Payton Pritchard

BOS Guard #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Payton Pritchard recorded three points (1-of-6 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets.

After totaling 56 points in the first two games of Boston’s four-game road trip, Pritchard’s production fell off considerably in the last two. Counting Tuesday’s win over the Suns, he produced 11 points on 3-of-19 shooting from the field. To say that Pritchard is likely looking forward to the Celtics getting back to Boston would be an understatement. Fantasy managers should not be too concerned, however, as Pritchard’s overall production this season has been solid.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Jaylen Brown tallied 23 points (7-of-21 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Brown last failed to score at least 20 points in a game on January 5, when he tallied 14 in a win over the Bulls. He kept the streak going on Wednesday, but the Celtics’ wing, and many of his teammates, looked a bit gassed in Denver. The Celtics ended their four-game road trip with a 3-1 record and will face the Nets at home on Friday. As long as he’s healthy, Brown should be in line for a big night.
Derrick White

BOS Guard #9

Derrick White accounted for 20 points (6-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets.

White has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games, the first time he’s done so since mid-December. However, looks can be deceiving. White scored 18 of his 20 points in the second quarter, shooting 6-of-7 from the field. White’s overall stat line was a good one, as has been the case on nights when he’s shot the ball even worse than he did in Denver. But things could have been even better for him in the final game of Boston’s road trip.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Jaylen Brown (knee) is not on the injury report against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Brown missed Tuesday’s win over the Suns, but he will return to take on Denver. Ron Harper Jr. started in place of Brown against Phoenix but will head back to the bench for Wednesday’s game, which will eliminate the streaming value he held.
Baylor Scheierman

BOS Guard #55

Baylor Scheierman accounted for 11 points (5-of-10 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

Just over two weeks removed from recording his first career double-double, Scheierman posted his second on Tuesday. Since moving into the starting lineup on February 8, the second-year guard has averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game. Scheierman’s production hasn’t been enough to get him on the radar of most fantasy leagues, but he’s played well enough to remain in the starting lineup.
Neemias Queta

BOS Center #88

Neemias Queta recorded 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

While Jaylen Brown’s MVP-level play is the biggest reason the Celtics have exceeded expectations thus far, Queta’s improvement has been nearly as significant. The Celtics’ center recorded his tenth double-double of the season in Tuesday’s victory while also tallying two blocked shots. Queta’s fantasy value has dropped outside the top-100 after an excellent start to the season, but he isn’t too far away from that threshold. Boston plays three more games in Week 18, starting with the final game of its road trip on Wednesday in Denver.
Sam Hauser

BOS Forward #30

Sam Hauser tallied 16 points (6-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Suns.

Hauser is most valuable to fantasy managers needing three-point production, and he’s made four triples in three of his last four appearances. Tuesday’s stat line included a bonus in the form of four assists, and he’s recorded 11 over his last three games. Hauser’s performance in Phoenix didn’t change much regarding his fantasy value moving forward, but the recent increase in assist production is a positive development.
Derrick White

BOS Guard #9

Derrick White finished Tuesday’s win over the Suns with 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, eight assists, one steal, three blocks and four three-pointers.

With Jaylen Brown unavailable due to injury, the Celtics needed a bit more from White offensively than they’ve received recently. Unsurprisingly, he answered the call, recording his first 20-point game since before the All-Star break while shooting 50 percent from the field. Of course, the improved scoring output didn’t prevent White from recording a complete stat line, which included four defensive contributions. Even when the shots aren’t falling, White remains one of the best guards to roster in category leagues.
Ron Harper

BOS Guard-Forward #13

Derrick White, Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., Sam Hausers and Neemias Queta will start Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

The Celtics won’t have Jaylen Brown for Tuesday’s game, as he is dealing with a right knee contusion. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Harper filling the void. At best, he’s worth a look in deeper redraft leagues.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Jaylen Brown (knee) is out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Suns.

Brown is dealing with a right knee contusion that will keep him sidelined for at least one contest. The Celtics play again on Wednesday when they face the Nuggets on the road, so it’s possible he’s getting the night off purely for maintenance on the front leg of a back-to-back set. Brown’s absence should mean more run for Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman, with Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard likely to see bumps in playing time, too.
