Derrick White Derrick White posts six rebounds, three steals
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:43 PM
Derrick White accounted for 15 points (6-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, three steals and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: White once again provided value in categories outside of field-goal percentage, as he finished with six rebounds and three steals. His shooting has improved recently, with the Celtics guard making 43.7 percent of his field-goal attempts over the past two weeks. Even on nights when his shots aren't falling, White provides excellent value, especially in category leagues, more often than not. The Celtics play three games in Week 22, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum records 16 points, 11 rebounds
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:43 PM
Jayson Tatum tallied 16 points (6-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Like Jaylen Brown, Tatum did not have a great night shooting the basketball, finishing 2-of-7 from beyond the arc. The good news for category league managers was that he was effective as a rebounder, and the two steals will also help. The Celtics are off until Wednesday; maybe the extra time off will help Tatum, as he's shooting just 37.5 percent from the field over the last week. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown scores game-high 29 points vs. MIN
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:42 PM
Jaylen Brown amassed 29 points (9-of-26 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: The good news for fantasy managers is that Brown put up a high point total. However, he was made to work for everything by the Timberwolves, and category league managers in tight battles may be in trouble based on the field-goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Brown has shot 44.4 percent from the field, more than three percentage points lower than his mark for the season of 47.7 percent. The Celtics play three games in Week 22, starting with the Timberwolves on Wednesday. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (quad) upgraded to available vs. MIN
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 12:47 PM
Boston Celtics
Jaylen Brown (quad) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Brown was initially probable for Sunday's game, so the status upgrade was expected. The Celtics will go with their usual starting five, with Baylor Scheierman missing out on a spot start. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (quad) probable vs. Minnesota

Jack Simone
Jaylen Brown (quad) is probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Brown is dealing with a left quad contusion, but the good news for the Celtics and for fantasy managers is that he's probable for Sunday's game. If he's unable to go, Baylor Scheierman is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. |

Luka Garza Luka Garza chips in with 22 points vs. Memphis
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:06 PM
Luka Garza tallied 22 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While he was not in the starting lineup for Friday's game, that did not stop Garza from having one of his most productive nights of the season. He played 27 minutes to starting center Neemias Queta's 18 against the Grizzlies, shooting 75 percent from the field. All that Garza's final line lacked was a blocked shot. He still isn't in a place where he needs to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but Garza may be worth a look on nights when the Celtics are playing lottery-bound teams. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta records 12 points, 11 rebounds
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:06 PM
Neemias Queta accounted for 12 points (4-of-4 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 1 rebounds and one assist in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Queta was on his way to a double-double by halftime, having recorded 10 points and seven rebounds in 11 minutes of action. The Celtics center would get his double-double in the second half, needing just 18 minutes to do so. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queta has been a top-100 player for most of the season, far exceeding the expectations of many fantasy managers. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown goes for game-high 30 points vs. MEM
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:06 PM
Jaylen Brown finished Friday's win over the Grizzlies with 30 points (10-of-23 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: On a night when Jayson Tatum (13 points, nine rebounds and two three-pointers) shot 3-of-15 from the field, Brown picked up the slack in Memphis. The Celtics' wing has scored at least 30 points in three straight and four of his last five games. Since the All-Star break, Brown has provided first-round value in eight-cat formats. The Celtics return home for their final game of Week 21, Sunday against the Timberwolves. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard posts 19 points, seven assists
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 3:36 PM
Payton Pritchard finished Wednesday's win over the Warriors with 19 points (8-of-16 FGs), seven assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Analysis: After ending his Week 20 with a four-point effort on 2-of-11 shooting in a March 14 win over the Wizards, Pritchard has recorded consecutive 19-point stat lines. He's made eight of 16 three-point attempts in Boston's first two games of Week 21 while also recording 13 assists. Had Pritchard not begun the season as a starter, he would be a candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, which he won last season. With Jayson Tatum back in the fold, the Celtics have the look of a team capable of playing deep into the spring. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum hits five triples, scores 24 points
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 3:32 PM
Jayson Tatum accounted for 24 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Tatum is getting more comfortable by the game, with Wednesday's effort being his fifth straight with at least 20 points. The Celtics' forward also recorded his third double-double since returning to the lineup, the second with at least 20 points scored. Boston has two more games in Week 21 without a back-to-back, which should bode well for Tatum's availability. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown goes for game-high 32 points vs. GSW
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 3:29 PM
Jaylen Brown notched 32 points (11-of-21 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Brown and the Celtics grabbed control of Wednesday's game early and never looked back, going on to win by a 120-99 final score. He recorded his 31st 30-point game of the season and did so while recording excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. The lone issue, at least for managers in nine-cat leagues, was the five turnovers. The Celtics play two more games in Week 21, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday. |

Derrick White Derrick White has 21/4/5 line in win over Suns
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 4:53 PM
Derrick White tallied 21 points (8-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Strong three-point shooting was the highlight of White's productive offensive performance. He sank a handful, which accounted for all but six of his total points on a night in which he finished as one of three Celtics with at least 20 points. The versatile combo guard also contributed well as a facilitator along the way to help Boston earn a second consecutive win. White's production hasn't altered much since Jayson Tatum's return to the lineup, which should put fantasy managers at ease during the fantasy playoffs. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum scores 21 points Monday vs. Phoenix
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 4:44 PM
Jayson Tatum amassed 21 points (8-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the win over the Suns on Monday.
Analysis: Tatum reached the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive game on Monday as he tied a season-high in minutes played. In the win, he also finished with his highest shooting percentage since making his season debut earlier in March. The subtle improvements could be seen as encouraging for those fantasy managers who have him rostered. While Tatum understandably isn't yet performing at his former All-NBA level this early in his return from the Achilles injury, he should be a productive option in fantasy playoffs. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown erupts for 41 points in win over Suns
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 4:37 PM
Jaylen Brown added 41 points (10-of-20 FGs, 19-of-21 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Brown went for more than 30 points for the second time in the past three games, using an 18-point fourth-quarter explosion to help lead Boston to victory. The one-time Finals MVP shot the ball efficiently throughout the night and got lots of scoring production from the free-throw line along the way. Brown also tied for team highs in rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots on the evening to land one of his better all-around performances of March. He'll look to stay hot on Wednesday against the Warriors. |

Derrick White Derrick White sinks three three-pointers vs. WAS
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 2:26 PM
Derrick White tallied 15 points (3-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: While he missed all three of his two-point attempts, White was a respectable 3-of-8 from beyond the arc. The Celtics' guard's percentages from two and from three have taken significant dips in comparison to his 2024-25 numbers, but he remains a highly valuable option in category leagues. Saturday's stat line showed why, as White recorded a full line in his 35 minutes on the floor. The Celtics play four games in Week 21, starting with the Suns on Monday. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta scores 22 first-half points vs. WAS
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 2:26 PM
Neemias Queta accounted for 24 points (11-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Queta was on a roll during the first half of Saturday's game, ripping off 22 points and six rebounds. While he didn't do a whole lot after halftime, fantasy managers will be fine with the final numbers. The 24 points were the most in a game for Queta since March 1, when he dropped 27 on the 76ers. With no Nikola Vu?evi? in the fold, the Celtics need to rely on Queta a bit more, which raises his fantasy ceiling if he can be consistently productive. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum plays season-high 32 minutes vs. WAS
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 2:26 PM
Jayson Tatum finished Saturday's win over the Wizards with 20 points (8-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday's loss to the Spurs, Tatum surpassed 30 minutes for the first time in his four appearances this season. Even better for fantasy managers, he recorded a new season-high in rebounds and matched his high in assists. The Celtics' four-game Week 21 does not include a back-to-back, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of an injury management night for Tatum at some point. That said, three games of Tatum still means excellent value for fantasy managers. |

Charles Bassey Report: Celtics to sign Charles Bassey to 10-day
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 11:01 AM
Michael Scotto
HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports that the Celtics plan to sign Charles Bassey to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: Bassey, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the 76ers in late January, is back in the NBA. He can give the Celtics a little more insurance in the post while the team awaits Nikola Vu?evi?'s return from a fractured finger. However, there's no need to consider adding Bassey in fantasy leagues. |

Derrick White (knee) and Baylor Scheierman (ankle) are available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: White and Scheierman are available after initially being listed as probable for Sunday's game. The former will resume his starting point guard duties, pushing Payton Pritchard to the bench. Scheierman, who logged 34 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Spurs, will come off the bench since Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is available. |

NBA Injury Report
Derrick White (knee) and Baylor Scheierman (ankle) are probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: While White was held out of Thursday's loss to the Spurs, Scheierman started for Jayson Tatum and played 34 minutes. If White returns, that would push Payton Pritchard to the bench. Scheierman will also be with the reserves, as Tatum is available. |
