Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard records 18/5/3 line vs. Utah
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 5:44 PM
Payton Pritchard finished with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers against the Jazz on Monday.
Analysis: Pritchard was expected to pop this season as a starter, and while he has been able to occupy that role, he hasn't been as productive as many hoped. Last season, he averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game, but this was the first game this year that he hit more than two shots from deep. Pritchard will continue to play a large role on offense for the Celtics, and hopefully this was a performance that will get him going from beyond the arc. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown drops 36 points in loss to Utah
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 5:41 PM
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 36 points (13-of-28 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in a 105-103 loss to the Jazz on Monday.
Analysis: This was a solid response from Brown after he was held to just 12 points in Boston's last game, which came after two straight 30-point outings. However, this was the second straight game that he didn't get a three-pointer to fall, and he missed all nine attempts in this one. Brown will continue to be the primary scoring option for Boston, and he has a favorable matchup in their next game against the Wizards on Wednesday. |

Sam Hauser Sam Hauser starts second half against Jazz
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 5:35 PM
Sam Hauser started the second half on Monday but contributed just four points (1-of-8 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Jazz.
Analysis: Hauser replaced Josh Minott to start the second half of this game, but that didn't lead to a good performance from either player. Hauser played 28 minutes to Minott's 15, and it's worth keeping an eye on to see if this is a move that will carry over into the Celtics' game against the Wizards on Wednesday, or if this was just a result of Minott being in foul trouble again. Hauser is a good source of three-pointers, but Minott is a superior option in most other categories. |

Josh Minott Minott chips in 10 points, six boards in defeat
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 5:20 PM
Josh Minott contributed 10 points (3-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: 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. |

Baylor Scheierman Scheierman drills four treys in blowout loss
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 5:16 PM
Baylor Scheierman delivered 17 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 22 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Scheierman saw extended run in the second half with the Celtics getting blown out on the second night of a back-to-back. He made the most of the opportunity, hitting 6-of-7 shots ??" including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Performances like this can only help his chances of carving out a more consistent role in Boston's rotation. |

Derrick White Derrick White, Payton Pritchard available Saturday
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 1:09 PM
Jack Simone
Derrick White (neck) and Payton Pritchard (ankle) are available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: White and Pritchard were initially probable for Saturday's game, the Celtics' second in as many nights. They'll occupy their usual places in the starting lineup without restriction. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard (ankle), White (neck) probable Saturday
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 7:03 AM
Payton Pritchard (ankle) and Derrick White (neck) are probable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Both players scored 15 points in the Celtics' one-point win over the 76ers on Friday night. Pritchard and White are both probable with various injuries on the second night of a back-to-back against the Rockets. It's likely both of them suit up given their probable injury designations. Anfernee Simons would be counted on for even more scoring if either Pritchard or White is ultimately ruled out. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard's three-point shot off again Friday
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:11 PM
Payton Pritchard had 15 points (7-of-17 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the 76ers on Friday.
Analysis: Pritchard shot 40.7 percent from behind the three-point line last year, but entering play Friday he was at 18.9 percent this year. The 27-year-old point guard proceeded to go 1-of-9 from three-point land against the 76ers on Friday. Pritchard obviously has an opportunity for more usage with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out this year, but it might not matter if he can't find his three-point jump shot. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons has 19 points in win over 76ers
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:00 PM
Anfernee Simons had 19 points (7-of-21 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers against the 76ers on Friday.
Analysis: Simons had 19 points in 29 minutes off the bench, but he could've had a lot more if he shot better than 33 percent from the field. The 26-year-old shooting guard had more attempts than anyone else wearing Celtic green, including Jaylen Brown, who had 32 points. Simons was truly a volume scorer against the 76ers on Friday, which is difficult for fantasy managers because he contribute much in the other categories. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown drops 32 points in win over 76ers
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 3:46 PM
Jaylen Brown had 32 points (13-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in the Celtics' 109-108 victory over the 76ers on Friday night.
Analysis: Brown continues to take on a bigger scoring role in the absence of Jayson Tatum. The 29-year-old shooting guard had 25 and 23 points in the Celtics' first two games, both of which they lost. Brown has now scored at least 30 points in three of the last four games and the Celtics have now won three of their last four games. On Friday, his 32 points were a game-high in the victory. The Celtics finish the week at home against the Rockets on Saturday. |

Baylor Scheierman Celtics exercise team option on Baylor Scheierman
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 6:18 AM
Michael Scotto
Celtics will exercise the third-year $2.74 million team option on Baylor Scheierman for the 2026-27 season.
Analysis: Scheierman was the 30th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He has appeared in four games for the Celtics this season, averaging only 8.5 minutes per game. His role may increase as the season goes on and the Celtics adapt to life without Jayson Tatum. For now, he remains off all fantasy radars. |

Sam Hauser Sam Hauser knocks down seven triples, scores 21
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 4:01 PM
Sam Hauser recorded 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and seven three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: While Boston won the second quarter by a 35-18 margin, Hauser's shooting late in the first quarter set the stage. The Celtics forward shot 5-of-6 from three in the second quarter, providing excellent value in the two categories he's expected to. Hauser remains an option for managers needing points and three-pointers, but he will offer minimal category-league value overall. |

Josh Minott Josh Minott grabs career-high 14 rebounds
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:58 PM
Josh Minott finished Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: 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. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta posts 10/13/3/2 line vs. Cleveland
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:53 PM
Neemias Queta tallied 10 points (3-of-5 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: For those skeptical about Queta's play at EuroBasket this summer carrying over into the regular season, he's performing quite well as the Celtics' starting center. He held his own against Cleveland's âtwin towers,â grabbing a season-high 13 rebounds and recording his second consecutive double-double. Rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queta is providing top-75 fantasy value, far exceeding the expectations of most fantasy managers. With the Celtics playing on Friday and Saturday, he's worthy of consideration in deep leagues. |

Derrick White Derrick White struggles but finishes with 19
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:50 PM
Derrick White shot 5-of-20 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, scoring 19 points with five rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Analysis: White struggled with his shot on Wednesday. He made just two of his eight two-point attempts and was 3-of-12 from three. The good news for fantasy managers is that White was perfect at the charity stripe while providing decent value in the rebound and assist categories. Given how well he's performed in recent years, fantasy managers should consider Wednesday's performance to be a blip on the radar for White. He'll look to bounce back when the Celtics visit the 76ers on Friday. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown scores game-high 30 points vs. Cavs
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:44 PM
Jaylen Brown tallied 30 points (12-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Brown showed no ill effects from his lingering hamstring injury. The Celtics star shot 60 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line, helping Boston take control of the game during the second quarter and never look back. Unfortunately for those who have Brown rostered, the Celtics have another back-to-back on the horizon, scheduled for Friday (at Philadelphia) and Saturday (vs. Houston). Brown hasn't missed a game yet this season, but the latter contest is worth watching since Friday's game will be nationally televised. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (hamstring) available Wednesday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 12:07 PM
Noa Dalzell
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Initially listed as probable due to a lingering hamstring issue, Brown will play Wednesday night. Look for him to assume his usual role as one of Boston's offensive focal points. Brown's availability for the weekend will be of interest for fantasy managers, as the Celtics end with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back. |

Jaylen Brown Brown (hamstring) probable Wednesday vs. Cleveland
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 10:26 AM
Bobby Krivitsky
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Brown, who has dealt with the hamstring issue since the preseason, was initially questionable for Monday's win over the Pelicans before playing 24 minutes in the blowout. The probable tag makes it likely that he'll play, but the Celtics end their Week 2 schedule with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the 76ers and Rockets. Given the congested nature of Boston's early-season schedule, those two games bear watching. |

Anfernee Simons Simons drops 25 points, Celtics pick up first win
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 4:55 PM
Anfernee Simons amassed a game-high 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and six three-pointers to lead the Celtics to a 122-90 blowout win over the Pelicans on Monday.
Analysis: Simons served as Boston's go-to-option during a fourth-quarter offensive surge that put the Pelicans away for good. He came off the bench to knock down six three-pointers, shooting nearly 50 percent from downtown to help the Celtics snap a three-game losing streak to open the season. The 26-year-old should have the green light all year in his Boston debut as they'll need to unleash a barrage of three pointers each night to have any chance of overcoming their size disadvantage on the glass. |

Jaylen Brown Brown nets just 15 points in victory over Pelicans
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 4:53 PM
Jaylen Brown was held to just 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer over 24 minutes in Monday's win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Brown came into this one questionable with a left hamstring strain that he's been playing through since the preseason after reaching the 40-point plateau for the 12th time in his career during Sunday's loss to the Pistons. The Celtics were able to lean on Anfernee Simons and a couple additional role players down the stretch as they pulled away for an easy win. |
