Derrick White
Derrick White scores 18, struggles with turnovers
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 5:07 PM
Derrick White recorded 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: In terms of shooting the basketball, White had a relatively efficient night at the office. However, he had the worst game of his NBA career from a turnover standpoint. White was responsible for eight, two more than his previous career-high and double his season-high. To put the eight turnovers in perspective, he totaled nine in his last six games. The good news for fantasy managers is that high-turnover nights aren't the norm for White, so there's no need to panic.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown records 20/8/5/4 line vs. Portland
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 5:07 PM
Jaylen Brown accounted for 20 points (8-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Monday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: While this current run doesn't compare with a stretch earlier this season of nine straight games with at least 30 points, Brown has scored at least 20 in each of his last ten appearances. That said, the steals production in Monday's victory was just as noteworthy. The four steals were one shy of his season-high and one less than his total in Boston's previous three games. Thanks to the consistent production, Brown has offered third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks.
Payton Pritchard
Payton Pritchard (finger) scores 23 points vs. POR
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 5:06 PM
Payton Pritchard (finger) tallied 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Pritchard had a good night at the office, but there was some concern during the fourth quarter after he appeared to jam his left pinky finger while attempting to corral a rebound. The good news is that he returned to the bench after a quick trip to the locker room and checked back in during the final minute to help put the game away. As for the production, Pritchard has now shot 12-of-25 from three over his last three appearances. With the limited defensive production, his fantasy ceiling isn't particularly high, but the Celtics' guard has offered a reliable floor.
Neemias Queta
BOS starts White, Pritchard, Brown, Hauser, Queta
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 1:43 PM
NBA Lineups
Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta will start Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Bulls, Queta is back in the starting lineup. With Luka Garza (ankle) unavailable, the Celtics may play their starting center more than usual. Amari Williams, who started on Saturday, could be in the rotation, but the rookie should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.
Chris Boucher
Chris Boucher (illness) out Monday vs. Portland
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:31 PM
Zack Cox
Chris Boucher (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: A late addition to the Celtics' injury report, Boucher is now officially out. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball.
Chris Boucher
Chris Boucher (illness) downgraded to questionable
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:07 PM
Taylor Snow
Chris Boucher (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Absent from the initial injury report for Monday, Boucher is now questionable to play. He hasn't appeared in a game since November 23, so the forward's availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Celtics' rotation.
Josh Minott
Josh Minott (ankle) available Monday vs. Portland
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:03 PM
Taylor Snow
Josh Minott (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Minott is available to make his first appearance in a game since January 3. However, his presence does not affect fantasy basketball, as Sam Hauser and Jordan Walsh are healthy.
Luka Garza
Luka Garza (illness) out Monday vs. Trail Blazers
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:03 PM
Zack Cox
Luka Garza (illness) will not play on Monday against the Trail Blazers
Analysis: Garza's absence on Monday will open up key frontcourt minutes off the bench. The fifth-year pro has been a key member of the Celtics' rotation and is enjoying a career-best season. His minutes could be dispersed to Amari Williams, Neemias Queta, and Josh Minott.
Neemias Queta
Neemias Queta (illness) available Monday vs. POR
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:01 PM
Taylor Snow
Neemias Queta (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Queta was initially questionable for Monday's game due to an illness that he's been dealing with over the last few games. With Luka Garza (ankle) out, the Celtics may turn to Amari Williams to serve as Queta's backup, but the starter should play enough to provide solid fantasy value.
Josh Minott
Josh Minott (ankle) questionable Monday vs. POR
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 11:00 AM
Justin Turpin
Josh Minott (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Minott has been out since January 3, and his absence has not affected fantasy basketball. While there may be room in the rotation for him, that isn't guaranteed with Sam Hauser and Jordan Walsh also in the mix.
Neemias Queta
Neemias Queta (illness) questionable Monday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 10:55 AM
Justin Turpin
Neemias Queta (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: It appeared the Celtics hoped to rest Queta for Saturday's loss to the Bulls, but he wound up playing 24 minutes, in part because Luka Garza tweaked his left ankle during the first half. Rookie Amari Williams started for Queta, but he only played ten minutes. If Queta can't play, Garza is more likely to benefit than Williams, regardless of who starts.
Jaylen Brown
Brown gouges Bulls for 33 points in loss
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 4:32 PM
Jaylen Brown accumulated a game-high 33 points (14-of-28 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 37 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: Chicago's decision to guard Brown one-on-one without help proved costly, as he torched them for 20 first-half points on an absurdly efficient 7-of-10 shooting from inside three-point range. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone's effort was even more impressive considering he played a whopping 46 minutes during Friday night's double-overtime win over the Nets and has been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. He saved his best for the final minute going coast-to-coast for a game-tying layup with 14.2 seconds left in regulation. The herculean effort wasn't enough for Boston as Chicago knocked down 21 three-pointers to squeak out a narrow win. The Celtics have a four-game week on tap that includes matchups against the Trail Blazers, Hawks, Kings and Bucks.
Anfernee Simons
Simons supplies 21 points off the bench in loss
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 4:30 PM
Anfernee Simons erupted for 21 points (8-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: Simons helped nearly spoil Derek Rose night in Chicago by doing his best impression, getting downhill and attacking the rim in addition to supplying his usual barrage of three-pointers. It was his first 20-point effort since going off for 39 points against the Heat back on January 15. The 26-year-old scoring machine contributed a strong all-around fantasy effort in this one, supplying a handful of rebounds, assists and steals. He remains a defensive liability but he's capable of scoring in bunches when he gets hot.
Neemias Queta
Neemias Queta (illness) available Saturday
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:18 PM
Noa Dalzell
Neemias Queta (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Queta is good to go for Saturday's game, which is the second in as many nights for the Celtics. He played 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Nets, though illness was a factor. Luka Garza may pick up a few additional minutes off the bench, but he isn't worth streaming since Queta is playing.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) available Saturday
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:13 PM
Noa Dalzell
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Brown is good to go after logging 46 minutes in Friday's double-overtime win over the Nets. With Derrick White (rest) back, Baylor Scheierman will head to the bench.
Derrick White
Derrick White (rest) absent from injury report
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:00 AM
Boston Celtics
Derrick White (rest) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: White did not play in Friday's double-overtime win over the Nets, with Baylor Scheierman playing 34 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. If Jaylen Brown (hamstring), who's listed as probable, can't play on Saturday, Scheierman could remain in the starting lineup.
Neemias Queta
Neemias Queta (illness) probable Saturday vs. CHI
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 7:57 AM
Boston Celtics
Neemias Queta (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Queta was questionable ahead of Friday's double-overtime win over the Nets, a game in which he was limited to 28 minutes. If he's either limited or can't play, Luka Garza would benefit the most from a playing time standpoint.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) probable Saturday
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 7:54 AM
Boston Celtics
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: After playing 46 of a possible 58 minutes in Friday's double-overtime win over the Nets, Brown is on track to play Saturday night. A lot can change between now and the 8 PM Eastern tip time, however, so fantasy managers need to keep an eye out for more injury updates. If Brown doesn't play, Baylor Scheierman may remain in the starting lineup for another game.
Payton Pritchard
Pritchard drops game-high 32 points in 2OT win
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:44 PM
Payton Pritchard led the Celtics with 32 points (13-of-24 FGs), five rebounds, four assists and six three-pointers in a 130-126 double overtime win over the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Pritchard has been inconsistent recently, but he was able to have a big night in this game. This was his highest-scoring game in over a month, and it was enough to help Boston get the win in double overtime. Pritchard has seen a bump in usage and production this year, and his efficiency has only dropped off slightly. He'll look to stay hot in Chicago on Saturday.
Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown puts up 27/10/12 line vs. Brooklyn
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:41 PM
Jaylen Brown recorded a triple-double on Friday with 27 points (9-of-27 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and four three-pointers against the Nets.
Analysis: Brown really struggled with his shot in this game, but he found other ways to make an impact and help Boston secure the win in double overtime. He fell short of scoring at least 30 points for a fourth straight game, but he was able to record his second triple-double of the season. Brown is enjoying the best scoring season of his career, but he has also stepped up as a playmaker. He'll continue to be dominant in fantasy basketball for the rest of the season, and he should be more efficient as a scorer moving forward.
