2, 2022. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone combined with teammate Derrick White for 24 first-quarter points as Boston erupted for a season-high 42 points in the opening stanza and simply never looked back. It was a sublime all-around performance as Brown also locked up Clippers star Kawhi Leonard on the defensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 29 points in 11 of his last 12 games since December 2. Unreal. The Celtics return home next week for a four-game slate that includes matchups against the Bulls, Nuggets, Raptors and Spurs.

Jaylen Brown’s 50-point explosion will grab most of the headlines in this one-sided affair, but White remains the unheralded straw that stirs the metaphorical drink on both ends of the floor. The 31-year-old guard, who ranks second in the league in “stocks” (steals and blocks), added three more to the ledger while defending Clippers superstars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, who were held to fewer than 25 points each. He’s topped 20 points in eight of his last 14 games since December 2.

Camara isn’t an elite three-point shooter, but he has upped his production in that category. The Trail Blazers’ wing has hit multiple three-pointers in six straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, Camara’s percentages have decreased, as has the defensive production. For those reasons, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While managers in deep leagues can afford to remain patient, standard-league managers who have Camara rostered have a decision to make ahead of Portland’s four-game Week 12.

Clingan has recorded four double-doubles in his last five appearances, with Saturday’s ranking among his best of the season. The 7-foot-2 center notched a season-high point total and matched his previous high in made three-pointers. Clingan didn’t record any defensive stats on Saturday, but over the past two weeks, he has offered sixth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats.

Avdija continues his charge toward a first All-Star Game appearance. One night removed from dropping his first 30-point double-double in over a month, the Trail Blazers forward finished Saturday’s win with his third triple-double. And in another positive trend, Avdija is steadily cleaning up the turnovers. He was responsible for two on Saturday, matching his number in Friday’s win over the Pelicans. Portland opens a four-game Week 12 on Monday against the Jazz.

The lone change to the Celtics’ starting lineup is Hauser, who replaces Jordan Walsh after hitting five three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Kings. While Walsh is the superior defender, Hauser’s three-point production gives him a solid chance of offering value in category leagues.

The many injuries that the Trail Blazers have dealt with on the perimeter opened the door for Love, and the undrafted rookie out of Arizona has taken advantage. He’s now reached double figures in six straight games, providing top-100 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Rostered in seven percent of Yahoo! leagues, Love is worth a look in deeper formats while guys like Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson are out. As a two-way contract player, he’s limited to 50 games, and the rookie has played 27. We’ll see if Love can do enough to earn a standard deal before hitting the 50-game mark.

Since missing three games in early December with a leg injury, Clingan has hit double digits in rebounds in eight of his 11 appearances. Friday’s double-double was his 11th of the season and fifth since returning from injury, with the second-year center providing eighth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats. Robert Williams III (four points, six rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot) played 18 minutes off the bench; as long as Clingan can meet or exceed 30 minutes, as he did on Friday, his fantasy value will be fine.

While there were moments when Sharpe struggled to get his offense going, especially when guarded by Pelicans rookie Micah Peavy, he still scored 23 points on 50 percent shooting. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has provided top-100 per-game value in eight-cat formats. Like Deni Avdija, he needs to clean up the turnovers to offer similar value in nine-cat formats, but things could be a lot worse for Sharpe managers than they have been recently.

Avdija has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, but this was his first with at least 30 points in over a month. The Trail Blazers’ forward continues to flourish despite being thrust into a lead playmaker role that he had seldom taken on in the past. Another positive for fantasy managers on Friday was that Avdija only committed two turnovers; that category has been problematic at times. Portland ends its Week 11 schedule with a game against the Spurs on Saturday.

Less than one week removed from seven made threes against the Pacers, Hauser popped off for five triples against the Kings. The veteran sharpshooter also made contributions on the glass during his 29 minutes of game action. Hauser won’t provide much fantasy value aside from three-point shooting, but he’s a fine streaming option for those managers in category leagues who could use a boost to their three-point production.

On the heels of a seven-block performance against the Jazz, White was much quieter as a shot blocker on Thursday. Still, he accumulated four stocks on the defensive end to go along with his team-high in assists and his second consecutive game with at least 15 points. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, prevented him from having a great final line. Still, he was solid and continues to put up good fantasy production.

Despite not shooting well from beyond the arc, Brown nearly found his way to the 30-point mark. He flourished inside the arc and additionally hit the glass hard to tally a double-double. The former Finals MVP did commit five turnovers, however, signaling that it wasn’t easy for him against this Sacramento defense. Still, he finished with another strong line in what’s been a successful season for him as the clear No. 1 option in Boston.

Holiday has been out for over a month with a calf injury, but appears to be inching closer to a return.

Sharpe struggled with his efficiency on Wednesday, tallying nearly as many missed shots as he had points — zero made three-pointers, and limited production from the free-throw line led to the fourth-year guard’s lowest points total of December. He’s struggled as a scorer against OKC in the three matchups with them this season, but fortunately for Sharpe’s fantasy managers, Portland and OKC won’t face each other again this regular season. He’ll shift his focus to Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Deni Avdija was production on Wednesday fell below his standard. Still, he had a well-rounded performance to end the calendar year, finishing as the Trail Blazers’ leader in rebounds and assists on the night, while tallying the second-most points. Turnovers brought his fantasy production down, however — he had seven of them. But he’ll have a chance to get back on track on Friday in New Orleans against the Pelicans.

Cissoko led all Trail Blazers in scoring despite logging just 27 minutes. The majority of his fantasy value on the night came as a three-point shooter, where he set a new season-high in makes. The third-year guard has consistently played a sizable role for this Blazers team of late. With Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson still out of the lineup due to injuries, there’s a chance Cissoko remains a starter moving forward.

This was just Simons’ fifth 20-point game of the season, which comes one year after he averaged nearly 20 points per game. Simons has been disappointing this year after Boston acquired him in the offseason. He hasn’t been as effective as a scorer as he had been in Portland. This was a fun performance for him, but he hasn’t been worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues this season.

Not only did White lead Boston in scoring in the win, but he made a tremendous impact on the defensive end. One of the best shot-blocking guards in recent history set a new career high for blocked shots in the win. Despite still shooting just below 40 percent over the course of the season, White now ranks inside the top-25 in nine-category leagues this year. He has been even better as of late and has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks.

Unfortunately, Brown’s 30-point game streak came to an end. He would’ve broken Larry Bird’s franchise record for most consecutive 30-point games, but instead he reached double-digit assists for the second time this season and helped the Celtics to a win. Brown is still having an incredible season even if the historic streak is no longer active. He’ll look to stay hot in Sacramento on Thursday.

As a player on a two-way contract, Love can only be active for 50 NBA games. Monday was the 25th for the rookie out of Arizona, and there may come a point soon when Portland has to consider giving him a standard deal. Active for the Trail Blazers’ last 22 games, Love has scored in double figures in four straight. He finished two points shy of his season-high on Monday while matching his previous high with six three-pointers. Love still doesn’t offer much overall fantasy value, so there’s no need to add him. But he may be on his way to earning added job security before this season concludes.

For the second time this month, Clingan has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. While the stat line against the Mavericks did not include any defensive stats, the second-year center shot 80 percent from the field and made multiple three-pointers for the third time in five games. Over the past two weeks, Clingan has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s been close to a top-25 player for managers punting free-throw percentage. Portland has three more games on its Week 11 schedule, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Sharpe has scored at least 21 points in eight of his last nine appearances for the Trail Blazers, his most consistent stretch since early November. The Trail Blazers guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. While foul shooting has been an issue, with Sharpe making 65.5 percent of his attempts, he’s shot nearly 50 percent from the field during this run. That’s good news for the Trail Blazers and those who have the athletic guard rostered.

It’s been fascinating to track González’s growth over the course of his rookie season as his role continues to expand with the upstart Celtics. The 19-year-old came within one point of his season high in this one while adding six rebounds and two steals, continuing to flash his defensive upside as a disruptive on-ball presence. The offense is still catching up, but the minutes are trending in the right direction — he’s logged at least 27 minutes in four of Boston’s last five games since December 19. He remains a work in progress offensively, but the pathway to sustained relevance is becoming clearer by the night.

He hit a clutch floater in the final minute to give Portland a four-point advantage and finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double.
