While he missed all three of his two-point attempts, White was a respectable 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. The Celtics’ guard’s percentages from two and from three have taken significant dips in comparison to his 2024-25 numbers, but he remains a highly valuable option in category leagues. Saturday’s stat line showed why, as White recorded a full line in his 35 minutes on the floor. The Celtics play four games in Week 21, starting with the Suns on Monday.

Queta was on a roll during the first half of Saturday’s game, ripping off 22 points and six rebounds. While he didn’t do a whole lot after halftime, fantasy managers will be fine with the final numbers. The 24 points were the most in a game for Queta since March 1, when he dropped 27 on the 76ers. With no Nikola Vučević in the fold, the Celtics need to rely on Queta a bit more, which raises his fantasy ceiling if he can be consistently productive.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Tatum surpassed 30 minutes for the first time in his four appearances this season. Even better for fantasy managers, he recorded a new season-high in rebounds and matched his high in assists. The Celtics’ four-game Week 21 does not include a back-to-back, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of an injury management night for Tatum at some point. That said, three games of Tatum still means excellent value for fantasy managers.

While he was responsible for six turnovers, Castle also finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. Since the All-Star break, the second-year guard has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. Castle’s fantasy value has increased steadily throughout the season, as he’s bounced back nicely from a slow start. Two of San Antonio’s four Week 21 games, Sacramento and Indiana, are against teams focused on the future, which could make for good nights for Castle.

Fox didn’t put up a great field goal percentage on Saturday, but he did provide fantasy managers with a complete stat line. However, he has shot 51.1 percent from the field since the All-Star break, so Saturday’s effort was very much a one-off for the Spurs’ guard. Fox will look to get Week 21 off to a good start when the Spurs visit the Clippers on Monday.

Wemby and the Spurs seemed intent on avenging their loss to the Hornets earlier this season in Saturday’s rematch. The 7-foot-4 phenom was dominant, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double while also recording five defensive contributions. The Spurs open their four-game Week 21 with a road back-to-back against the Clippers and Kings on Monday and Tuesday.

Bassey, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the 76ers in late January, is back in the NBA. He can give the Celtics a little more insurance in the post while the team awaits Nikola Vučević’s return from a fractured finger. However, there’s no need to consider adding Bassey in fantasy leagues.

White and Scheierman are available after initially being listed as probable for Sunday’s game. The former will resume his starting point guard duties, pushing Payton Pritchard to the bench. Scheierman, who logged 34 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, will come off the bench since Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is available.

Wembanyama is back after a one-game absence due to right ankle soreness. The 22-year-old center’s return to the lineup will push Luke Kornet back to his role as the backup center. Wembanyama had 39 points and 11 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Celtics.

Harper was initially listed as questionable with a calf contusion, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hornets. The 20-year-old point guard suffered the injury during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, though he returned to finish the game with 13 points, five rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes. Carter Bryant should see more minutes with Harper sidelined, but isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Harper suffered a right calf contusion during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets, but he was able to return after a brief period on the bench. If he’s unable to play against the Hornets, that may free up a few minutes for Carter Bryant, whose playing time decreased on Thursday due to Harrison Barnes’ return from an ankle injury.

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.

After a five-game absence, Barnes did not miss a beat on Thursday. With a stat line that only lacked a blocked shot, the 20 points were the most in a game for the veteran forward since December 23, when he hit that number in a win over the Thunder. Barnes’ return meant less playing time for Carter Bryant, who finished with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in nine minutes.

While the foul shooting remains problematic, Fox’s overall stat line in Thursday’s defeat was one that most fantasy managers will take. He’s now recorded nine assists or more in four straight appearances, the Spurs’ guard’s most productive run in that category this season. Also, he’s scored at least 20 points in three straight and four of his last five.

After shooting 6-of-8 from three in a March 3 blowout of the 76ers, Vassell would shoot 5-of-21 from beyond the arc in the following four games. He snapped out of that slump on Thursday, knocking down four of his ten attempts. The overall stat line was solid, and Vassell has been a top-100 player since the All-Star break. He’ll look to finish Week 20 in a high note when the Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday.

Castle had an excellent night, albeit in a losing effort. The second-year guard picked up the slack on a night when the Spurs didn’t have Victor Wembanyama (ankle), recording his third career triple-double. Just as positive for fantasy managers is that Castle continues to take better care of the basketball. Counting Thursday, he’s recorded two assists or fewer in seven of his last eight appearances. The Spurs host the Hornets on Saturday in what could be another high-scoring affair.

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.

The turnovers were rough, but this was a dominant outing from Wemby. He matched his career high for three-pointers in a game while also having his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Wemby has been on a tear recently and has been the best player in nine-category leagues over the past two months. They only play two more games this week, with the next one coming against the Nuggets on Thursday in what should be an exciting matchup between two of the league’s best centers.

Over his last four games, he has averaged 23.3 points, 7.8 assists, 2.0 triples and just 1.5 turnovers per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor. His impact has been limited by him shooting 42.9 percent from the free throw line during this stretch, though he has only taken a total of seven shots from the charity stripe. His free throw shooting has been rough since the All-Star break, though the volume has been too small for it to drastically limit his fantasy production.

After totaling 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field in his prior two games, Johnson recorded his first 20-point game since February 11 on Sunday. And given the limited value he provides outside of points and rebounds, Johnson’s category league value takes a significant hit when the scoring decreases.

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.
