NBA Injury Report
Chris Boucher (personal) is questionable to play against the Kings on Thursday.
Analysis: Boucher has been out since Christmas Day due to personal reasons but could return to take on Sacramento. However, when available, Boucher hasn't been part of the rotation in Boston, so his return won't alter the minutes allocation. |

Anfernee Simons Anfernee Simons chips in 20/5/4 line off bench
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 5:46 PM
Anfernee Simons provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (6-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Analysis: This was just Simons' fifth 20-point game of the season, which comes one year after he averaged nearly 20 points per game. Simons has been disappointing this year after Boston acquired him in the offseason. He hasn't been as effective as a scorer as he had been in Portland. This was a fun performance for him, but he hasn't been worthy of a roster spot in standard leagues this season. |

Derrick White Derrick White swats career-high seven shots
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 5:43 PM
Derrick White led the Celtics with 27 points (8-of-16 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, seven blocks and two three-pointers in a 129-119 win over the Jazz on Tuesday.
Analysis: Not only did White lead Boston in scoring in the win, but he made a tremendous impact on the defensive end. One of the best shot-blocking guards in recent history set a new career high for blocked shots in the win. Despite still shooting just below 40 percent over the course of the season, White now ranks inside the top-25 in nine-category leagues this year. He has been even better as of late and has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball over the past few weeks. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown records 23/6/10/2 line vs. Utah
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 5:37 PM
Jaylen Brown recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 23 points (9-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Jazz.
Analysis: Unfortunately, Brown's 30-point game streak came to an end. He would've broken Larry Bird's franchise record for most consecutive 30-point games, but instead he reached double-digit assists for the second time this season and helped the Celtics to a win. Brown is still having an incredible season even if the historic streak is no longer active. He'll look to stay hot in Sacramento on Thursday. |

Jaylen Brown Brown records ninth consecutive 30-point effort
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:34 PM
Jaylen Brown exploded for a game-high 37 points (14-of-24 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), seven rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Brown matched Larry Bird's franchise record with his ninth consecutive 30-point performance dating back to December 2. Boston had a chance to steal the game late, but Brown was involved in a couple turnovers in the closing moments that snuffed out the comeback bid. Even so, the 29-year-old ranks sixth in the league in scoring and has continued to thrive in Jayson Tatum's absence, delivering fourth-round fantasy value while averaging 29.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks through 29 games. The Celtics continue their West Coast swing this week with matchups against the Jazz, Kings and Clippers. |

Jaylen Brown Brown drops 30 points in blowout win over Pacers
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:35 PM
Jaylen Brown amassed a game-high 30 points (13-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes on Friday, powering the Celtics to a 140-122 victory over the Pacers.
Analysis: Brown spent most of the night carving Indiana's defense apart from the mid-range before finally stepping out late, drilling a pair of threes in the final six minutes to extend his 30-point streak to eight consecutive games since December 2. The 29-year-old offensive catalyst did a little bit of everything in a stat sheet-stuffing performance, chipping in three rebounds, four assists and four thefts as the Celtics defeated the Pacers for the second time in the past week. He's delivered top-40 overall value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks through 28 games. The Celtics have won nine of their last 11 games. They'll face the Trail Blazers on Sunday before continuing a West Coast road trip next week with showdowns against the Jazz, Kings and Clippers. |

Payton Pritchard Pritchard gets hot, finishes with 29 points in win
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:33 PM
Payton Pritchard accumulated 29 points (10-of-17 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Friday's blowout win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Pritchard poured in 14 points in the second quarter, fueling a 45-point outburst that sent Boston into halftime with a comfortable 75??"61 advantage. The 27-year-old's offensive game continues to evolve as he's continued to perfect his combination of step back three-pointers in addition to his ability to create space for easy shots in the paint on drives to the basket. He's produced third-round fantasy value over the past week, averaging a robust 25.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists and one steal over his last three games. |

Sam Hauser Hauser drills seven threes in win over Pacers
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:32 PM
Sam Hauser supplied a season-high 23 points (7-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) and two rebounds over 14 minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Hauser provided a much-needed spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 7-of-8 from three-point range to help the Celtics go from down double-digits in the second quarter to running the Pacers out of the building by halftime. The 28-year-old sharpshooter has been hot-and-cold for extended stretches this year with this seven-trey outburst showcasing his scoring upside against weaker defensive teams. |

Neemias Queta Queta chips in eight points, seven boards in win
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:32 PM
Neemias Queta chipped in eight points (2-of-4 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 20 minutes during Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Queta put together an impressive stretch in the opening stanza that featured a pair of blocks with a monster slam dunk sandwiched in the middle before adding in an off-balance finish on an alley-oop a couple minutes later. The 26-year-old big man represents a fringe fantasy option at this stage of his development but he's shown flashes of all-around potential if he continues improving on the offensive end of the floor. |

Jordan Walsh, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Neemias Queta will start vs. the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Walsh (illness) will return to the lineup, giving the Celtics their commonly used starting unit. Sam Hauser returns to the bench with Walsh available. The Celtics, now third in the Eastern Conference standings, have won three straight games and will look to extend that streak against the Pacers on Friday. |

Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 5:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jordan Walsh (illness) is available to play against the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Walsh was initially probable, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise. Josh Minott started in his place, but he'll likely return to the bench with Walsh back. Minott held value earlier this season, but as a reserve, he isn't worth rostering. |

Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 4:07 PM
Payton Pritchard had 11 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: Pritchard dropped 33 points in the win over the Raptors on Saturday, but his scoring came back down to earth against the Pacers on Monday. The 27-year-old point guard had 11 points and has now scored 12 or fewer points in four of his last five games. The Celtics have a rematch with the Pacers on Friday. |

Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 4:02 PM
Derrick White had 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one block and four three-pointers against the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: White had 33 points in Friday's win over the Heat, but has now scored 34 points over two games since then. The 31-year-old point guard contributes in the other categories as well, though. White is averaging 5.3 assists this month and also has seven blocks over his last four games. |

Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown drops 31 points in win over Pacers
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 3:58 PM
Jaylen Brown had 31 points (11-of-25 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in the Celtics' 103-95 victory over the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: Brown continued his streak of 30-point games Monday. The 29-year-old small forward now has at least 30 points in seven consecutive games and 10 of his last 11 games. Brown is clearly the Celtics' top scoring option with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined and remains a top fantasy option. |
