Sam Hauser - Good to go for Wednesday Hauser (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Jayson Tatum - Notches 18 points in win Tatum recorded 18 points (7-21 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 108-89 win over the Heat.
Impact Tatum was carrying a questionable tag into this game due to knee soreness, but kept his streak alive with zero missed games in 21 appearances. He's been a first-round value in nine-category formats so far, posting averages of 28.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.0 three-pointers.

Drew Peterson - Gets 20-plus minutes once again Peterson tallied seven points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes Monday in the Celtics' 108-89 win over the Heat.
Impact After playing just eight total minutes through the Celtics' first 19 games of the season, Peterson has now handled 25- and 26-minute workloads off the bench in Boston's last two contests. A two-way player, Peterson was a standout performer in his two G League stops in 2023-24 and has continued to shine with the Maine Celtics over five appearances in 2024-25, but playing time at the NBA level only recently opened up due to Boston holding out Jaylen Brown and Derrick White in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers and Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), Al Horford (toe) and Sam Hauser (personal) on Monday. All four of those players could return to action for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, so Peterson is likely to find himself back outside of the rotation rather than getting another 20-plus-minute role.

Derrick White - Hands out eight assists in return White (foot) notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt), six rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.
Impact Returning to Boston's lineup after a one-game absence with a foot issue, White didn't miss a beat while matching teammate Payton Pritchard with a game-high five three-pointers. White has reached double figures in scoring in each of his last seven games, averaging 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 3.9 three-pointers per contest while shooting 41.5 percent from long range over this frame. The 30-year-old two-way guard has been a gem in nine-category leagues for his ability to contribute across the board all season long, but his usage may not be as high on nights when the Celtics' loaded lineup is at full strength. With that said, White should remain quite efficient on offense in those cases and perhaps be able to place an even bigger emphasis on racking up the defensive stats fantasy managers have grown accustomed to in recent years.

Luke Kornet - Block party in spot start Kornet produced six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.
Impact Making his third start of the season, Kornet swatted a season-high six shots while filling in at center for the resting Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the second night of a back-to-back set. Kornet did a fine job defending Bam Adebayo, who went just 6-for-18 from the field for the Heat. Kornet doesn't necessarily have a defined role in Boston's rotation on a nightly basis, but he's been effective in 10 appearances as a starter since 2023-24, averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 74.6 percent from the floor during this period dating back to last season. The 29-year-old veteran big man is a worthy plug-and-play option for fantasy managers on occasions that he joins the first unit, which is something to watch out for when the Celtics play back-to-back games once again Friday against the Bucks and Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Jaylen Brown - Game-high 29 points in return Brown (illness) posted 29 points (8-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.
Impact After missing Sunday's narrow loss to Cleveland with an illness, Brown did all of his damage in just three quarters Monday, sitting out the fourth quarter as Boston nursed a late lead. Brown's game-high 29 points lifted some of the burdens from the shoulders of Jayson Tatum, who fired a season-high 27 field-goal attempts Sunday against the Cavaliers. Over his last 10 games, Brown is averaging 24.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 36.2 minutes per game while shooting a strong 38.2 percent from downtown during this span. Brown had shot just 71.4 percent from the free-throw line in his previous eight games to Monday, but fantasy managers should be very pleased with the star wing's 9-for-10 clip from the foul line in this one.
