Ron Harper Jr. Probable for Game 2

Boston Celtics guard/forward Ron Harper Jr. (ankle) is on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, carrying a probable designation. The 26-year-old has injured his right ankle, but he is expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday night. That said, Harper Jr. saw only four minutes of garbage time in Boston's dominant 123-91 Game 1 victory, and it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't hit the court on Tuesday night, even if he's active. Payton Pritchard, Nikola Vucevic, and Baylor Scheierman will remain the primary contributors off the bench.

Jaylen Brown Scores 26 Points in Game 1 Victory

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 26 points with four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two three-pointers in 30 minutes during Sunday's win over Philadelphia. He took control in the second half, driving Boston's offense before sitting out the fourth quarter in a lopsided finish. Brown's efficient scoring and steady role next to Jayson Tatum give him a high DFS ceiling, especially in closer games. Tatum continues to share primary usage, while Derrick White handles secondary playmaking duties and remains a reliable floor spacer.

Jayson Tatum Posts Double-Double in Game 1 Win

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum recorded 25 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's Game 1 blowout win over Philadelphia. He set the tone early with a strong first quarter and controlled the game as a rebounder and facilitator, finishing just short of a triple-double. While his perimeter shot lagged at one make from deep, his all-around production remains elite for DFS. Tatum continues to anchor Boston's offense alongside Jaylen Brown, with Derrick White taking on added secondary playmaking responsibilities in the starting unit.

Sam Hauser Cleared to Play Friday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) will be in the lineup on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Initially, the team listed Hauser as probable after he played 31 minutes on Thursday against the Knicks. The 28-year-old had a quiet evening with six points, two rebounds, and three assists. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sitting out Friday's game, Hauser could be a bit more involved in the offense. This is an excellent matchup for a three-point specialist like him, as only Utah allows more three-point attempts per game than New Orleans.

Neemias Queta Ready to Take on Pelicans

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) will be active against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The Portuguese big man has been upgraded from probable to available. After tallying 10 points and 10 rebounds in Thursday's loss to New York, Queta has a chance to record a second consecutive double-double. He is averaging 15.0 points, 8.6 boards, 2.6 assists, and 2.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game in April.

Derrick White • SG • Celtics

Derrick White Good to Go Friday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) will play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Celtics will wrap up a back-to-back, and White was initially listed as probable for Friday's game. He struggled on Thursday night against the Knicks, finishing with only eight points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. White is in an excellent bounce-back spot on Friday, as the Pelicans won't have any of their big names in the lineup.

Jaylen Brown • SG • Celtics

Jaylen Brown Active on Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) will return to the lineup on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was initially listed as questionable for the game after sitting out Thursday's loss to the Knicks. Derrick White (knee), Sam Hauser (back), and Neemias Queta (toe) have also been cleared for Friday, so Boston will still have plenty of firepower, even with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) resting. Brown is having a brilliant finish to the season, averaging 32.5 points on 50.5 percent efficiency from the field this month.

Jayson Tatum • SF • Celtics

Jayson Tatum Won't Play Friday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. His absence was expected because Boston also played on Thursday night. In a game against the New York Knicks, Tatum had 24 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block in 40 minutes. The Celtics could also be without Jaylen Brown (Achilles), who is considered questionable. In this case, Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, and Hugo Gonzalez are candidates for increased roles. The absence of Tatum and Brown will also create a lot more offensive opportunities for the rest of the team.

Sam Hauser • SF • Celtics

Sam Hauser Available Against Knicks

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is available for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Lower-back spasms won't keep him out, as this will be his 26th consecutive appearance. Hauser has been a regular starter for Boston in 2026, averaging 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists since joining the first unit. The 28-year-old could see an increased role with Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sidelined tonight.

Neemias Queta • C • Celtics

Neemias Queta Good to Go on Thursday

According to Taylor Snow of the Boston Celtics' official site, center Neemias Queta (toe) will play against the New York Knicks on Thursday. Despite dealing with a toe sprain, the 26-year-old is set to suit up. Fortunately, Derrick White (knee) is also available after previously being listed as questionable, as Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is on the shelf. Queta has been on a strong run recently, averaging 16.3 points and 8.3 rebounds across 30.3 minutes per game over his last four outings.

Derrick White Cleared to Suit Up Against Knicks

According to Taylor Snow of the Boston Celtics' official site, guard Derrick White (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Despite dealing with a right knee contusion, he has been cleared to play tonight. The 31-year-old should be considered a strong fantasy option with an increased offensive role, especially with Jaylen Brown (Achilles) on the shelf.

Jaylen Brown Out Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) will miss Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back due to left Achilles tendinitis. Derrick White (knee) is also listed as questionable, meaning Boston could be without two of its top scorers. Jayson Tatum could be in line for an increased offensive workload as he returns to the arena where he tore his Achilles tendon last year. Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic could also take on expanded roles, especially if White is ultimately ruled out.

Sam Hauser Could Miss Thursday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He must overcome lower-back spasms to avoid his fourth absence of the season. Hauser has been a regular starter for Boston in 2026, averaging 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists since joining the first unit. Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, and Hugo Gonzalez may all benefit from Hauser's absence on Thursday. Boston's injury situation is definitely something to monitor, as every starter, except for Jayson Tatum, has found their way onto the injury report ahead of Thursday's game.

Neemias Queta • C • Celtics

Neemias Queta Uncertain for Thursday

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Celtics begin a back-to-back set and have listed four starters as questionable on the injury report. Queta is nursing a right toe sprain. If he can't play against the Knicks, Nikola Vucevic would move into the starting lineup. So far, Vucevic has started only one game for Boston, amassing 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one block in 26 minutes against Milwaukee on March 2. Luka Garza's playing time would also increase with Queta's absence.

Derrick White • SG • Celtics

Derrick White Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report before Thursday's big game against the New York Knicks. He is nursing a right knee contusion. The Celtics might head out with a very different starting lineup, as White is joined on the injury report by Jaylen Brown (Achilles), Sam Hauser (back), and Neemias Queta (toe). White's absence would open the door to the first unit for Payton Pritchard, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez might be more involved in the action. The Celtics also play on Friday against New Orleans, and there's a strong chance White will return to the lineup if he sits out Thursday's contest.

Jaylen Brown Iffy to Face Knicks

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is considered questionable for Thursday's showdown against the New York Knicks. Boston has listed him on the injury report with left Achilles tendinitis. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so the team might be considering giving Brown some rest late in the regular season. Derrick White (knee) is also on the injury report, which means the Celtics could be without two of their four leading scorers. It might be a big night for Jayson Tatum, who returns to the arena where he tore his Achilles tendon last year. Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic would also need to take on larger offensive roles if the Celtics aren't at full strength.

Nikola Vučević • C • Celtics

Nikola Vucevic Back in Action Sunday

Boston Celtics center Nikola Vucevic (finger) will end a month-long absence on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran big man has recovered from a fractured finger and is listed as available after initially having a questionable tag on the injury report. Vucevic has been Neemias Queta's backup in Boston, but he has still delivered decent production. In 12 appearances with the Celtics, Vucevic has averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Queta and Vucevic face a tough matchup on Sunday, with Jakob Poeltl healthy and playing well for the Raptors in the middle.

Jayson Tatum Cleared to Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is set to play Wednesday against Miami after sitting out Monday for routine injury management on the second night of a back-to-back. The star forward has averaged 21.2 points, 2.8 three-pointers, 9.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes over his last five games, reinforcing his must-start status in all formats. Tatum's return should push Jordan Walsh back to the bench while allowing Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to resume their usual offensive roles. Tatum remains a clear lineup anchor with Boston expected to lean on him offensively.

Neemias Queta • C • Celtics

Neemias Queta Returns Against Miami

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami after missing one contest. The 26-year-old has been a steady interior presence recently, averaging 10.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 26.2 minutes over his last five games, giving him some deep-league appeal for rebounds and field goal percentage. His return likely pushes Luka Garza back to a smaller reserve role after Garza produced 20 points as a spot starter. With Boston thin at center, Queta has a real opportunity to maintain a steady role. His scoring can be inconsistent, but his rebounding and interior production give him some reliability in deeper formats.

Ron Harper Jr. Unavailable Against Hawks

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, Boston Celtics forward Ron Harper Jr. is unavailable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out this evening due to a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old's next opportunity to suit up is against Miami on Wednesday. Harper out of action won't make much of an impact fantasy-wise as he's averaging just 3.6 points in 10.5 minutes per contest across 25 outings this campaign.
