Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum records 34/8/9/1/1 line vs. Hornets
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:20 PM
Jayson Tatum accumulated a game-high 34 points (9-of-16 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), eight rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block in 29 minutes, leading the Celtics to a 119-80 blowout win over the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Simply put, Tatum loves playing in North Carolina. The 28-year-old franchise cornerstone reached the 30-point plateau with a nifty reverse layup midway through the third quarter as Boston continued pulling away, eventually opening up a near 40-point lead by the end of the third quarter. He put the finishing touch on his monster evening by knocking down his 11th free throw of the night in the final minute of the quarter, finishing just shy of a triple-double in a monster statsheet-stuffing effort. The lopsided score allowed him to sit out the fourth, otherwise he may have been in line for an even bigger performance. He's delivered top-30 fantasy value in the early stages of the season, recording four 30-point efforts in his first eight games. The Celtics close out the week with a road tilt against the Bucks on Sunday before kicking off a three-game week with road matchups against the 76ers and Raptors. |
Derrick White Derrick White drops 18 points in lopsided win
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 3:16 PM
Derrick White amassed 18 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes in a lopsided win over the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: White enjoyed his best shooting performance from beyond the arc in some time, connecting on 4-of-6 attempts after shooting just 29 percent from three-point range through his first eight games. He would've notched his second consecutive 20-point effort, but he was able to sit out most of the second half with Boston leading by nearly 40 points. The Celtics close out a four-game week with a road matchup against the Bucks, who White torched for a season-high 24 points earlier this week. |

Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 12:45 PM
NBA Lineups
Derrick White, Paul George, Jordan Walsh, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta will start Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Tatum is back after sitting out Wednesday's win over the Bucks, which pushes Sam Hauser to the bench. The other change is Walsh, who replaces Hugo González in the lineup. |
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (eye) available Fri vs. Hornets
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 7:27 AM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (eye) is available for Friday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Pritchard will play through an eye abrasion and likely handle his typical workload. If Pritchard faces any limitations, Mike Conley could pick up some extra playing time. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum (rest) good to go Friday vs. Hornets
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 10:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jayson Tatum (rest) is off the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Tatum played both legs of a Sunday-Monday back-to-back set and got Wednesday off for rest. He'll be back in action after that maintenance night and should handle his usual workload. |
|
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (eye) questionable vs. Charlotte
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 10:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (eye) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Friday.
Analysis: Pritchard has an eye abrasion that could prevent him from suiting up against Charlotte. Mike Conley would likely operate as the Celtics' backup point guard if Pritchard isn't available, though that will likely only be in a limited capacity. |
Sam Hauser Sam Hauser hits three triples in spot start
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:15 PM
Sam Hauser finished Wednesday's win over the Bucks with 11 points (4-of-11 FGs), two rebounds and three three-pointers.
Analysis: With Jayson Tatum (knee) out, Hauser made his first start of the season on Wednesday. Primarily a points and three-pointers option in category leagues, he shot 3-of-10 from beyond the arc against the Bucks and offered little else. Baylor Scheierman (9/11/1/1 with three three-pointers) came off the bench after starting Monday, and he remains a better streaming option than Hauser on nights when Tatum or Paul George sits. |
Neemias Queta Neemias Queta corrals 12 rebounds vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:12 PM
Neemias Queta produced nine points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Queta remained in the Celtics' starting lineup on Wednesday, logging 29 minutes and grabbing 12 rebounds. Mitchell Robinson (3/10/1/1/1), who began the season as the starting center, played 20 minutes, while Luka Garza (11/5/2/1 with three three-pointers) logged 18 minutes. Queta should be rostered in standard leagues, especially if he continues to start. However, the Celtics going three-deep at center does the trio no favors for fantasy value. |
Paul George Paul George hits five three-pointers vs. Bucks
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:09 PM
Paul George accumulated 25 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, four steals and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Back in the Celtics' lineup after sitting out Monday's loss to the Rockets, George played 35 minutes on Wednesday. The veteran forward wasn't particularly efficient, shooting poorly from the foul line and committing six turnovers. However, the points, assists, steals and three-pointers are areas from which managers rostering George benefited. |

Derrick White Derrick White posts 24 points, seven assists
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 4:07 PM
Derrick White amassed 24 points (7-of-18 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: White has gotten off to a slow start, as he began Wednesday averaging 11.1 points per game. With Jayson Tatum out, the Celtics guard had more room to attack offensively, and he took advantage. White shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc, which hurt his overall field-goal percentage, but he finished with a season-high point total and a complete stat line. The âbuy lowâ window may have closed with this performance. |

Sam Hauser BOS starts White, González, George, Hauser, Queta
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Lineups
Derrick White, Hugo González, Paul George, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: The Celtics are without Jayson Tatum for Wednesday's game, but George is back after missing Monday's loss to the Rockets. The other lineup change is Hauser, who will start for Baylor Scheierman. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (shoulder) available Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 12:08 PM
Payton Pritchard (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Pritchard was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but has since been ruled in for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. He's coming off a rough game where he was 0-of-7 from the field with four points in 30 minutes against the Rockets Monday. |
|
Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum (rest) ruled out vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:47 AM
Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum (rest) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Tatum will get the night off after playing on both Sunday and Monday. He hasn't shot the ball particularly well, so a rest night could do him some good. Paul George will be back after missing Monday's game, so the rest of the starting unit should remain the same, with George filling in for Tatum. |
|
Paul George Paul George (rest) removed from injury report
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 11:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (rest) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: George is back after sitting out Monday's loss to the Rockets, which was Boston's second game in as many days. If Jayson Tatum (rest) plays, Hugo González or Baylor Scheierman will head to the bench. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum (rest) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 11:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jayson Tatum (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Tatum played both games of the Celtics' recent back-to-back, logging 32 minutes in Monday's loss to the Rockets. Paul George is off the injury report after not playing in Houston, so he can slide into Tatum's spot if JT doesn't play. |
|
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (shoulder) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 11:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Pritchard most recently played 30 minutes off the bench in Monday's loss to the Rockets. If he can't play Wednesday, Mike Conley could slide into the back end of the Celtics' rotation, but that isn't guaranteed. Conley should not be rostered in redraft leagues. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta finishes with 16/6/1 stat line
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 5:16 PM
Neemias Queta recorded 16 points (6-of-7 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Despite Mitchell Robinson being available after sitting out Sunday's win over the Magic, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla stuck with Queta as his starting center. The points, rebounds and percentages were good, but those rostering Queta likely hoped to get some defensive production as well. Queta played 26 minutes to Robinson's 15, a promising development for those rostering the former if that minutes split holds. |
Luka Garza Luka Garza scores season-high 14 points vs. HOU
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 5:15 PM
Luka Garza produced 14 points (4-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one block and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: While Mitchell Robinson (four points, four rebounds) was available for Monday's game, Garza played 18 minutes after logging 21 in Sunday's win over the Magic. The Celtics' third center established new season highs in points and three-pointers. Garza isn't where he should be in redraft leagues, but that could change down the line, given Robinson's injury history. |
Baylor Scheierman Baylor Scheierman hits three triples vs. Houston
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 5:15 PM
Baylor Scheierman tallied 11 points (4-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Replacing Paul George (rest) in the starting lineup, Scheierman shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. The third-year guard finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line in a solid overall performance. That said, Scheierman is still a player who should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum leads Celtics with 19 points Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 5:14 PM
Jayson Tatum accounted for 19 points (5-of-16 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: With Paul George out, the Rockets focused even more of their defensive attention on Tatum on Monday. While he finished one assist shy of a double-double, the Celtics star committed five turnovers and shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. Tatum's fantasy value has been elite through Boston's first seven games, so managers don't need to worry about his performance against the Rockets. |
