Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) won't play on Sunday against Denver. He's battled a shoulder injury throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, a finger injury will keep him off the floor versus the Nuggets. Holiday also wasn't available in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers. As a result, Sam Hauser entered the starting lineup and finished with six points and six rebounds. Hauser should see a bump in fantasy potential on Sunday. But with Jaylen Brown (knee), Derrick White, and Jayson Tatum available, nobody on the roster is considered a lock from a scoring standpoint, even with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) isn't available for Sunday's meeting with Denver. He's not hurt, which is always a concern. However, the veteran isn't feeling well, so he'll miss a second-consecutive game. Al Horford got the start on Friday against the Cavaliers, finishing with five points and seven rebounds. Horford will likely draw the start once again versus Nikola Jokic and company, with Luke Kornet coming off the bench. Yet, with Jaylen Brown (knee) and Jayson Tatum on the floor, everyone else could have a tough time getting consistent scoring opportunities, capping Horford's fantasy potential.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) will play on Sunday against Denver. He had 37 points in Friday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, the 28-year-old popped up on the injury report on Saturday because of knee pain. With Jrue Holiday (finger) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) both ruled out, Brown and Jayson Tatum could exceed expectations from a production standpoint versus a Denver team that hasn't been the most efficient on the defensive side of the ball during the 2024-25 campaign.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (finger) isn't expected to face the Nuggets on Sunday afternoon. He's missed time this season because of a shoulder injury. However, the 34-year-old might miss Sunday's game because of a finger injury. Sam Hauser got the start in Friday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with six points and six rebounds. However, with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jaylen Brown (knee) both uncertain to suit up, Hauser could see a bump in production.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets. He had 37 points in the 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday night. But he may miss Sunday's contest due to right knee pain. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jrue Holiday (hand) are also on the injury report. As a result, Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Al Horford could all see a bump in production behind Jayson Tatum, who scored a game-high 46 points on Friday night.
