Jaylen Brown Out Thursday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) will miss Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back due to left Achilles tendinitis. Derrick White (knee) is also listed as questionable, meaning Boston could be without two of its top scorers. Jayson Tatum could be in line for an increased offensive workload as he returns to the arena where he tore his Achilles tendon last year. Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic could also take on expanded roles, especially if White is ultimately ruled out.

Sam Hauser Could Miss Thursday's Game
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He must overcome lower-back spasms to avoid his fourth absence of the season. Hauser has been a regular starter for Boston in 2026, averaging 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists since joining the first unit. Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, and Hugo Gonzalez may all benefit from Hauser's absence on Thursday. Boston's injury situation is definitely something to monitor, as every starter, except for Jayson Tatum, has found their way onto the injury report ahead of Thursday's game.

Neemias Queta Uncertain for Thursday
Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Celtics begin a back-to-back set and have listed four starters as questionable on the injury report. Queta is nursing a right toe sprain. If he can't play against the Knicks, Nikola Vucevic would move into the starting lineup. So far, Vucevic has started only one game for Boston, amassing 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one block in 26 minutes against Milwaukee on March 2. Luka Garza's playing time would also increase with Queta's absence.

Derrick White Listed as Questionable for Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report before Thursday's big game against the New York Knicks. He is nursing a right knee contusion. The Celtics might head out with a very different starting lineup, as White is joined on the injury report by Jaylen Brown (Achilles), Sam Hauser (back), and Neemias Queta (toe). White's absence would open the door to the first unit for Payton Pritchard, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez might be more involved in the action. The Celtics also play on Friday against New Orleans, and there's a strong chance White will return to the lineup if he sits out Thursday's contest.

Jaylen Brown Iffy to Face Knicks
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is considered questionable for Thursday's showdown against the New York Knicks. Boston has listed him on the injury report with left Achilles tendinitis. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so the team might be considering giving Brown some rest late in the regular season. Derrick White (knee) is also on the injury report, which means the Celtics could be without two of their four leading scorers. It might be a big night for Jayson Tatum, who returns to the arena where he tore his Achilles tendon last year. Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic would also need to take on larger offensive roles if the Celtics aren't at full strength.

Nikola Vucevic Back in Action Sunday
Boston Celtics center Nikola Vucevic (finger) will end a month-long absence on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran big man has recovered from a fractured finger and is listed as available after initially having a questionable tag on the injury report. Vucevic has been Neemias Queta's backup in Boston, but he has still delivered decent production. In 12 appearances with the Celtics, Vucevic has averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Queta and Vucevic face a tough matchup on Sunday, with Jakob Poeltl healthy and playing well for the Raptors in the middle.

Jayson Tatum Cleared to Play Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is set to play Wednesday against Miami after sitting out Monday for routine injury management on the second night of a back-to-back. The star forward has averaged 21.2 points, 2.8 three-pointers, 9.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes over his last five games, reinforcing his must-start status in all formats. Tatum's return should push Jordan Walsh back to the bench while allowing Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to resume their usual offensive roles. Tatum remains a clear lineup anchor with Boston expected to lean on him offensively.

Neemias Queta Returns Against Miami
Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami after missing one contest. The 26-year-old has been a steady interior presence recently, averaging 10.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 26.2 minutes over his last five games, giving him some deep-league appeal for rebounds and field goal percentage. His return likely pushes Luka Garza back to a smaller reserve role after Garza produced 20 points as a spot starter. With Boston thin at center, Queta has a real opportunity to maintain a steady role. His scoring can be inconsistent, but his rebounding and interior production give him some reliability in deeper formats.

Ron Harper Jr. Unavailable Against Hawks
According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, Boston Celtics forward Ron Harper Jr. is unavailable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out this evening due to a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old's next opportunity to suit up is against Miami on Wednesday. Harper out of action won't make much of an impact fantasy-wise as he's averaging just 3.6 points in 10.5 minutes per contest across 25 outings this campaign.

Neemias Queta Ruled Out Monday
According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (thumb) won't play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Queta will miss the second leg of a back-to-back after registering 17 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Sunday's win over Charlotte. With Queta sidelined, Luka Garza is expected to see an uptick in minutes.

Derrick White Slated to Suit Up Against Hawks
According to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) is available for Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. White is set to suit up after he sat out Sunday's game against Charlotte due to a bruised right knee. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out tonight for rest purposes, White should see an expanded role in his return to the floor.

Jaylen Brown Set to Suit Up Monday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is available for Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Brown will return after missing two straight games due to left Achilles tendinitis. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined for rest purposes, Brown should take on even greater scoring responsibility this evening, boosting his fantasy outlook.

Jayson Tatum Sidelined on Monday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Tatum will miss the tail end of a back-to-back after posting 32 points, five rebounds, eight assists and one block across 31 minutes in Sunday's win over Charlotte. The 28-year-old sitting out tonight's contest comes as no surprise, as he continues to be managed after returning from a right Achilles tendon tear. Fantasy managers can expect Jaylen Brown to carry more of the offensive load with Tatum sidelined.

Neemias Queta Cleared to Play Sunday
Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (thumb) will play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The Portuguese big man has received official clearance to play after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The team upgraded Queta's status to probable earlier in the day. Since the Hornets limited him to two points and two rebounds on March 4, Queta has averaged 9.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

Derrick White Won't Play Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The team has ruled him out after initially listing him as questionable for the game. Boston will also be without Jaylen Brown (Achilles) on Sunday, so Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard should receive heavy usage on the offensive end. Meanwhile, players like Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez are set to log more minutes.
