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. |

Justin Turpin
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. |

Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 10:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Tatum did not play in Thursday's loss to the Spurs, as he was held out for injury management reasons. His return will push Baylor Scheierman back to the bench. |

Baylor Scheierman Baylor Scheierman adds 11 points, three triples
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 7:07 PM
Baylor Scheierman had 11 points (4-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in the loss to the Thunder on Thursday.
Analysis: Scheierman played his role well on Thursday as a three-point specialist. In the start, he drained at least three three-pointers for the eighth time during his sophomore campaign and tallied his fourth double-digit scoring outing of March. He was also one of Boston's better rebounders and facilitators in the loss. While he may not have a ton of value across fantasy leagues, he's proven to be a consistent part of the Celtics' nightly rotation. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard logs 14 points in loss to Thunder
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 6:55 PM
Payton Pritchard added 14 points (6-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc. The subpar shooting efficiency led to a relatively unspectacular scoring performance in the loss, on a night when the Celtics desperately needed offensive production. Pritchard also didn't provide much as a facilitator, and didn't come away with any stocks. Fantasy managers will hope for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against the Wizards. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown drops 34/6/7/2/1 line in loss to OKC
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 6:48 PM
Jaylen Brown tallied 34 points (10-of-25 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in the loss to the Thunder on Thursday.
Analysis: In his first appearance after being ejected from Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Brown logged perhaps his best stat line of March. In the loss, he hit the 30-point mark for the first time since February 22, which was also the last time before Thursday that he got up at least 25 shot attempts. Brown's aggressiveness was needed while playing without Jayson Tatum against a very tough Thunder defense. He did commit six turnovers and shot somewhat inefficiently, but was otherwise productive. |

Payton Pritchard BOS starts Pritchard, Baylor, Brown, Hauser, Queta
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 3:10 PM
NBA Lineups
Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Neemis Queta will start Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: The Celtics are without Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for Thursday's game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pritchard and Scheierman are the replacements. While the former is already rostered in most fantasy leagues, the latter is worth picking up in 12-team formats if he's on the waiver wire. |

Derrick White Derrick White (knee) downgraded to out vs. OKC
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 2:28 PM
Keith Smith
Derrick White (downgraded) is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Initially questionable, White is officially out for Thursday's game. Baylor Scheierman is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, while Payton Pritchard's playing time may increase, even if he comes off the bench. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard (neck) will play Thursday vs OKC
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 7:57 AM
Payton Pritchard (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Pritchard misses Tuesday's game against the Spurs but was listed as probable for this contest against the Thunder, so he always seemed likely to play. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) ruled out on Thursday, Pritchard should return to a sizable role as the first man off the bench. |
|
Jayson Tatum Tatum (Achilles maintenance) will not play vs OKC
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 7:56 AM
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: The Celtics continue to play the long game with their star, and rightfully so. While this is a big game against a good team, the playoffs are much bigger, and the Celtics want to be sure that Tatum is as healthy as possible when that time comes. Payton Pritchard (neck) will play on Thursday after missing Tuesday's game against the Spurs, so he will step back into a bigger role. |

Derrick White Derrick White (knee) questionable vs. Thunder
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 2:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Derrick White (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: White, who dropped 34 points in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs, is dealing with a right knee contusion. If he's unable to play, that may open the door for Baylor Scheierman to move back into the starting lineup. Scheierman could even start if White does play, as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is also questionable. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum (Achilles) questionable vs. OKC
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 1:56 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: While Thursday's game is not part of a back-to-back, the Celtics aren't going to put too much on Tatum's shoulders as he continues his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has logged 27 minutes in each of his three games and is likely to hover around that number for the foreseeable future. |
|
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (neck) probable vs. Oklahoma City
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 1:51 PM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (neck) is probable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Pritchard is on track to play after sitting out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs with neck spasms. Ron Harper Jr. played 33 minutes off the bench, knocking down six three-pointers and scoring 22 points. His playing time will decrease with Pritchard back in the fold, but Harper may have earned another look with his showing against the Spurs. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum has 24 points on 24 shots in loss
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 5:15 PM
Jayson Tatum had 24 points (10-of-24 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Tatum has played 27 minutes in all three games since returning from an Achilles injury. The 28-year-old small forward continues to progress scoring 15, 20 and 24 points. Tatum wasn't particularly efficient with 24 points on 24 field goal attempts, but that's to be expected given all the time off he's had. The Celtics have two more games this week and there are enough off days that Tatum should be available for both. |

Derrick White Derrick White drops 34 points in loss to Spurs
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 5:11 PM
Derrick White had 34 points (11-of-22 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points. The 31-year-old point guard also had five rebounds, seven assists and a block on defense. White has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Celtics have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Thunder on Thursday. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown ejected after arguing no-call
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 3:11 PM
Jay King
Jaylen Brown has been ejected from Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Brown picked up two quick technical fouls for arguing a no-call that resulted in him turning the ball over. Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez should take on extra minutes in the second half in place of Brown. |
|
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (neck) out Tuesday vs. Spurs
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 8:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (neck) is out for Tuesday's matchup with the Spurs.
Analysis: Pritchard will miss just his second game of the season, and he'll leave some vacated minutes behind for Ron Harper Jr. and Jordan Walsh. Baylor Scheierman could also pick up some extra playing time against San Antonio. |
|
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard (neck) questionable vs. Spurs
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Payton Pritchard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Pritchard has landed on the Celtics' injury report due to neck spasms. If he's unable to play on Tuesday, there may be room on the back end of the rotation for Ron Harper Jr. or Jordan Walsh. Neither would be worth streaming in that role. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard gets hot in fourth vs. Cleveland
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 9:41 AM
Payton Pritchard posted 18 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Pritchard was at his best when the Celtics needed him most, shooting 3-of-3 from the field and scoring nine points in the fourth quarter to help hold off the Cavaliers. The final line featured quality production in points, asssits and percentages, an unsurprising development for the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year. |
