While Minott can still have bouts of inconsistency, he’s developing into a player who should be considered in more fantasy leagues. Wednesday’s performance was his best, with the forward notching a career-high point total and three steals. Minott is rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and, understandably, some are hesitant to buy into him fully. But the potential to have nights like Wednesday may entice some to roll the dice on him.

Minott continues to provide a spark in his Celtics debut as he’s found a way to contribute across the board for fantasy purposes. He’s been a bit streaky as a shooter, but he’s done a nice job chipping in from a defense and rebounding standpoint thanks to his athleticism and motor. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues as he’ll remain a key component of the new-look Celtics’ rotation moving forward. Boston begins a four-game week with favorable home matchups against the rebuilding Jazz and Wizards before heading to Orlando for back-to-back road contests.

After falling one rebound shy of a double-double in Monday’s win over the Pelicans, his first start as a Celtic, Minott was even better on the glass against Cleveland. Not only were his 14 rebounds a career-high, but this was also the second time in his career that Minott had reached double digits in that category (February 8, 2023, with the Timberwolves). Hugo González, who was replaced in the lineup by Minott, only played three minutes on Wednesday. Only rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Minott is providing top-50 fantasy value. That may not last for the entire season, but he’s worth a look in deep leagues with the move into the starting lineup.

Minott will get his first career start, replacing Hugo Gonzalez in the starting unit. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has had no problems switching up his starting unit early on this season, so while he may not remain in this role, Minott will get a good opportunity.

Minott had his team option declined by the Timberwolves only days ago. A second-round pick in 2022, the 22-year-old power forward averaged just 6.0 minutes per game for the Timberwolves last year. While he struggled to carve out a legitimate role last year, he showed flashes when he was afforded minutes. Minott could have a better chance to establish himself in Boston with the Celtics losing a good amount players in free agency and superstar Jayson Tatum likely to miss the entire regular season.

With both Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid serving their suspension for their involvement in the brawl with the Pistons, head coach Chris Finch turned to Minott for reserve minutes. The 22-year-old has struggled to carve out a role in Minnesota, but he took advantage of his opportunity on Tuesday. Minott isn’t a player to consider rostering in redraft leagues, but dynasty managers that have had him stashed for a long time have to be encouraged by this performance in limited minutes.
