The main knock on White this season has been a rough field goal percentage, but this was the third straight game he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor. He’s shooting 38.8 percent this season, which is a terrible mark, but it’s slowly getting better. He didn’t contribute many defensive stats in this game, but the career highs in assists, steals and blocks have allowed White to have an excellent season thus fatr.

Walsh has been an excellent defender as a starter for the Celtics, but the scoring hasn’t come consistently. However, during this four-game win streak, Walsh has scored in double figures three times, with this performance coming 24 hours after he had a career-best 22 points. Walsh has been an intriguing sleeper in dynasty leagues for a few years, and the former five-star is now contributing in redraft leagues. It may not continue at this rate, but he has been playing well.

After missing the first night of the Celtics’ back-to-back, Brown was back in the lineup for this game. The last game he played in was his 42-point performance against the Knicks, and he picked up right where he left off. This was his 12th time scoring at least 30 points this season, and he has at least 30 in five of his last six appearances. That was enough in this one for Boston to win its fourth straight game, which they’ll look to continue in Toronto on Sunday.

Brown returns to the Celtics’ starting lineup after missing Thursday’s win over the Wizards with an illness. He’s averaging career-bests in points (29.0) and assists (4.8) per game, and has been Boston’s best player in the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). With Brown back in the lineup, the Celtics will have a better chance of securing a fourth consecutive win.

After reaching double figures in 11 of his first 12 games this season, Simons has scored ten points or more in six of his last ten, including three straight. And the decrease in scoring has done significant damage to the guard’s fantasy value, as he does not produce much in other fantasy-relevant categories. Simons is ranked just outside the top-200 in eight-cat value, a significant departure from his production while in Portland. Fantasy managers have to hold out hope that he’ll turn things around eventually, but the role he currently holds isn’t great.

One of three Celtics to score at least 20 points on Thursday, Pritchard was also responsible for eight assists. Before the 146-101 blowout of the Wizards, he last reached that number in a November 23 win over the Magic. Pritchard’s scoring has not been as consistent as hoped recently, but he’s still averaging 18.4 points per game over the past two weeks. He’ll look to build on Thursday’s effort when the Celtics host the Lakers on Friday.

Walsh benefitted from Jaylen Brown’s absence on Thursday, producing the best offensive night of his NBA career. Not only did the former second-round pick notch a career-high point total, but this was his first 20-point game as a pro. Over the past two weeks, Walsh has been close to a top-100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While he hasn’t reached the point where he needs to be rostered in more than four percent of Yahoo! leagues, Walsh is trending in the right direction.

With Jaylen Brown (illness) out, the available Celtics had more opportunities to shine offensively against an overwhelmed opponent. White led the way, recording his first 30-point game of the season while also providing excellent value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Even better for the Celtics was that he only needed to play 29 minutes, as they host the Lakers on Friday.

This will be Brown’s first missed game of the season, and has been anticipated over the last couple of days. His absence will mean more shots from Payton Pritchard and Derrick White but also increased usage for guys like Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, and Sam Hauser.

Brown is expected to miss a game for the first time this season, which opens up a ton of minutes and shots. Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to start in place of Brown, though all four should see a boost in minutes.

White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard’s floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he’s providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Payton Pritchard (10/4/3/1 with one three-pointer) took a hit production-wise with White back in the lineup, but that was to be expected after his outstanding performance in Cleveland.

One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Brown dropped a season-high 42 points on Tuesday. Boston trailed by as much as 14 during the first quarter but, thanks in part to Brown, would lead by as many as 21 points before holding on for the win. Brown’s eight-cat fantasy value has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP, as he’s providing third-round value. The lone issue on Tuesday was the turnover count: Brown committed four, but the overall production compensated for it.

White and Queta are available after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. Their returns mean that Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman head back to the bench, but only Hauser is guaranteed to play rotation minutes. Boston’s other three starters are unchanged.

As expected, both players will take the court after sitting out Sunday on the second leg of Boston’s back-to-back set. White and Queta should handle their usual workloads with the starting five.

Queta missed Sunday’s game, which was the second of a back-to-back. That allowed Xavier Tillman to slide into the starting lineup, where he was relatively unproductive in 30 minutes of action. Tillman will be pushed to a reserve role with Queta back, which will eliminate the streaming value he held.

White did not play in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers, which was Boston’s second game in as many nights. His anticipated return on Tuesday would push Sam Hauser to the bench, leaving the veteran forward with little streaming value.

Pritchard stepped up to carry Boston on the second night of a back-to-back with Derrick White (calf) sidelined, eclipsing the lofty 40-point mark for the first time this season. He came out of the gate firing, scoring eight points in the first two minutes, and finished the half with a game-high 18 points. He finished 6-of-11 from beyond the arc and shot a blistering 68 percent overall. His biggest moment came in the final minute when he buried a turnaround jumper in the lane to give Boston a five-point cushion, later sealing the win with a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. The Celtics open a four-game week Tuesday against the Knicks before matchups with the Wizards, Lakers and Raptors.

Brown wasn’t as impactful from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back following a 41-point outburst during Saturday’s narrow loss to the Timberwolves, but he still found a way to make an all-around impact in this one. He deferred to a red-hot Payton Pritchard throughout the night and recorded the fourth triple-double of his career by stepping up as a rebounder and facilitator. He also got to the free throw line for a whopping 16 attempts. He’s delivered second-round value from a fantasy standpoint over the past three games, averaging 31 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and one block during that span.

Walsh saw a massive uptick in minutes with both Derrick White (calf) and Neemias Queta (ankle) sitting out the tail-end of a back-to-back and delivered the most impressive all-around performance of his career. He pulled down six offensive rebounds as part of a double-double effort while knocking down four of seven shots from the floor.

With Neemias Queta and Derrick White sidelined, Hauser and Tillman will slide into the starting lineup. Luka Garza started in place of Queta on Wednesday, but it will be Tillman that gets the nod for this game. Hauser should be a reliable source of three-pointers with the minutes boost.

White played through his calf injury Saturday, but he’ll sit out the second leg of the Celtics’ back-to-back set. White is presumably getting the night off for maintenance, and fantasy managers should pencil him in to return on Tuesday against the Knicks. With White on the sideline, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons should pick up additional minutes.

Queta returned to Boston’s lineup on Saturday and went off for 19 points, 18 boards and two swats. He’ll get Sunday off for the second leg of Boston’s back-to-back set, and the expectation is that he’ll return to action on Tuesday against the Knicks. With Queta sidelined, Luka Garza could draw a spot start against Cleveland.

Brown won the battle but lost the war. He was able to outscore Anthony Edwards 41-39, but the Celtics ended up coming up short on the scoreboard. Brown matched his season high for scoring, which allowed him to exceed 30 points for a third straight game. He also set a new career high for steals. This was arguably Brown’s best game of the season, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Cavaliers on Sunday, which will be the second night of a back-to-back.

Hauser hasn’t been able to provide much consistent value this season, but he has been solid lately, having hit four triples in two of his last three appearances. He started the first two games of the year but has been in a reserve role since then. Unless he gets the chance to start, he isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues, even if he has had a pair of strong performances recently.

Queta missed Wednesday’s game against Detroit, which allowed Luka Garza to start in his place. Garza only played five minutes off the bench in this one, while Queta logged 29 minutes. That was enough time for Queta to set a new career-high for rebounds. This was his fourth double-double this year, and in his first season as a full-time starter, Queta has been a top-100 player in nine-category scoring. He will continue to be a must-roster player for the rest of the season.

Queta is back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Pistons with a sprained ankle. His return means Luka Garza will head back to the bench. While he may remain in the rotation, Garza does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues. Boston’s other four starters are unchanged.

No surprise here as Queta was upgraded to a probable listing on the injury report earlier Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old center is set to return from a one-game absence with an ankle injury. Queta’s return will send Luka Garza back to the bench.

Brown hasn’t missed a game all season and that streak will continue Saturday. The 29-year-old small forward is set to play after being listed as questionable with a back injury. Brown is coming off a 33-point performance in Wednesday’s win over the Pistons.
