Both players sat out against the Spurs on Saturday, but they’ll both take the court following a one-game absence. Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable, so both Horford and Pritchard could see additional minutes if Brown ends up sitting out.

The Celtics played Saturday’s game without Al Horford, who was ruled out with a lingering toe injury. That freed up additional minutes for Kornet, who made the most of his opportunity. The veteran center’s 16 rebounds were a career-high, and the double-double was his second of the season. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, Kornet would not be worth the risk in most leagues. However, between Horford’s toe injury and the desire to ensure Kristaps Porzingis (11/8/1/0/2 with one three-pointer) is at full strength for the playoffs, there may be more opportunities for Kornet to approach starters’ minutes during Boston’s four-game Week 22.

Holiday recorded his fifth 20-point game of the season on Saturday, with the 21 points being the most he’s dropped since March 14. While this has been a disappointing season overall for those who have Jrue rostered, he has offered top 60 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, he’s another Celtics player who may be an “injury management” for Week 22, even with Boston not having any back-to-backs on their schedule. Injuries have limited Holiday to 57 appearances, which may be used as a reason to get him additional rest ahead of the postseason.

Tatum was back in the Celtics’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Suns, and he made up for lost time with an excellent stat line. Over the past two weeks, the Celtics star has offered top-10 value in eight-cat formats. When Tatum is on the court, fantasy managers don’t worry about much. However, with the Celtics locked into a top-two seed in the East and trailing Cleveland by four games in the loss column, the team may look to get its primary weapons additional time off before the end of the regular season. The Celtics play four games without a back-to-back during Week 22, but that doesn’t guarantee Tatum will be available for each contest.

Henderson will miss at least one game after landing in the league’s concussion protocol. While his absence does not change anything regarding Anfernee Simons’ status as the starting point guard, Henderson not playing likely means more playing time for Dalano Banton. Banton is not a must-stream player in this spot, but that would change if Simons also misses Sunday’s game. Simons is questionable with a sore right forearm.

Horford will miss Saturday’s game, which will be his first absence that isn’t part of a back-to-back January.

Horford has dealt with a sprained left big toe for a few weeks, but most of his absences have been due to the Celtics playing a back-to-back. That is not the case for Saturday, which is concerning, even if Boston is virtually locked into the two-seed in the East. If Horford cannot play, look for Luke Kornet to pick up additional minutes off the bench.

Tillman has only appeared in three games since the beginning of February, last playing on March 6. His availability does not impact fantasy basketball. However, Pritchard leads all bench scorers this season and has been good enough to merit being rostered in standard leagues. If he cannot play against the Spurs, more minutes would become available to Sam Hauser off the bench. Also, Jayson Tatum (ankle) will absorb some of those minutes as he is off the injury report.

Avdija cooled off a bit after back-to-back 30-point performances, but he was able to lead Portland in scoring on Thursday despite the loss. Still, over the past two weeks, Avdija has averaged 22.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, one steal and 3.4 triples per game, which has him ranked inside the top 20 in nine-cat scoring during this stretch. He’ll look to keep it going in New York on Sunday to close out the week. He had 27 points and 15 rebounds in a loss to the Knicks earlier this month.

Sharpe continues to start with Jerami Grant (knee) still sidelined. Hopefully you aren’t holding out hope that Grant is going to return this season. Sharpe has taken advantage of the opportunity and has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. The rebounding numbers have been decent, but he struggles to provide value in multiple categories, which limits his value outside of points formats. Still, this development is important for a player with loads of upside that will turn 22 in at the end of May. Dynasty managers still have reason for optimism.

Despite success late last season, Reath wasn’t able to carve out a spot in the rotation for most of this year with Portland. However, he has taken on a larger role in the month of March, which allowed him to set a new season-high with 17 points on Thursday. He scored in double figures in three straight games last week but scored a total of eight points across their last two games entering Thursday. He played 28 minutes to Donovan Clingan’s 18, which isn’t a trend that will stick with any consistency, making it difficult to justify rostering Reath despite him playing well on Thursday.

Horford has started the Celtics’ last 11 games, most recently filling in for the injured Jayson Tatum (ankle) on Wednesday. The 38-year-old finished the victory with a complete stat line and his fifth double-double of the season in 26 minutes. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Horford has offered sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past month. That said, his fantasy value depends on the availability of Boston’s starters. The Celtics visit the Spurs on Saturday in their final game of Week 21.

Limited to nine points in his first game back from a knee issue that cost him three games, Brown looked much sharper on Wednesday. He finished the 30-point win one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and the four three-pointers were the most he’s made in a game since February 28. Over the past month, Brown has offered sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. The Celtics end Week 21 with a game against the Spurs on Saturday in the penultimate game of the team’s road trip.

Porzingis was outstanding in Wednesday’s 132-102 victory, only needing 29 minutes to record his second 30-point game of the season. The Celtics’ forward/center has offered first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The lone concern for Porzingis managers is his availability. However, the Celtics only play once more during Week 21, and the team’s four-game Week 22 does not have a back-to-back. That may bode well for Porzingis’ availability for the championship weeks of the fantasy season.

Tatum was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game but has been officially ruled out.

Known primarily for his defensive ability, Thybulle caught fire from deep on Tuesday. He shot 5-of-6 from three in his 15 minutes on the court, scoring a season-high 15 points. Thybulle has recorded at least one steal in his six appearances this season. Due to the minutes limit, he hasn’t reached the point where he should be rostered in fantasy leagues. That said, a good finish to this season may make Thybulle a draftable player in deep leagues for the 2025-26 campaign.

Henderson’s production has been inconsistent after a run in which he reached double figures in 11 of 12 games after the All-Star break. The second-year guard has surpassed 10 points three times in his last six appearances, shooting 32.4 percent from the field. Therefore, Henderson is ranked outside the top 250 in eight-cat formats during this stretch. The playing time will be there, and Tuesday’s performance was a step in the right direction. As has been the case throughout the season, efficiency is the key for Henderson.

Avdija recorded his third double-double in four games, but he had a tough night shooting the basketball. Deni was 3-of-9 from inside the arc, which was far more surprising than him shooting 3-of-9 from three. However, given how productive he has been, the poor shooting was a blip on the radar. Over the past two weeks, Avdija has been a top 20 player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 84 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he can be a difference-maker for shallow-league managers where Avdija is still available.

Some of Clingan’s best games this season have come against elite centers, and Tuesday’s performance fit the bill. The rookie center recorded a complete stat line against the Jarrett Allen/Evan Mobley tandem, and the 18 points are the most Clingan has scored in a game since February 10. Rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, DC is ranked just outside the top 100 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With Robert Williams done for the season and Deandre Ayton appearing to be headed toward the same fate, Clingan will continue to have every opportunity to finish the season strong.

Pritchard got his first start of the season on Sunday, but he returned to playing his typical role as Boston’s sixth man.
