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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Neemias Queta Ruled Out Monday

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (thumb) won't play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Queta will miss the second leg of a back-to-back after registering 17 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Sunday's win over Charlotte. With Queta sidelined, Luka Garza is expected to see an uptick in minutes.

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) is available for Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. White is set to suit up after he sat out Sunday's game against Charlotte due to a bruised right knee. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out tonight for rest purposes, White should see an expanded role in his return to the floor.

Jaylen Brown Set to Suit Up Monday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is available for Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Brown will return after missing two straight games due to left Achilles tendinitis. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined for rest purposes, Brown should take on even greater scoring responsibility this evening, boosting his fantasy outlook.
