Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play on Friday versus Detroit. The veteran will miss his third consecutive contest because of an AC joint sprain, and there's a chance he won't suit up for Saturday's game in Chicago. With Jaylen Brown (ankle), Jayson Tatum (ankle), and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) questionable, Derrick White could see a substantial bump in fantasy production, assuming Detroit can keep the game relatively close. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 19-point effort in Wednesday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, would likely enter the starting lineup, ultimately giving him more value for DFS lineups.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit. He's dealing with a right ankle injury, something that's bothered him for the last few weeks. However, the 27-year-old hasn't missed much time because of it and recently scored 21 points in 37 minutes in the narrow win over the Bucks on Wednesday night. The Celtics have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference. But considering Boston plays consecutive contests on Friday and Saturday, there's a good chance Brown sits out versus the worst team in the National Basketball Association. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) already ruled out, Payton Pritchard will likely slide into the starting lineup. If that's the case, Pritchard will be a value option for DFS managers, especially after coming off a 19-point showing.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old has landed on the shelf with a left ankle sprain, although Hauser was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday, meaning he shouldn't be out for long. Hauser has massively benefited from Boston giving its big guns some time off recently, but Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) are both available on Wednesday, so normal service should resume in the Celtics attack.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) has been cleared to play Wednesday versus the Bucks. He's missed a couple of games recently with health issues but is good to go for a second consecutive contest on Wednesday. Brown has averaged only 18.0 points against Milwaukee this season, but he's been in much better form recently and has a chance to post a third consecutive 30-point effort. He's averaging 29.8 points for the month, along with 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also misses the game. Pritchard recently bagged his first double-double of the campaign and put up 23 points against Detroit on Monday.
