Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Holiday is dealing with left knee inflammation that will force him to miss his first game this season. The 34-year-old has averaged 12.8 PPG this season but his biggest impact may be felt defensively for Boston. Expect Payton Pritchard to get the start at point guard for Boston tonight. Pritchard has averaged 16.2 PPG off the bench for Boston and is a must start in all fantasy formats. DFS managers should consider adding Pritchard to their lineups as well.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is questionable for Saturday's showdown with the Toronto Raptors. The veteran isn't as productive as when he was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's still averaging 12.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. He's also still a sound defender. But if his left knee tendinopathy keeps him off the floor on Saturday night, it will presumably open the door for added production from Payton Pritchard, who has averaged 16.2 points and 42.7% shooting from deep this season.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable because of a toe sprain. But the Celtics will have him on the court to begin the Emirates NBA cup. The 38-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, averaging 8.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.1 steals this season. But he's still a viable fantasy option in deeper setups, even more so in category formats due to his 43.5% shooting from behind the arc.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks and won't have any restrictions, per Celtics' coach Joe Mazzulla. Brown missed four games due to the hip issue but was able to play on Sunday against Milwaukee and is good to go for Boston's first game of the in-season tournament. Brown is a must-start in all fantasy formats. While there is a chance this game ends in a blowout with the Hawks missing Trae Young, fantasy managers may not need to worry as much about Brown sitting out minutes to end the game. With the NBA Cup tiebreakers focused on margin of victory, Boston pushed leads last season and could be expected to do the same this year. Ensure Brown is in your starting lineups prior to the 7:10 PM ET tip-off.

According to Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the visiting Hawks. The multi-time All-Star was listed as questionable because of a sprained left ankle. However, that won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday night. Even better, he won't have any restrictions. Tatum has averaged 30.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals this season. But he could be even more productive versus a Hawks team that has allowed 121 points per game this season, the third-worst mark in the National Basketball Association.
