Luka Garza BOS starts, Pritchard, White, Brown, Walsh, Garza
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 10:37 AM
Justin Turpin
Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jordan Walsh and Luka Garza will start Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: The Celtics are without Neemias Queta for Wednesday's game, as he sprained his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Magic. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Garza, who may be the post player most capable of dealing with the Pistons' physical frontcourt among the options available to head coach Joe Mazzulla. That's the lone change to the starting lineup. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) out Wednesday vs. Detroit
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:21 AM
Zack Cox
Neemias Queta (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Queta sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Magic and did not return. His absence gave John Minott and Chris Boucher more minutes, but Wednesday's matchup may lead to additional playing time for Luka Garza or Xavier Tillman. Of the four, Minott offers the highest fantasy ceiling. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) doesn't return after injury
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:37 PM
Jay King
Neemias Queta (ankle) finished Sunday's win over the Magic with six points (3-of-3 FGs) and two rebounds.
Analysis: Queta sprained his ankle during the first quarter of Sunday's game. While the Celtics announced at halftime that he was questionable to return, the 7-footer never did. To account for his absence, Boston went small for extended periods, with Josh Minott (16/7/1/0/1 with two three-pointers) and Chris Boucher (1/1/1/1/1) being the only interior reserves to play rotation minutes. Boston is off until Wednesday, when it kicks off a three-game Week 6 with a home game against the red-hot Pistons. |

Jaylen Brown Brown erupts for 35 points in win over Magic
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 2:30 PM
Jaylen Brown amassed 35 points (14-of-26 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes on Sunday, leading the Celtics to a 138-129 win over the Magic.
Analysis: Brown eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the eighth time this season, pouring in 21 of them after halftime as Boston shot over 60 percent and hung a season-high 138 points on a depleted Orlando squad playing the back end of a back-to-back. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone buried a pair of threes and added two late layups to fend off a surprising late push from Orlando's second unit. The Celtics led by as many as 26 before the Magic trimmed it all the way down to six in the final minute. The Celtics are off until Wednesday when they kick off a three-game week against the Pistons before facing the powerhouse Timberwolves and Cavaliers. |

Anfernee Simons Simons scores 23 off the bench in win over Magic
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 2:28 PM
Anfernee Simons poured in 23 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Simons knocked down eight of 11 attempts from the floor, including four of seven from three-point range, eclipsing 20 points off the bench for the second straight contest after playing a season-high 33 minutes during Friday's loss to the Nets. He's been a source of instant offense off Boston's bench this season but his defensive shortcomings have kept his minutes in check. |

Josh Minott Minott supplies 16 points, seven boards in victory
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 2:26 PM
Josh Minott chipped in 16 points (7-of-8 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Minott has provided a certifiable spark for the Celtics this season as his combination of size and athleticism makes him an ideal role player during the club's transitional phase. The 22-year-old was back in double figures for just the eighth time this season as he knocked down a pair of three pointers and also racked up seven boards in less than 20 minutes off the bench. |

Jaylen Brown Brown finishes with 26 points in loss to Nets
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 8:04 PM
Jaylen Brown tallied 26 points (9-of-18 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Brown eclipsed the 25-point plateau for the third consecutive contest and 11th time in 16 games to open the season, but he got into foul trouble in the second half which extinguished any chance Boston had to make this one competitive. The 29-year-old offensive catalyst was forced to the bench with just over five minutes left in the third quarter after picking up his fifth foul and Brooklyn immediately ripped off a 21-9 run to take a 15-point lead into the final stanza. Brown will continue to run Boston's offense, but he's going to need some help from his supporting cast if they're going to have any shot at making the playoffs. |

Anfernee Simons Simons drops 23 points in Friday's loss to Nets
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 8:01 PM
Anfernee Simons amassed 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: It's abundantly clear that Simons' issues on the defensive end of the floor have directly led to Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla being sporadic with his minutes during his Boston debut. However, he topped the 30-minute mark for the first time since late October in this one and wound up scoring 13 points in the second half to make this one a bit closer at the finish line. It's a frustrating situation for fantasy managers since he's clearly their best scoring threat at the moment outside of Jaylen Brown with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard struggling to get going this season. |

Neemias Queta Queta records 16 points, 12 rebounds in loss
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 8:00 PM
Neemias Queta posted a double-double with 16 points (8-of-12 FGs), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes in Friday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Queta continues to show subtle but meaningful growth on the offensive end, looking more confident as a finisher around the rim and showing noticeably improved burst when rolling to the basket off screens. The 26-year-old can be a bit overmatched in a starting role against elite interior bigs, but he's handled the expanded workload well and has become a useful stopgap for Boston during this transitional stretch. |

Derrick White Derrick White records 15/5/5/2/2 line vs. Brooklyn
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 4:07 PM
Derrick White amassed 15 points (6-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: White didn't have his best night shooting the basketball, as he continues to struggle in that regard. However, the all-around production is why he remains such a valuable player for category league managers. White recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday and has been a top-15 player over the past week. And he's shot 44.2 percent from the field, which aligns with his career number (44.1). The shots will fall at a higher clip eventually, and fantasy managers can still receive solid value from White as they wait for that to happen. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard hits five triples, scores 20
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 4:06 PM
Payton Pritchard accounted for 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: After a two-game stretch in which he totaled 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, Pritchard has scored at least 20 in three straight. During this three-game run, the Celtics guard has averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 6.0 three-pointers while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.9 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for top-20 value, so managers who may have panicked after that poor two-game stretch can calm down. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown scores game-high 29 points vs. BKN
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 4:06 PM
Jaylen Brown finished Tuesday's win over the Nets with 29 points (9-of-19 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Brown led all scorers with 29 points and shot a respectable percentage, but the turnovers were an issue. He committed a season-high eight, one more than his tally in an October 24 loss to the Knicks. Brown is averaging a career-worst 3.5 turnovers per game through 15 games, which is why he's barely hanging onto top-100 status in nine-cat formats. However, Brown has been more valuable by four rounds in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50, according to Basketball Monster. |

Jaylen Brown Brown erupts for 33 as Celtics hold off Clippers
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:28 PM
Jaylen Brown exploded for 33 points (14-of-33 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 38 minutes on Sunday to lift the Celtics to a 121-118 win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Brown capped his seventh 30-point outing in 14 games with a two-handed slam in the closing seconds, putting metaphorical cherry on a dominant all-around performance. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone poured in 16 points before halftime and finished with 17 more after the break, hoisting a season-high 33 shots in the process. He also grabbed double-digit boards for the first time this year to record his first double-double of the season. The Celtics open a three-game week with a home-and-home set against the rebuilding Nets before facing the Magic next weekend. |

Derrick White White records 22/7/9/2 line in win over Clippers
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:25 PM
Derrick White stuffed the stat sheet during Sunday's win over the Clippers with 22 points (7-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists and two blocks over 38 minutes.
Analysis: White helped Boston build a commanding lead early on with 15 points and seven rebounds in the opening half as the Celtics shot 49 percent (25-of-51) and 9-of-20 (45 percent) from three-point range during that span. He drilled a key three-pointer with just over one minute remaining and hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 ticks left to help Boston hold off a late rally from Los Angeles. The 31-year-old point guard has performed at a third-round level for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks through 14 contests. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard buries eight threes in win over Clippers
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:24 PM
Payton Pritchard amassed a season-high 30 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Pritchard knocked down eight of 13 three-point attempts, including four after halftime, to eclipse the 30-point mark for the first time this year. He calmly sank his first free throws of the evening with 1.6 seconds remaining to extend the lead to three and seal the victory. The 27-year-old guard has been inconsistent from deep this season, averaging 2.5 made threes per game after hitting 3.2 per game last year. He's averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 contests. |

Derrick White Derrick White posts 20/5/4/2/1 line against MEM
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:21 PM
Derrick White recorded 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: White was one of two Celtics players to score 20 or more points on Wednesday. His total likely could've been greater if not for a lopsided victory limiting him to only 26 minutes of game action. Nonetheless, he was efficient, productive from deep, and was involved in several areas throughout the game. White has now tallied four straight games with at least 16 points. He'll look to stay productive against the Clippers on Sunday. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown has 19/6/6 line in win over Grizzlies
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:49 PM
Jaylen Brown amassed 19 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Analysis: A blowout win limited the former Finals MVP to just 25 minutes of game action on Wednesday. Still, he was productive in his time on the floor, scoring efficiently from both inside and outside the arc while tallying more rebounds and assists than his season averages entering Wednesday's contest. He didn't record any stocks for the second straight game, but still had a fine night overall. A more competitive game on Sunday against the Clippers could lead to a more typical scoring performance from Brown. |
