Harper was initially listed as probable for Game 2, so his availability isn’t a surprise. The 26-year-old shooting guard only played the last four minutes of Game 1 due to a lopsided Celtics win. Despite his availability, Harper doesn’t figure to be much of a factor in this series.

Harper signed a two-year standard deal last week after playing on a two-way contract for most of the season. He hasn’t seen the floor much this season, but he played a significant role in Game 82 with Boston having already clinched the No. 2 seed in the East. Harper likely won’t see the floor outside of garbage time during the playoffs, but he was able to take advantage of his extended opportunity in this game.

With Charles Bassey’s second 10-day contract expiring, the Celtics needed to fill a 14th standard contract slot. They’ve reportedly decided to reward Harper, who has played rotation minutes at various points when the Celtics have been shorthanded. His signing does not affect fantasy basketball, as the Celtics are healthy on the perimeter.

Harper will be back following a one-game absence. Boston’s entire perimeter rotation will be available for this game, so Harper won’t see the floor much, if he checks in at all.

Harper missed Monday’s game against Atlanta, and he could be unavailable for a second straight game. However, with the rest of the rotation available, he won’t see the floor often if he is able to suit up.

The Celtics won’t have Jaylen Brown for Tuesday’s game, as he is dealing with a right knee contusion. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Harper filling the void. At best, he’s worth a look in deeper redraft leagues.

With Jaylen Brown out due to injury and Anfernee Simons traded, the Celtics called on Harper to move into the starting lineup. Making the first start of his four-year NBA career, Harper was effective as a scorer and rebounder while also taking on the assignment of guarding Kevin Durant for lengthy stretches. Wednesday’s game doesn’t affect his standing in redraft leagues, but Harper may have earned himself another opportunity the next time the Celtics are shorthanded.

The Celtics are without Jaylen Brown and Sam Hauser for Wednesday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. However, Payton Pritchard will remain in the bench role he held in Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks. Harper and Garza are the new starters, with the former making his first start in four NBA seasons. Of the two, Garza is the safer streaming option.

Harper Jr. landed a training camp deal with Boston in August, and his strong preseason play has earned him a spot on the team’s final 15-man roster. With Jayson Tatum out for most if not all of the year and Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis playing for new teams, Harper Jr. has a realistic chance to earn meaningful rotation minutes at some point this season.
