Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is available to play in Wednesday's contest versus the San Antonio Spurs. A sprained right elbow has bothered Holiday of late, but he hasn't sat out since Dec. 31's beatdown of this same Spurs bunch. The 33-year-old two-time All-Star has taken a backseat as a playmaker in Boston's loaded lineup, and he's just barely cracking the top 75 in nine-category fantasy leagues while averaging 13.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.9 threes in 33.8 minutes over 37 outings. An uptick in usage is headed Holiday's direction in the cushiest possible draw against San Antonio on Wednesday, however, considering Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and backcourt mate Derrick White (ankle) are unavailable.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will sit out Wednesday's tilt versus the San Antonio Spurs. Porzingis is dealing with inflammation in his right knee, so we won't get to see him tangle with fellow unicorn Victor Wembanyama on Wednesday. Look for KP to return for Friday's showdown with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets, as there's reason to believe that the Celtics are simply using this matchup against this last-place Spurs team for some load management. Al Horford has averaged 10.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists over eight appearances without Porzingis this season, so he deserves to be a popular streamer and DFS option in the game with the slate's highest implied point total (238.5).

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Spurs. Holiday continues to nurse a right elbow sprain he suffered late last month. However, he has been pushing through the injury and has yet to miss a game since the turn of the year. It appears likely that Holiday will play on Wednesday, but if he's out, fantasy managers should focus on Payton Pritchard. He's done well in recent games, and Pritchard's fantasy stock could receive an additional boost Wednesday with the absence of Derrick White (ankle), who's also considered questionable.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) isn't seen on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Brown required a one-game absence due to a hyperextended right knee, sitting out Monday's win over the Toronto Raptors. 19-0 at TD Garden, the Celtics should be massive favorites at home against a 7-32 Spurs squad, perhaps allowing them to manage Brown's minutes if they're carrying a big lead late. San Antonio is giving up the fourth-most points per game (121.4) this season, and Brown has caught fire over his last five games with averages of 29.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes since Jan. 6. Al Horford logged his third double-double of the season in Monday's start and would figure to revert back to Boston's bench, but each of Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Jrue Holiday (elbow), and Derrick White (ankle) are questionable on Wednesday.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee), who was reportedly inactive during the morning shootaround, will not play in Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day game against the Toronto Raptors. Dealing with a hyperextended right knee, Brown should be considered day-to-day ahead of his next chance to suit up on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star is heating up over his last five games, averaging 29.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 threes, and 2.2 assists in 32.7 minutes since Jan. 6. The Raptors have been forced to play smaller lineups with Jakob Poeltl (ankle) on the sidelines, so Sam Hauser might be a more likely replacement for Brown than Al Horford in Boston's starting five on Monday. Horford has been more productive as a starter this season, however, averaging 9.0 points, 7.7 boards, and 3.7 dimes across 14 games with the first unit.
