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. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard tallies 24 pts, nine dimes Wed.
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:47 PM
Payton Pritchard amassed 24 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Pritchard bounced back from a couple of inefficient five-point performances by tallying his second-highest scoring total of the season. The veteran guard matched his season-high in threes during his 30 minutes of game action and came up just one assist shy of his third double-double this season. Pritchard had been playing very well during November up until the two previous games. With a strong showing against Memphis, he seems to be back on track. |

Jordan Walsh BOS starts Pritchard, White, Brown, Walsh, Queta
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 1:12 PM
Boston Celtics
Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta will start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: The Celtics have made just one change to their starting lineup, with Walsh replacing Josh Minott. While Minott had his moments this season, the inconsistency may have played a role in Joe Mazzulla's decision to give Walsh an opportunity to start. Both players are worth watching to see how the rotation shakes out. |

Jaylen Brown Brown paces Celtics with 24 points in loss to 76ers
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 5:55 PM
Jaylen Brown poured in a team-high 24 points (8-of-18 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), six rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Brown struggled to find his shot in the early stages of this one, going 1-of-7 from the field in the first half, but managed to get to the charity stripe for five free throws to salvage his scoring line. He came alive in the second half, sparking a 36-point third quarter for the Celtics, and finishing the second half with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. He drained a pair of free throws with 33.5 second left to tie the ballgame, but it was Derrick White that took the final shot for the Celtics as time expired. The 29-year-old superstar has enjoyed one of the highest usage rates in the entire league this season and is averaging nearly 28 points per-game through 12 contests, delivering eighth-round value for fantasy purposes. The Celtics are back in action on Wednesday night when they host the Grizzlies. |

Sam Hauser Sam Hauser (wrist) available vs. Philadelphia
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 7:25 AM
Noa Dalzell
Sam Hauser (wrist) is available to play against the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Hauser was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn't a surprise. Since starting the first two games of the season, Hauser has been in a reserve role, and his minutes have dwindled. Unless he gets the chance to start, he shouldn't be rostered. |

Sam Hauser Sam Hauser (wrist) probable Tuesday vs. PHI
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 10:47 AM
Taylor Snow
Sam Hauser (wrist) is probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Hauser is dealing with a sprained right wrist, a potentially problematic issue since he is a right-handed shooter. However, the probable tag suggests that this isn't a serious issue and that Hauser will play. His availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, especially with Josh Minott playing well as the starting power forward. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons drops five triples, scores 25 pts
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:44 PM
Anfernee Simons accounted for 25 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: For just the second time this season, Simons recorded a 20-point game, with the 25 matching his tally in an October 27 win over New Orleans. All due respect to the Pelicans, but putting up an efficient 25 points on the Magic is a different matter. Over his last three games, Simons is shooting 19-of-37 from the field, and as a result, his season percentage is approaching 44 percent. His overall fantasy value remains low, but this three-game stretch was much-needed for Simons as he looks to establish himself in Boston. The Celtics begin a three-game Week 4 in Philadelphia on Tuesday. |

Derrick White Derrick White finishes victory with 21 points
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:44 PM
Derrick White accounted for 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Regardless of how many points he scores, White consistently provides fantasy managers with excellent value. Sunday was his first game with at least 20 points since Boston's season opener against the 76ers, and he also provided solid value in assists, steals and three-pointers. White is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and history suggests he's capable of being even better as the season progresses. Boston plays three games during Week 4, but only one will be played after Wednesday. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown leads Celtics with 27 points Sunday
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:44 PM
Jaylen Brown tallied 27 points (10-of-24 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: While Brown's streak of 30-point games ended at three, he's scored 28 or more in six of his last seven. The Celtics wing has been a better option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat for most of his career, and that has been the case this season as well. While providing eighth-round value in the latter, Brown has been four rounds better in eight-cat. The key to closing the gap is turnovers, of which JB's averaging 3.6 per game. He had four on Sunday, which was the lone negative to his night. |

Xavier Tillman Xavier Tillman (personal) off injury report
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 10:23 AM
Boston Celtics
Xavier Tillman (personal) is not on the injury report against the Magic on Sunday.
Analysis: Tillman will be back after a one-game absence, which shouldn't have much of an impact on Boston's rotation. Tillman's role has been minimal this season. Neemias Queta will continue to start at center, with Luka Garza filling out most of the reserve minutes. |

Derrick White Derrick White dishes out 10 assists vs. Orlando
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 4:35 PM
Derrick White finished Friday's loss to the Magic with 16 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: White was one of three Celtics starters to score at least 16 points, and his 10 assists were a season-high for the guard. Unsurprisingly, he continues to provide excellent fantasy value, ranking within the top-50 in nine-cat formats. The hope for fantasy managers is that White can pick up the scoring, as he has not recorded a 20-point game since the season-opening loss to the 76ers. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard scores season-high 27 points
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 4:28 PM
Payton Pritchard accounted for 27 points (8-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Since going through a three-game stretch in which he shot 3-of-21 from beyond the arc, Pritchard has found his stroke. Making five of his eight attempts, the Celtics guard has gone 11-of-25 from deep over the last three games, scoring at least 18 points in each. Pritchard offers limited defensive value, making his three-point production that much more critical to his fantasy value. He and the Celtics will look to even the score when they face the Magic again on Sunday. |

Xavier Tillman Xavier Tillman (personal) ruled out vs. Orlando
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 10:13 AM
Shams Charania
Xavier Tillman (personal) has been ruled out against the Magic on Friday.
Analysis: Tillman won't be available, but he has played sparingly this season. His few minutes per game will be divided between Neemias Queta, Luka Garza and Chris Boucher, with Queta the only one playing enough to warrant a roster spot. |
