Paul George Paul George (rest) out Monday vs. Rockets
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George (rest) is out for Monday's matchup with the Rockets.
Analysis: The Celtics are playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, and PG will sit this one out. Baylor Scheierman and Sam Hauser are candidates to replace him in the starting five, though neither player is an appealing streamer with all 30 teams in action. |
Neemias Queta Neemias Queta records nine rebounds, two blocks
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:10 PM
Neemias Queta produced eight points (4-of-9 FGs), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Mitchell Robinson (rest) did not play in the first game of Boston's road back-to-back, so Queta started at center. While he didn't offer much scoring, the 7-footer was effective on the glass and as a rim protector. On offense, the Celtics got solid contributions from Luka Garza, who finished with 10 points, two rebounds, one assist, and two three-pointers. Boston visits Houston on Monday, and Robinson should return to the starting lineup. |

Paul George Paul George hits dagger three, finishes with 17
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:10 PM
Paul George accounted for 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Quiet for most of the first three quarters, George came through when the Celtics needed him most on Sunday. He scored 10 of his 17 points in the final quarter, including three on a triple with 1:32 remaining that extended Boston's lead to 11. It's early, but George appears to be fitting in well with his new teammates. Boston plays four games next week, beginning with the Rockets on Monday. |
Derrick White Derrick White posts 12/2/2/2 line vs. Orlando
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:09 PM
Derrick White tallied 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: White took a back seat offensively on Sunday, but he did a little bit of everything to help the Celtics end their week with a victory. After shooting a career-worst 39.4 percent from the field last season, White is up to 47.4 percent through six games. His category-league value hasn't reached his ADP yet, but fantasy managers shouldn't worry. |
Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum scores game-high 32 points vs. ORL
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:09 PM
Jayson Tatum finished Sunday's win over the Magic with 32 points (8-of-19 FGs, 15-of-17 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Tatum didn't have his best day shooting the basketball, but his ability to get to the foul line paid off immensely. He made 15 of his 17 free-throw attempts, the second time in three games that the Celtics' forward has scored at least 15 points on free throws. Add in the assists and blocks, and this was a solid end to the week for those rostering Tatum. Boston plays four games next week, starting with the Rockets on Monday. |

Neemias Queta BOS starts White, Walsh, George, Tatum, Queta
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 8:49 AM
Bobby Krivitsky
Derrick White, Jordan Walsh, Paul George, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta will start Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Sunday's game is the first of two in as many days for the Celtics, who visit the Rockets on Monday. As a result, Mitchell Robinson (rest) will sit, and Queta will replace him in the starting lineup. Luka Garza should pick up additional minutes off the bench. |
Mitchell Robinson Mitchell Robinson (rest) downgraded to out Sunday
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 4:06 AM
Justin Turpin
Mitchell Robinson (rest) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Boston plays on Sunday and Monday, so Robinson sitting is not a major surprise. Neemias Queta is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, and Luka Garza's playing time is likely to increase. |

Mitchell Robinson Mitchell Robinson (rest) questionable Sunday vs. ORL
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 10:31 AM
Mitchell Robinson (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Robinson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic. If he's ultimately ruled out, Neemias Queta is a candidate to start and could be worth streaming. |

Paul George Paul George records eight assists, three steals
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:21 PM
Paul George finished Friday's win over the Bulls with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: While relatively quiet scoring-wise, George added value in other ways in the Celtics' 14-point victory. The eight assists were a season high, and he's up to 12 steals through five games. Given the amount of time George missed during his two seasons in Philadelphia, there's still some lingering concern about his availability. But he's looked pretty comfortable in Boston through the Celtics' first five games. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum records 26 points vs. Chicago
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:18 PM
Jayson Tatum amassed 26 points (9-of-20 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Tatum has scored 23 points or more in each of his last four games, rebounding well after a quiet outing in Boston's season opener. Against the Bulls, he scored 16 of his 26 points in the first half, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. Tatum cooled off after halftime, but it didn't matter much as Boston had already built up a large lead. He'll look to finish the week on a high when the Celtics face the Magic on Sunday. |
Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard goes off for game-high 30 points
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:15 PM
Payton Pritchard accumulated 30 points (9-of-17 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Given his performance in Boston's two comfortable wins over the Bulls this week, Pritchard clearly enjoys playing against them. After putting up 28 points on Monday, the Celtics guard came off the bench to record his first 30-point game of the season. Over five games, Pritchard has been inconsistent scoring-wise, alternating between double- and single-digit outputs. He'll look to buck that trend when the Celtics face the Magic on Sunday. |
Jordan Walsh Jordan Walsh scores season-high 15 points vs. Nets
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Jordan Walsh produced 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: In Boston's first three games, Walsh shot 4-of-12 from the field and scored nine points. He matched that total in the first half of Tuesday's overtime win, and his 15 points are his most in a game since February 11 (16 vs. Chicago). The Celtics don't look to him for much scoring, but there can be catch-and-shoot opportunities playing off of Jayson Tatum, Paul George and Derrick White. He took advantage against the Nets, shooting 3-of-5 from deep. |

Paul George Paul George records 20/7/7/2 line vs. Brooklyn
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:07 PM
Paul George finished Tuesday's win over the Nets with 20 points (8-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Having shot 11-of-29 from the field in Boston's last two games, George was more accurate on Tuesday. Add in the rebounds, assists, and steals, and this was a good night for those rostering him. Also of note was George's ability to play 36 minutes in the second game of a back-to-back. Hopefully, the inability to stay healthy the last two seasons doesn't carry over into 2026-27. So far, so good. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum caps 40-point night with game-winner
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 5:06 PM
NBA
Jayson Tatum accounted for 40 points (10-of-20 FGs, 18-of-22 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Nets.
Analysis: The Celtics' second game in as many nights was more dramatic than many expected, as they needed overtime and a Tatum pull-up at the buzzer to beat the Nets. He finished with an excellent stat line, shooting 50 percent from the field and committing no turnovers. Counting the postseason, this was Tatum's first 40-point game since Game 4 of the Celtics' 2025 second-round series against the Knicks (the game in which he was injured). |

Derrick White Derrick White (hip) upgraded to available Tuesday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 12:58 PM
Jack Simone
Derrick White (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: White was initially listed as probable for Tuesday's game, so the status upgrade was expected. He'll fill his usual spot in the Celtics' starting lineup. |

Paul George Paul George, Mitchell Robinson available Tuesday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 8:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George and Mitchell Robinson are not on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup with the Nets.
Analysis: Both players took the court on Monday, and both are on track to appear in both legs of a back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should still keep an eye on their statuses closer to tip-off to ensure neither are late scratches. |

Payton Pritchard Payton Pritchard drops 28 points, seven triples
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:11 PM
Payton Pritchard led the Celtics with 28 points (10-of-16 FGs), one rebound, four assists, two steals and seven three-pointers in a 134-99 win over the Bulls on Monday.
Analysis: Pritchard had a rough performance on Friday, where he was held to just four points on 1-of-5 FGs. He surpassed his total for points and three-pointers through their first two games in this game alone. Pritchard is more than capable of producing to this level, though it won't come consistently. However, he'll continue to play a significant role off the bench and see plenty of usage. |

Jayson Tatum Jayson Tatum puts up 23/7/6 line vs. Chicago
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:08 PM
Jayson Tatum lit up the Bulls with 23 points (7-of-17 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: After dropping 36 points on Friday, Tatum's scoring dipped a bit in this game. It was a slightly subpar shooting night, but he also didn't need to score as much. Boston led by 30 points at the end of the third quarter, and the lineup that dominated the third quarter didn't include Tatum, so he only played 28 minutes. They'll take on the Nets on Tuesday, which will be the second night of this back-to-back. Tatum should be in for a better outing. |

Paul George George, Robinson absent from injury report
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 10:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Paul George and Mitchell Robinson are not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Neither George nor Robinson has dealt with an injury at this early juncture in the season. However, their absences from the injury report are notable, as Monday's game is the first of two in as many nights for the Celtics. Boston hosts Brooklyn on Tuesday, and that may be a game in which George and/or Robinson get a night off for injury management reasons. |

Neemias Queta Neemias Queta records 15 points, three blocks
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 4:25 PM
Neemias Queta tallied 15 points (4-of-8 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: The Celtics' minutes split at center is worth tracking early in this season. Queta once again came off the bench on Friday, playing as many minutes (22) as starter Mitchell Robinson (four points, four rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot). Queta still had a good night, showing why fantasy managers should not give up on him. While he may not play starters' minutes, Queta can still offer value in a reserve role. |
