Brown is good to go for Sunday’s game, meaning the Celtics will only be without two starters (Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis). Brown’s workload should not deviate much from what he’s usually asked to do, especially with the Celtics one Cavaliers victory away from being locked into the two-seed in the East.

Porzingis received stitches after suffering a cut to his face during Friday’s win over the Suns. He isn’t on the injury report for Sunday’s game, so it’s “all systems go” for the Celtics’ starting center. However, Al Horford may still be in the starting lineup, as Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are considered questionable.

With the Celtics unlikely to grab the one-seed from the Cavaliers, the focus for the final week of the regular season will likely be ensuring that their key players are healthy for the playoffs. Despite Sunday’s game not being part of a back-to-back, Tatum and Brown aren’t guaranteed to play. If either sits, Al Horford will likely move into the starting lineup, with Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard taking on enhanced roles within the rotation.

Vassell missed Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets with an ankle injury, but returned Friday and played 36 minutes. He appeared to show no ill effects as he poured in 24 points on 18 shots including six made three-pointers. Vassell also added three steals on the defensive end. He’s a productive player when available, though the Spurs could look to cut his playing time as they look ahead to the draft.

Castle just missed a triple-double for the second consecutive game Friday against the Cavaliers. The 20-year-old shooting guard was just one rebound away from a triple-double after he finished just one assist away from a triple-double Wednesday against the Nuggets. Even without the triple-doubles, Castle is still putting up impressive outings as he pushes for the Rookie of the Year Award. He’s also turned the ball over just four times in his last two games after turning the ball over seven times against the Magic Tuesday.

White provided excellent value rebounds, assists and three-pointers as the Celtics took care of the Suns. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The lone concern for fantasy managers who have White rostered is Sunday’s game against the Wizards, as that could be seen as an opportunity to give him a night off. Boston is essentially locked into the two-seed in the East, so resting up for the postseason may be the priority the rest of the way.

Porzingis took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Cody Martin early in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game. The need for stitches kept the Unicorn’s minutes down, but he was in good spirits while being taken to the locker room. If Porzingis is limited or cannot play in Sunday’s game against the Wizards, Al Horford (seven points, three rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 25 minutes) would be the primary beneficiary.

While Tatum had a rough night from three, shooting 1-of-8, he was 8-of-10 from two, with six of those makes occurring in the restricted area. The result was a 50 percent night from the field and a complete stat line for Tatum, who has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. His season-long value remains high heading into Boston’s final game of Week 22 on Sunday against the Wizards.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game with a knee injury, Brown looked healthy against the Suns. He shot 6-of-10 from the field in the first half, setting the tone in a game where the reigning champs won all four quarters. Over the past two weeks, Brown has only been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats, due mainly to his limited defensive production. However, he’s shot over 50 percent from the field during this run, so efficiency on that end of the floor has not been an issue for the Celtics wing.

Bassey is available after being listed as questionable, though he continues to manage a knee injury that kept him out for a month. The 24-year-old played just 10 minutes against the Warriors last Sunday and fantasy managers should expect his minutes to be limited once again Friday.

Barnes has now scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games after having not scored 20 points in a game since March 10. The 32-year-old small forward has moved up the pecking order on offense due to the multitude of injuries that the Spurs have had to deal with, which included Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan and Keldon Johnson on against Denver. He has put together two consecutive strong performances, and he should continue to be a top scoring option for San Antonio. However, his inconsistent production and lack of contributions in other categories make him a difficult player to rely on in fantasy hoops.

Champagnie moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with Devin Vassell out. Despite playing 32 minutes for the second night in a row, his production fell off a bit as he only had 14 points. Champagnie struggled from three-point land as he went 2-of-9 from distance, compared to 5-of-9 against Orlando on Tuesday. Champagnie is merely a streaming option when the Spurs are missing a starter.

Castle was just one assist shy of a triple-double Wednesday against the Nuggets. The 20-year-old shooting guard continues to finish the season out strong as he pushes for the Rookie of the Year award. Castle improved greatly in the turnover category as he committed just one turnover after turning it over seven times against the Magic on Tuesday. Those turnovers have sabotaged his fantasy value this year, but the future is bright for Castle if he can continue to improve in that area.

Brown returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Monday’s game against the Grizzlies with a knee injury. The 28-year-old small forward wasn’t efficient with 24 points on 20 shots, but also contributed nine rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes. The Celtics aren’t likely to push things with heavy minutes for Brown at this point in the season given his knee issue, but he can still be counted on when available. He’s provided sixth-round value over the last month.

Kornet moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford sidelined. The 29-year-old center played 21 minutes and was efficient with 14 points on nine shots. Kornet can be a valuable streamer in deeper formats when starting, but he didn’t get as much volume as Peyton Pritchard, who played 31 minutes off the bench as the Celtics went with a smaller lineup.

Due to back spasms, Sochan did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Magic.

Despite the Spurs losing four straight games and careering toward the draft lottery, Paul continues to plug along as the starting point guard. The 39-year-old recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday, with the three steals being the most he’s had in a game since before the All-Star break. Over the past two weeks, Paul has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats while sitting just outside that threshold in nine-cat. Back-to-backs have not been an issue, so expect to see Paul on the court Wednesday night in Denver.

Castle had a solid night, shooting just under 50 percent from the field while providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. However, the rookie was also responsible for seven turnovers, the most he’s had in a game since November 19 against the Thunder. Over the past two weeks, Castle has shot just 41.5 percent from the field, which is one reason why he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. He’ll look to bounce back on Wednesday when the Spurs visit the Nuggets.

Nights like Tuesday are why Champagnie still has value in deep leagues, especially when Jeremy Sochan (back) is unavailable. The 19 points are the most he’s scored in a game since March 23, and he’s reached double figures in four of his last six outings. However, Champagnie’s value sits outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sochan is reportedly not expected to travel with the team for Wednesday’s game in Denver, which makes Champagnie worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Barnes’s 24 points were the most he’s scored in a game since March 10, and this was also his first game of at least 15 since March 15. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While capable of providing value as a starter, the production has not been consistent enough to make Barnes a player worth rostering in some 12-team leagues. The one argument in his favor for the rest of Week 22 may be the Spurs’ schedule, as they have three more games to play.

For the second-straight game, Tatum was able to turn in a 20-point double-double in a double-digit win on the road.

They’ve now won nine in a row and 14 of their last 15 games, with Tatum scoring at least 20 points in 10 straight games.

Johnson’s improved play since the All-Star break has been a positive development for fantasy managers who kept the faith. He has provided ninth-round value in nine-cat formats since the break, averaging 15.4 points per game on 54.6 percent shooting from the field. However, with Johnson’s limited production outside of points and rebounds, this may not be sustainable for an entire season. Despite his post-break improvements, Johnson remains outside the top 200 in season-long value in eight- and nine-cat formats.
