Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Pritchard (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
After sitting out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs due to neck spasms, Pritchard is ready to return Thursday. Over his last six games, the sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per contest. Pritchard's return likely means less playing time for Ron Harper off the bench.
White is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right knee contusion, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
White has picked up a bruised right knee, and the issue could prevent him from facing the Thunder. The standout guard played 40 minutes in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. If he can't play, Payton Pritchard (neck) would likely handle point guard duties.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Tatum just got back from last year's Achilles rupture last week, so the Celtics are monitoring his workload. If the teams opts to hold the superstar forward out of action, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez would each have an opportunity to step up for Boston.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in defeat
Rotowire
Queta racked up five points (1-3 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 loss to the Spurs.
Luka Garza played five more minutes than Queta, who battled foul trouble and struggled against Victor Wembanyama. Queta has averaged 10.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 23.8 minutes per tilt in his last 10 games, shooting 62.1 percent from the field.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Efficient performance off bench
Rotowire
Harper notched 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 loss to San Antonio.
With Payton Pritchard (neck) sidelined, Harper made the most of his expanded minutes off the bench Tuesday and thrived in the matchup against his brother, Dylan Harper, who plays for the Spurs. The older Harper delivered his best game of the season by a wide margin. His previous season-high scoring mark was 11 points, and this was just the second time he posted double-digit points in 2025-26. Despite the impressive performance Tuesday, Harper is not a player worth targeting in most fantasy formats since he doesn't have much of a role in the rotation and saw increased usage against San Antonio after Jaylen Brown was ejected. Through 19 appearances and two starts, Harper is averaging 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists on a mere 11.9 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Reaches 20-point mark once again
Rotowire
Tatum logged 24 points (10-24 FG, 4-14 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 loss to the Spurs.
Tatum has played exactly 27 minutes in his three outings since making his season debut Friday in a 120-100 win over the Mavericks, but the star forward continues to show his game hasn't gone anywhere. For the third appearance in a row, Tatum saw his scoring increase, and he attempted a season-high number of shots and three-pointers, as he saw increased usage after Jaylen Brown was ejected. Tatum should continue to have a big role on offense for the Celtics now that he's back in the lineup, although his fantasy upside will be capped as long as he continues to play under a strict minutes cap.
White closed Tuesday's 125-116 loss to the Spurs with 34 points (11-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 40 minutes.
White delivered one of his best stat lines of the season Tuesday, but his efforts were not enough to get past a red-hot Spurs team. The 34-point output was White's best scoring mark of the season, and he contributed a decent amount of rebounds and assists, which is something that can always be expected out of him. The veteran guard is averaging a strong line of 18.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks per game since the break, and his role on offense hasn't diminished with Jayson Tatum returning to the lineup. In fact, White is posting better numbers after the All-Star break than before the intermission.
Brown has been ejected from Tuesday's game against San Antonio after picking up two technical fouls, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. He'll finish the night with eight points (4-8 FG), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 15 minutes.
Brown was upset about a no-call on the offensive end during the second quarter, and he was subsequently tossed from the game. It'll be up to Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez to pick up the slack in the backcourt with Brown done for the evening.
