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. |

Jordan Walsh Jordan Walsh plays 24 minutes in win over Wizards
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 3:47 AM
Jordan Walsh contributed seven points, seven rebounds, two steals and one assist in 24 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Walsh came into November as a forgotten man in Boston's rotation, playing just four total minutes in October. However, he played 19 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday and then was up to 24 minutes on Wednesday. These were not garbage-time minutes either, as Walsh checked into the game in the first quarter. He was a plus-27 on the night and received praise from head coach Joe Mazzulla after the game, so it's possible that Walsh could pick up extra minutes at the expense of Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman going forward. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons hits four triples, scores 18 pts
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 5:07 PM
Anfernee Simons recorded 18 points (7-of-16 FGs), two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: For the third time this season, Simons made at least four three-pointers in a game. Field-goal percentage and assists have been the issues for him thus far, with the Celtics guard shooting 41.2 percent and averaging a career-low 1.6 assists per game. By comparison, he's a career 43 percent shooter and averages 3.2 assists. Given the production, he probably should not be rostered in 87 percent of Yahoo! leagues. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta records 15/12/5/1/1 line vs. WAS
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 5:03 PM
Celtics Stats
Neemias Queta shot 7-of-7 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday's win over the Wizards, tallying 15 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Jaylen Brown wasn't the only Celtic to make history during Wednesday's rout of the Wizards. Queta became the first player in franchise history to record at least 15 points, 10 rebounds and five assists while not missing a shot from the field in a game. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. What may be holding that percentage down is the playing time, as Queta has not surpassed 26 minutes in any game. He'll be far more popular among fantasy managers if the minutes increase. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown scores 35 points in 26 minutes
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:59 PM
NBA
Jaylen Brown amassed 35 points (13-of-21 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Only one of Boston's five starters, Josh Minott, surpassed 30 minutes on Wednesday. Brown only played 26 and was outstanding, shooting well over 50 percent from the field. And he made some history, becoming the first player in Celtics history to record at least 35 points, five rebounds and five assists in less than 30 minutes of play. Brown did not play at all during the fourth quarter, getting some valuable rest ahead of Friday's game against the Magic. |

Josh Minott Josh Minott scores career-high 21 points vs. WAS
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:51 PM
Josh Minott accumulated 21 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: While Minott can still have bouts of inconsistency, he's developing into a player who should be considered in more fantasy leagues. Wednesday's performance was his best, with the forward notching a career-high point total and three steals. Minott is rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and, understandably, some are hesitant to buy into him fully. But the potential to have nights like Wednesday may entice some to roll the dice on him. |

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. |
