Derrick White

BOS Point Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

5moDerrick White had a full stat line with 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks and four 3-pointers against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

White continues to be a steady presence for the Celtics. While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown took more shots, White was a team-high +8 in 37 minutes in the two-point win. He also led Boston in rebounds, assists and blocks. Kristaps Porzingis’ eventual return will impact the Celtics’ rotation, but shouldn’t significantly impact White’s fantasy value. Porzingis is also still without a concrete timeline. Boston has three games in Week 6, starting with the Clippers on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back.
Jayson Tatum

BOS Small Forward #0

5moJayson Tatum had 26 points (8-of-21 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and five 3-pointers against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Tatum continues to struggle from the field. In his last two games, he’s 14-of-40 with 42 points. Tatum was 5-of-12 from behind the 3-point line Sunday after an 0-of-10 performance on Friday against the Wizards, so that was a marked improvement. Tatum gets enough usage that even in a shooting slump, he can get 26 points. The Celtics have three games in Week 6, starting with the Clippers on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Small Forward #7

5moJaylen Brown had 29 points (10-of-18 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and seven 3-pointers in the Celtics’ 107-105 victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday.

The Celtics appeared to make a grave mistake by leaving Anthony Edwards open for a 3-pointer with two-point lead and a minute and a half remaining in the fourth quarter, but Edwards missed. Jayson Tatum got the long rebound and Brown drained a 3-pointer to put the Celtics up by five, essentially sealing the win for Boston. Brown played a complete game. He chipped in with a steal and a block and only had one turnover in 36 minutes. Brown led the game with 29 points and seven made 3-pointers. Boston has three games in Week 6, starting with the Clippers on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back.
Luke Kornet

BOS Center #40

5moLuke Kornet (right hamstring tightness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Kornet didn’t make the team’s initial injury report, but he has been ruled out less than an hour before tipoff. Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman should split a few extra minutes off the bench, but with Al Horford back, neither will be worth streaming.
Al Horford

BOS Center #42

5moAl Horford (illness) will play against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Horford was forced to miss Friday’s game against Washington, but he’ll be back for this game. He should take his usual place in the starting lineup, which will push Neemias Queta back to the bench, where he won’t be worth streaming.
Al Horford

BOS Center #42

5moAl Horford (illness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Horford did not play in Friday’s win over the Wizards, with Neemias Queta replacing him in the starting lineup. Queta’s performance in the nation’s capital was underwhelming, with Luke Kornet and Sam Hauser having better nights. All three would be worth a look in deep leagues if Horford remains sidelined.
Neemias Queta

BOS Center #88

5moNeemias Queta played 18 minutes in Friday’s win over Washington, scoring seven points (1-of-3 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, and one blocked shot.

Due to Al Horford (illness) being sidelined, Queta started Friday’s game. He didn’t do himself any favors by getting in early four trouble, resulting in a pedestrian performance from the fourth-year center. Luke Kornet (six points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one blocked shot) played 24 minutes off the bench and will be worthy of deep-league consideration for Sunday’s game against Minnesota if Horford does not play.
Jrue Holiday

BOS Point Guard #4

5moJrue Holiday accumulated 16 points (3-of-6 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, four steals, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes in Friday’s win over Washington.

Averaging 0.7 steals per game for the season, Holiday has recently upped his production in that category. He picked up four on Friday and has averaged 1.8 per game over the last two weeks. During that period, Holiday has been a 4th-round player in 9-cat formats. While currently ranked just outside the top 100, the veteran guard should settle in the top 75 by season’s end.
Jayson Tatum

BOS Small Forward #0

5moJayson Tatum shot 6-of-19 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line in Friday’s win over Washington, scoring 16 points with nine rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 37 minutes.

Co-star Jaylen Brown was 3-of-13 from three on Friday, but at least he saw one go through the hoop. Tatum missed all ten attempts, which was his worst shooting performance of the season. There’s no need for alarm given the Celtics’ wing’s overall production, but nights like this are possible when a team relies on the three as much as Boston does. Tatum will look to rebound on Sunday when the Celtics face the Timberwolves.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Small Forward #7

5moJaylen Brown amassed 31 points (11-of-27 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Friday’s win over the Wizards.

Brown shot 3-of-13 from three, negatively impacting his field goal percentage and point total. But he still managed to record his first 30/10/5 stat line of the season. And Brown wasn’t the only player to struggle from deep, as the Celtics were 11-of-46 on the night. Over the last two weeks, his fantasy value is outside the top 100, pushing Brown’s season-long value outside the top 100. The issues recently have been turnovers and limited defensive production.
