Sexton has scored 20 points or more in two straight and three of his last five appearances. However, he did not provide much value outside of points on Friday, shooting 1-of-4 from beyond the arc. Sexton scored while backcourt partner Isaiah Collier did the passing, as the rookie finished with three points, three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes. Sexton will be worth rostering as long as he’s available, but fantasy managers must be ready to pivot if that changes.

Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Filipowski has offered 11th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While that isn’t excellent fantasy value, the situation in Utah is such that the rookie big is one of the few players who can be relied upon. Filipowski has scored 13 points or more in four straight outings and has hit double figures in rebounds six times since February 28. The Jazz won’t play again during Week 21, but they have four games on the Week 22 schedule.

Walker Kessler did not play in Friday’s game, resulting in Tshiebwe making his first start as a pro. While the second-year center did not have the best night shooting-wise, going 2-of-5 from the field, he did reach double figures in rebounds for the fourth time this season. Depending on Kessler’s availability, Tshiebwe will have more opportunities before the season ends. However, he still isn’t worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

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.

George bounced back from two ugly games where he was a combined 2-of-15 from the field and combined for only 14 points. The 21-year-old point guard topped those numbers with 17 points on 11 shots Thursday against the Rockets. He also dished out eight assists and now has at least seven assists in three of his last four games. George, who is shooting just under 40 percent from the field this year, is due for some ups and downs with his field-goal percentage as that part of his game still needs more work.

Sexton was hardly efficient on his 20 shots and was a -15 in 32 minutes in the Jazz’ 11-point loss. The 26-year-old shooting guard has been mostly quiet in March, averaging 17.4 points per game and with one 30-point effort against the Celtics on March 21. Sexton’s fantasy value is mostly tied to his status as a starter for Utah. It’s a fairly unexciting profile otherwise.

Clarkson has dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot for much of this season, most recently missing Utah’s March 25 loss to the Grizzlies. The Jazz announced Thursday that he underwent a medical procedure to address the issue and will not play again this season. Utah was already taking steps to ensure its younger players would get all the playing time they need to develop, so Clarkson being ruled out does not change much. Brice Sensabaugh and Cody Williams won’t lack playing time the rest of the way, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

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.

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

With the Celtics playing Sunday’s game without three starters, Tatum would have to shoulder a heavier workload in Portland.
