Jaylen Brown Ruled Out Thursday Against the Wizards

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) will not play on Thursday, as expected, after the team downgraded him from doubtful to out on Thursday before they visit Washington. Brown will have a chance to return Friday at home against the Lakers for the second half of the back-to-back, but in his absence, the Celtics will be great fantasy assets while picking up his workload. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard will carry more scoring work in the backcourt, while Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, Hugo Gonzalez, and Josh Minott will all help fill in at forward. Walsh has been especially impressive lately and is finding ways to make meaningful contributions, while Hauser always brings streak scoring upside.

Jaylen Brown Doubtful to Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. He will likely miss his first game of the season due to illness. A second absence might also be in store for Brown, as Boston has another game on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Brown leads the Celtics in scoring with 29.0 points per game, and his absence would open up a lot of offensive touches for other players on the team. Derrick White, Anfernee Simons, Sam Hauser, and Payton Pritchard will all have increased fantasy appeal if Brown sits on Thursday.

Neemias Queta Set to Return on Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) missed two of the last three games for the Celtics, but he's been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's game against the Knicks. Queta played 29 minutes on Saturday and posted an impressive 19 points with 18 rebounds and two blocks. The 26-year-old is averaging 9.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game and has started each of the 18 games he has played. With Queta's return, Xavier Tillman will most likely be relegated back to the bench after his spot start as a result.

Derrick White Will Play Tuesday Against New York

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (calf) was upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's rivalry game against the Knicks. White was originally listed as probable for the game after he sat out Sunday's game against the Cavs, which was the second game of a back-to-back for Boston. Sam Hauser started in his spot but will likely return to the bench on Tuesday. His efficiency has been shaky, but his counting stats remain strong. He's averaging 16.0 points per game, 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals. White will rejoin the Celtics' lineup, confirming that his Sunday absence was mostly just a precautionary absence.

Derrick White Likely Available Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (calf) is listed as probable on the injury report, indicating that he is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. White sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a calf issue. Sam Hauser got a start in White's place and is set to move back to the second unit for Tuesday's contest. White has posted some awful shooting numbers this season, but he is still averaging 16.0 points per game, only 0.4 points shy of his career high. Across 33.3 minutes of action, White has also notched 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals. He is having a career year on defense.

Neemias Queta Won't Play Against Cleveland

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Cavs. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation heading into Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he was in the lineup, finishing with 19 points, 18 rebounds, and two blocks. Queta will take the night off to rest before likely returning on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. As far as Sunday's game is concerned, the C's may play some small-ball. Luka Garza, Chris Boucher, and Xavier Tillman Sr. might also get involved, with one likely entering the starting lineup. Still, nobody from that trio can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint despite the upside.

Derrick White Ruled Out on Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the same issue, a right calf contusion. However, the 31-year-old was available for that one, finishing with 16 points, five assists, and two blocks. White's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks, with Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown in line to lead the way offensively on Sunday. Sam Hauser, who had 14 points and six rebounds on Saturday, might also find himself in the starting lineup, making him an attractive option for fantasy managers and DFS participants.

Neemias Queta Uncertain for Saturday's Game in Minnesota

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting in Minnesota. The 26-year-old has started in all 17 of his appearances during the 2025 campaign. As a result, he's having the best season of his career, averaging 9.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, making him a viable starting option in deeper fantasy setups. Queta wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons, opening the door for Luka Garza to enter the starting lineup. That will likely be the case again if Queta can't suit up. However, Garza didn't do much in his enhanced role on Friday, going scoreless in 11 minutes of work.

Derrick White Expected to Suit Up Versus Timberwolves

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (calf) is in line to play on Saturday in Minnesota. The 31-year-old has played as well as expected throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he hasn't benefited from the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). In fact, he's seen reduced production in several statistical categories. Still, White remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats, assuming he plays, despite the difficult matchup on tap. He could be even more productive if Jaylen Brown (back) can't suit up because of low back spasms.

Jaylen Brown Might Miss Saturday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (back) is questionable for Saturday's contest in Minnesota. The 29-year-old had 33 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and two blocks in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Brown has benefited from the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) by averaging a career-high 28.2 points during the 2025 campaign. He also hasn't missed a game. It doesn't sound as if the injury is too serious, although the team may give him the night off for precautionary purposes heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers, the second of back-to-back outings for the C's. If that happens, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Baylor Scheierman could see more scoring opportunities behind Derrick White (calf), assuming he plays, versus a challenging Timberwolves defense.

Neemias Queta Ruled Out For Wednesday's Contest

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta (ankle) is expected to miss Wednesday's matchup with Detroit, giving Boston's reserve bigs another chance to carve out minutes. Luka Garza has been the more productive option lately, averaging 9.6 points on 63.0 percent shooting across his last five outings, while Chris Boucher remains in the rotation despite minimal offensive output. Both are fringe fantasy options for now, and it remains unclear which one coach Joe Mazzulla will trust most with Queta sidelined.

Sam Hauser Will Be Available Tuesday Against the Sixers

Boston Celtics guard/forward Sam Hauser (wrist) will play through a sprained wrist after being upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday night's road game against Philadelphia. Hauser has averaged 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in his 23 minutes per game this season. He has chipped in 2.4 three-pointers per game, and still carries some value as a sharp-shooter, but he hasn't been able to step into a larger role this season for Boston, even with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) on the sidelines. The Celtics are on the front end of a back-to-back, so he could get Wednesday off, but at least for now, it looks like the injury is something he'll shake off and be good to play through for now.

Sam Hauser Probable Tuesday Versus Philadelphia

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (wrist) is listed as probable for Tuesday's in-season tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics already have a limited roster with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out and many great players from last season traded away. Hauser has been called upon in some big moments this season, but he's only playing one minute more than last season at 22.7 minutes per game. The 27-year-old averages 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for a team that needs currently help from everyone. Philadelphia allowing 118.5 points per game provides a nice fantasy matchup for Boston players with more team points expected. Hauser is likely going to play, but he'll have to get hot from three-point range to contribute strong from a fantasy perspective.

Payton Pritchard • PG • Celtics

Payton Pritchard Ready to Face Rockets

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (ankle) will be in the lineup on Saturday against the Houston Rockets. There was a little question mark hanging over Pritchard after he injured his left ankle on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers and was on the injury report with a probable designation. Pritchard has joined Boston's first unit this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. He's offered plenty of fantasy value, although there should be a lot more to come from Pritchard, as he's been shooting below 18 percent from downtown so far.

Derrick White Available Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) will play in Saturday's contest against the Houston Rockets. Following a 35-minute shift on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, White was placed on the injury report with a probable tag. However, the team has now upgraded him to available. White's shooting struggles continued on Friday night, as he went 6-for-16 from the field to finish with 15 points. For the season, White is shooting barely 32 percent from the field and has nailed only 25.4 percent of his three-point attempts. White's campaign has started poorly, but he has compensated for his shooting woes with strong contributions in other areas, averaging 3.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.5 steals.

Jaylen Brown Off the Injury Report

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's clash against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has carried a hamstring problem at the start of the season, but it appears as though Brown is now at 100 percent. The hamstring issue hasn't had any impact on Brown's performances, as he's averaging 26.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists for the season. In his last outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, Brown went for 30 points on 12-for-20 shooting, dropping four three-point bombs.

Jaylen Brown Listed as Probable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is considered probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown continues to nurse a hamstring problem that he picked up late in preseason. So far, the issue hasn't really affected Brown, as the Celtics leader has averaged 29.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 35.7 minutes. If Brown suffers a setback and can't play on Wednesday, players like Anfernee Simons and Sam Hauser may be more involved in the rotation. Meanwhile, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard would receive additional offensive usage.

Jaylen Brown Available Against Pelicans

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is available for Monday's meeting with the Pelicans. The 29-year-old has appeared on the injury report all season because of a hamstring issue. Fortunately, he hasn't missed a game. Brown has benefited without Jayson Tatum (Achilles) on the floor, averaging a career-high 29.7 points with 5.3 boards and 3.7 assists. He's also shot 50.0% from deep, which is also another career-high. Brown is always a must-start fantasy option, but his ceiling is even higher with a favorable matchup with New Orleans, a team that has allowed 124.0 points per contest, the sixth-worst mark in the National Basketball Association.

Jaylen Brown Questionable for Monday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Celtics could rest Brown on the second leg of their back-to-back to maintain his health as he continues recovering from the left hamstring tightness that surfaced in the preseason. Brown has been outstanding, averaging 29.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists despite the team's 0-3 start as they adjust to life without Jayson Tatum (Achilles). If Brown is ruled out, Sam Hauser could see an expanded role, having already started two games this season.

Jaylen Brown Cleared to Face Detroit

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The 29-year-old was listed as questionable. However, this isn't his first appearance on the injury report this season, and it likely won't be his last. Brown has averaged 24.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting an efficient 45.5% from downtown, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats. His presence will probably mean Anfernee Simons will come off the bench. With that said, the Celtics will play again on Monday night in New Orleans, so fantasy managers should monitor Brown's status, especially since there's a chance he won't play in the second of back-to-back outings.
