Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (illness) doubtful vs. Washington
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 9:57 AM
Jay King
Jaylen Brown (illness) is doubtful to play against the Wizards on Thursday.
Analysis: Brown is expected to miss a game for the first time this season, which opens up a ton of minutes and shots. Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to start in place of Brown, though all four should see a boost in minutes. |

Derrick White Derrick White hits four triples, scores 22 points
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 5:24 PM
Derrick White accounted for 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: White continues to provide consistent fantasy value. While he may not offer an extremely high ceiling, the veteran guard's floor is excellent. In nine-cat formats, he's providing third-round value, sitting just outside the top-30. Against the Knicks, White recorded a complete stat line after sitting out Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. Payton Pritchard (10/4/3/1 with one three-pointer) took a hit production-wise with White back in the lineup, but that was to be expected after his outstanding performance in Cleveland. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown torches Knicks for 42 points Tuesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 5:23 PM
Jaylen Brown finished Tuesday's win over the Knicks with 42 points (16-of-24 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: One game removed from recording his first triple-double of the season, Brown dropped a season-high 42 points on Tuesday. Boston trailed by as much as 14 during the first quarter but, thanks in part to Brown, would lead by as many as 21 points before holding on for the win. Brown's eight-cat fantasy value has aligned with his Yahoo! ADP, as he's providing third-round value. The lone issue on Tuesday was the turnover count: Brown committed four, but the overall production compensated for it. |

Derrick White BOS starts Pritchard, White, Brown, Walsh, Queta
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 1:41 PM
NBA Lineups
Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: White and Queta are available after sitting out Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. Their returns mean that Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman head back to the bench, but only Hauser is guaranteed to play rotation minutes. Boston's other three starters are unchanged. |

Derrick White Derrick White, Neemias Queta good to go Tuesday
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 8:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Derrick White (calf) and Neemias Queta (ankle) are available for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.
Analysis: As expected, both players will take the court after sitting out Sunday on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back set. White and Queta should handle their usual workloads with the starting five. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) probable vs. New York
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 10:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Neemias Queta (ankle) is probable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Queta missed Sunday's game, which was the second of a back-to-back. That allowed Xavier Tillman to slide into the starting lineup, where he was relatively unproductive in 30 minutes of action. Tillman will be pushed to a reserve role with Queta back, which will eliminate the streaming value he held. |

Derrick White Derrick White (calf) probable Tuesday vs. New York
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 10:34 AM
Zack Cox
Derrick White (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: White did not play in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers, which was Boston's second game in as many nights. His anticipated return on Tuesday would push Sam Hauser to the bench, leaving the veteran forward with little streaming value. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard goes off for 42 points to defeat Cavs
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 2:33 PM
Payton Pritchard exploded for a season-high 42 points (15-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes, leading the Celtics to a 117-115 victory over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Pritchard stepped up to carry Boston on the second night of a back-to-back with Derrick White (calf) sidelined, eclipsing the lofty 40-point mark for the first time this season. He came out of the gate firing, scoring eight points in the first two minutes, and finished the half with a game-high 18 points. He finished 6-of-11 from beyond the arc and shot a blistering 68 percent overall. His biggest moment came in the final minute when he buried a turnaround jumper in the lane to give Boston a five-point cushion, later sealing the win with a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. The Celtics open a four-game week Tuesday against the Knicks before matchups with the Wizards, Lakers and Raptors. |

Jaylen Brown Brown rips off triple-double in win over Cavs
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 2:31 PM
Jaylen Brown recorded an impressive triple-double with 19 points (3-of-13 FGs, 12-of-16 FTs), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Brown wasn't as impactful from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back following a 41-point outburst during Saturday's narrow loss to the Timberwolves, but he still found a way to make an all-around impact in this one. He deferred to a red-hot Payton Pritchard throughout the night and recorded the fourth triple-double of his career by stepping up as a rebounder and facilitator. He also got to the free throw line for a whopping 16 attempts. He's delivered second-round value from a fantasy standpoint over the past three games, averaging 31 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and one block during that span. |

Jordan Walsh Walsh posts 14/11/1/2/1 line in win over Cavs
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 2:29 PM
Jordan Walsh recorded 14 points (4-of-7 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over a season-high 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Walsh saw a massive uptick in minutes with both Derrick White (calf) and Neemias Queta (ankle) sitting out the tail-end of a back-to-back and delivered the most impressive all-around performance of his career. He pulled down six offensive rebounds as part of a double-double effort while knocking down four of seven shots from the floor. |

Xavier Tillman Sam Hauser, Xavier Tillman starting for Boston
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 11:49 AM
John Karalis
Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jordan Walsh and Xavier Tillman will start against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Neemias Queta and Derrick White sidelined, Hauser and Tillman will slide into the starting lineup. Luka Garza started in place of Queta on Wednesday, but it will be Tillman that gets the nod for this game. Hauser should be a reliable source of three-pointers with the minutes boost. |

Derrick White Derrick White (calf) sidelined Sunday vs. CLE
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 7:11 AM
Taylor Snow
Derrick White (calf) is out for Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: White played through his calf injury Saturday, but he'll sit out the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set. White is presumably getting the night off for maintenance, and fantasy managers should pencil him in to return on Tuesday against the Knicks. With White on the sideline, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons should pick up additional minutes. |
|
Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) ruled out Sunday vs. Cavs
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 7:05 AM
Taylor Snow
Neemias Queta (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Queta returned to Boston's lineup on Saturday and went off for 19 points, 18 boards and two swats. He'll get Sunday off for the second leg of Boston's back-to-back set, and the expectation is that he'll return to action on Tuesday against the Knicks. With Queta sidelined, Luka Garza could draw a spot start against Cleveland. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown drops 41, Celtics fall to Wolves
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:31 PM
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 41 points (17-of-32 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, five steals, one block and five three-pointers in a 119-115 loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Analysis: Brown won the battle but lost the war. He was able to outscore Anthony Edwards 41-39, but the Celtics ended up coming up short on the scoreboard. Brown matched his season high for scoring, which allowed him to exceed 30 points for a third straight game. He also set a new career high for steals. This was arguably Brown's best game of the season, and he'll look to stay hot against the Cavaliers on Sunday, which will be the second night of a back-to-back. |

Sam Hauser Sam Hauser chips in 14 points off bench
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:25 PM
Sam Hauser provided a boost off the bench with 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers on Saturday against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Hauser hasn't been able to provide much consistent value this season, but he has been solid lately, having hit four triples in two of his last three appearances. He started the first two games of the year but has been in a reserve role since then. Unless he gets the chance to start, he isn't worth rostering in standard leagues, even if he has had a pair of strong performances recently. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) tallies 19/18 line in return
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 2:23 PM
Neemias Queta returned to the lineup on Saturday and contributed 19 points (7-of-8 FGs), 18 rebounds and two blocks against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Queta missed Wednesday's game against Detroit, which allowed Luka Garza to start in his place. Garza only played five minutes off the bench in this one, while Queta logged 29 minutes. That was enough time for Queta to set a new career-high for rebounds. This was his fourth double-double this year, and in his first season as a full-time starter, Queta has been a top-100 player in nine-category scoring. He will continue to be a must-roster player for the rest of the season. |

Neemias Queta BOS starts Pritchard, White, Brown, Walsh, Queta
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 10:38 AM
Sean Grande
Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta will start Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Queta is back after missing Wednesday's win over the Pistons with a sprained ankle. His return means Luka Garza will head back to the bench. While he may remain in the rotation, Garza does not need to be rostered in redraft leagues. Boston's other four starters are unchanged. |
|
Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) available Saturday vs. MIN
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 9:57 AM
Neemias Queta (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: No surprise here as Queta was upgraded to a probable listing on the injury report earlier Saturday afternoon. The 26-year-old center is set to return from a one-game absence with an ankle injury. Queta's return will send Luka Garza back to the bench. |
|
Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown (back) available Saturday vs. MIN
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 9:54 AM
Jaylen Brown (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Brown hasn't missed a game all season and that streak will continue Saturday. The 29-year-old small forward is set to play after being listed as questionable with a back injury. Brown is coming off a 33-point performance in Wednesday's win over the Pistons. |
|
Neemias Queta Neemias Queta (ankle) now probable Saturday
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 8:18 AM
Neemias Queta (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Queta has been upgraded from questionable to probable against the Timberwolves on Saturday. The 26-year-old center missed Wednesday's game against the Pistons with the injury. He figures to return to the starting lineup Saturday given his probable listing. |
