Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) drew a questionable tag on Monday's injury report for their game against the Utah Jazz. He continues to deal with right knee tendinopathy, and could receive a day off since the Jazz are one of the worst teams in the league. If he's unable to play, Payton Pritchard could join the starting five while Derrick White plays more of a forward role. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet would also see a bump in opportunities with Al Horford (toe) also listed as questionable. Pritchard would be the best of this group as he's having the best season of his career with 14.3 points, 3.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.3 threes per game.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man will miss his fifth game in a row due to a lingering illness. There seemed to be some hope that Porzingis would play on Saturday, but he'll ultimately be held out for at least one more game. Al Horford will move into the starting five and becomes a more appealing fantasy option. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet should also see more run in the rotation with Porzingis sidelined.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) is back in action ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Holiday will make his return to the court after missing the last four games due to a right finger injury. It sounds like he'll have a full workload on Saturday despite missing the last four contests. He should have a busy night ahead of him trying to defend Luka Doncic. Holiday is usually a viable fantasy option, so go ahead and get him active ahead of Saturday's tip-off.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers. He's missed the last four contests because of a finger injury. But, truth be told, Holiday hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging only 10.8 points per game, the second-lowest mark of his career. Sam Hauser (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are also questionable, so Joe Mazzulla may turn to Payton Pritchard and Al Horford to enter the starting lineup behind Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, who is off the injury report, and Jayson Tatum.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is off the injury report heading into Saturday's showdown with the Lakers. He wasn't available for Thursday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Jayson Tatum, who had 35 points, moved over to the three, with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet entering the starting lineup. But with Brown back in the equation and Al Horford also off the injury report, Queta and Kornet will head back to the bench, virtually eliminating both of their fantasy potential.
