Minott will miss a third straight game with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the Celtics have relied more on Jordan Walsh and Sam Hauser in recent games.

Simons continues to get more comfortable with his role in Boston, having scored in double figures in six straight and nine of his last ten games. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who have him rostered, this has not resulted in increased fantasy value. Over the past three weeks, Simons is still ranked outside the top-150 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Given how competitive the Celtics have been, it would be surprising to see them make any drastic changes to the roster before the trade deadline, which would not be a good thing for Simons’ fantasy value.

Being the best shot-blocking guard in the NBA gives White’s fantasy value a welcome boost, especially in category leagues. He recorded three more rejections on Wednesday, extending his streak with at least one to 11 consecutive games. Due partly to that production, White has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. The Celtics return to action on Friday against the Raptors.

Queta’s overall stat line was lean, except in one category: rebounds. Two days removed from grabbing 13 boards in a win over the Bulls, he tallied a career-high 20 against the Nuggets. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queta has offered top-100 per-game value over the past two weeks. Given his productivity throughout the season, the former second-round pick is worth a look in some 12-team formats, especially where there’s a need for rebounds.

After a rough night in Monday’s win over the Bulls, Brown got back on track Wednesday night in terms of scoring. Since December 2, he’s tallied at least 30 points in 11 of the 14 games that he’s played. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and the overall stat line recorded on Wednesday was excellent. However, Brown was responsible for seven turnovers, the most he’s had in a game since November 18 (eight vs. Brooklyn). Due to that category, there has been a three-round gap in Brown’s eight- and nine-cat values over the past month.

After scoring six points in back-to-back games, Raynaud reached double figures on Tuesday. The rookie center finished one rebound shy of a double-double, but he’s now played 35 minutes or more in four of his last six appearances. Raynaud’s offensive ceiling may be capped since he’s in a lineup with three ball-dominant players (Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan). But, over the past two weeks, he has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats. Despite the limited ceiling, Raynaud is worth rostering as long as the Kings are without Domantas Sabonis.

DeRozan shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, the first time since December 18 (ten games) in which he’s made multiple triples in the same game. Fantasy managers don’t look to him for value in that category, but nights like Tuesday are helpful, considering the decreased scoring output. Compared to last season, DeRozan’s average (18.4) has declined by nearly four points. Because of the overall production and efficiency, he’s still offering top-50 value in nine-cat formats, but things could be better for the veteran guard/forward.

After playing 36 minutes off the bench in his first game back from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for nine games, LaVine was back in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The Kings did not have Keegan Murray, who will miss three to four weeks with a sprained ankle, so LaVine’s promotion did not come at the expense of Precious Achiuwa (nine points, nine rebounds, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 22 minutes). LaVine recorded a complete stat line against Dallas, and he has the tools needed to threaten top-50 per-game value. Of course, that depends on how the Kings handle the trade deadline, as they should probably be “sellers.”

Murray suffered the injury in Sunday’s matchup with Milwaukee, and the injury will keep him out through the end of January at the earliest.

The Celtics had a 21-point lead at halftime after Pritchard hit one of his classic buzzer-beating three-pointers at the end of the second quarter. Most of the rest of his points came on pull-up shots in the lane. Pritchard has provided sixth-round per game value this season. The Celtics will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Nuggets.

It was a tale of two halves for Simons on Monday. He had no points in the first half, but dropped 27 points with eight three-pointers in the second half of the win over the Bulls. The 26-year-old shooting guard is averaging 13.1 points per game this year, but he’s scored at least 20 points in two of his last four games. Still, his scoring has fallen off since averaging 19.3 points per game last year. Simons isn’t going to be fantasy relevant without more consistent scoring.

Murray left Sunday’s game against the Bucks with a left ankle sprain and didn’t return. The 25-year-old small forward is now ruled out well in advance of Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Active after a nine-game absence, LaVine was not restricted in any way on Sunday. He did come off the bench, with Precious Achiuwa (four points, three rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes) remaining in the starting lineup. However, with LaVine playing 36 minutes, he’ll likely start as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks. With Keegan Murray exiting Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle, there’s a chance that Achiuwa remains in the starting lineup for at least one more game, even if LaVine is promoted.

One game removed from becoming the highest-scoring point guard in league history, Westbrook recorded a robust stat line on Sunday. The field-goal percentage was poor, but the veteran point guard did a little bit of everything and kept the turnovers in check. Over the past two weeks, Westbrook has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. And if Keegan Murray has to miss time after spraining his left ankle, Westbrook may boast a higher fantasy ceiling in the short term.

Ellis played five minutes before exiting with a left thumb injury, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the night. With Keegan Murray (ankle) also leaving Sunday’s game due to injury, the Kings have relied mainly on a seven-man rotation. Malik Monk has not played, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of becoming fantasy-relevant if Ellis and Murray miss time.

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.

Raynaud injured his left knee late in Friday’s loss to the Suns, hobbling off the court after being inadvertently clipped by teammate Russell Westbrook. The rookie’s MRI on Saturday showed no structural damage, and the fact that he’s expected to play on Sunday is excellent news. Drew Eubanks will remain in the backup center role, where there isn’t much fantasy value to be found.

Raynaud, who has filled in for the injured Domantas Sabonis as Sacramento’s starting center, had a rather nondescript night in Phoenix. Unfortunately, that changed when the rookie center’s left knee was clipped by teammate Russell Westbrook while setting a screen late in the fourth quarter. Raynaud exited immediately after the injury, and the Kings would be in a tough spot if he had to miss time. Drew Eubanks would likely re-enter the starting lineup, while Dylan Cardwell may need to be recalled from the G League.

Murray made three three-pointers against the Kings, but even more impressive was his consistent mid-range game. The 25-year-old small forward was 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line and 6-of-12 from inside it. Murray didn’t get much help from his teammates, though, as the Kings lost by 27. He’s scored at least 20 points for just the second time in his last 13 games. Murray will look to keep the hot hand going against the Bucks on Sunday.

Westbrook passed Oscar Robertson to become the highest scoring point guard in the history of the NBA with 26,711 points. The 37-year-old point guard also has the most rebounds of any point guard in league history as well as field goals made. Westbrook has had an incredible career and can still play at a high level. He averaged 16.2 points per game, 7.5 assists per game and 5.8 rebounds per game in December. The Kings conclude the week with a game against the Bucks on Sunday.

LaVine hasn’t played since Dec. 14, and he won’t make his return against Phoenix. Precious Achiuwa should continue to start, though he hasn’t been consistently productive for fantasy managers.

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.

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.

Westbrook had another down performance by his standards, one game after a low-production outing against the Clippers. He narrowly made it to double figures as a scorer, with inefficient, high-volume three-point shooting among the reasons for his low output. He was again unspectacular on the glass, but made contributions as a facilitator. Fantasy managers will hope that he can bounce back against the Suns on Friday to log a stronger final line.

Schröder shot well both inside and outside the arc to finish as one of Sacramento’s top scorers on the evening. And in addition to his scoring, he tallied a team-high in assists in his 28 minutes of game action.

He’ll have a chance to find more production against the Suns on Friday.

DeRozan bounced back from an eight-point outing against the Clippers to lead the Kings in scoring and finish as the only one on his team to reach the 20-point mark. Per usual, the bulk of his scoring was done inside the arc, but he also made use of the free-throw line. The veteran wing had some utility as a facilitator, as well, and is capable of some strong fantasy performances so long as the Kings stay competitive enough for him to log heavy minutes.

A double-figure scorer in two straight and four of his last six appearances, Clifford recorded a season-high point total on Tuesday. And it’s worth noting that the rookie did not have to wait until “garbage time” to put up his points. Clifford shot 6-of-8 from the field in the first three quarters and finished a steal shy of a complete stat line. One solid performance does not make him a player worth adding, but Clifford is undoubtedly someone who would have added value if the Kings move some of their veterans before the February trade deadline.

Murray returned from his calf injury much sooner than many may have expected, as he was back in the lineup on Tuesday after a two-game absence. Interestingly, he played 30 minutes despite the game getting out of hand by halftime. The only important takeaway from Tuesday’s game for Murray managers is that he got through it without aggravating the calf injury. The Kings play three games over the final four days of Week 11, starting with a back-to-back on Thursday/Friday against the Celtics and Suns. We’ll see if Murray is available for all three.

The play of the Kings’ 2025 draft picks may have been the only positive to take from Tuesday’s 131-90 defeat. Raynaud recorded his sixth double-double since moving into the starting lineup. Add in the two blocked shots, and the final stat line was decent. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player over the past three weeks. If Raynaud is sitting on the waiver wire in 14-team leagues, and even some 12-team formats, fantasy managers can do far worse than picking him up if there’s a need for production at the center position.

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.

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.

Brown matched Larry Bird’s franchise record with his ninth consecutive 30-point performance dating back to December 2. Boston had a chance to steal the game late, but Brown was involved in a couple turnovers in the closing moments that snuffed out the comeback bid.

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.
