Celtics' Ron Harper: Efficient performance off bench
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' Ron Harper: Garbage-time special
Harper posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across seven minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.
Harper logged seven minutes during garbage time as Boston was blown off the court by Charlotte. Although Harper has seen the court in 10 of the past 12 games, he has been unable to produce anything of note, averaging just 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game during that span.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Slides back to bench
Harper will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Starting sans Brown
Harper will start Tuesday's game against the Suns, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
With Jaylen Brown (knee) out, Harper will get the starting nod for the second time this season. The two-way player has appeared in five outings (one start) so far this month, during which he has averaged 4.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.6 minutes per contest. During his lone start in a win over Houston on Feb. 4, he posted 11 points, nine rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Not starting Friday
Harper won't start Friday's game against the Heat, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
With Sam Hauser back in action following a one-game absence due to a thumb issue, Harper will slide to the second unit. The two-way player was productive during his spot start in Wednesday's win over Houston, but he isn't guaranteed to see significant playing time Friday.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Impressive in first NBA start
Harper registered 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Boston's 114-93 win over Houston on Wednesday.
Harper has spent the vast majority of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics. Despite appearing in just seven games with Boston prior to Wednesday's contest, head coach Joe Mazulla gave Harper the starting nod for the first time in the latter's NBA career due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee). Harper took advantage of the opportunity, showcasing his energy with four offensive rebounds while showing his range from beyond the arc. Brown will likely be back for Friday's game against the Heat, but Harper's performance against Houston may have earned him some rotational minutes in the short term.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Starting Wednesday
Harper will start Wednesday against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Harper has made just seven appearances for the Celtics this season and played a total of 35 minutes, but he'll get the starting nod Wednesday with Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee) out. Joining Harper in the first unit will be Derrick White, Baylor Scheierman, Luka Garza and Neemias Queta.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Rare appearance in win
Harper amassed three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over six minutes during Saturday's 132-106 victory over Atlanta.
Harper logged six minutes during garbage time, making an appearance for just the fifth time this season. With Boston likely pushing for a playoff spot, there is almost no way Harper will be able to force himself into the nightly rotation, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Cleared to play Tuesday
Harper (calf) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
The two-way player had been sidelined for the G League Maine Celtics' previous two games Friday and Sunday due to a right calf injury, but he's back with the parent club and has seemingly returned to full health. Harper has played just 15 total minutes over three appearances with Boston this season and is unlikely to be included in the rotation Tuesday.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Inks deal with Boston
The Celtics signed Harper to an Exhibit 10 contract on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Harper has played a total of 11 regular-season games in the NBA over the past three seasons, spending time with the Raptors and Pistons. The Rutgers product will have a chance at a fresh start and an opportunity to stay on the NBA level on his new squad, which will be going through a transition year following the injury suffered by superstar Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and the departures of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. Harper played well during his time with the Motor City Cruise in the G League during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 44 percent from the field and 39 percent from beyond the arc.

Pistons' Ron Harper: On to Detroit with two-way
Harper signed a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports.
Harper recently finished the 2024 calendar year with the G League's Maine Celtics, averaging 11.5 points while shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 40.3 percent from deep. Detroit will be the 24-year-old's second NBA team after spending time with the Raptors during the 2023-24 campaign. Harper played only one game with Toronto, logging one assist in four minutes. He could be in store for somewhat of a more regular role for the Pistons, though his two-way contract suggests that is far from a guarantee for now.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Inks Exhibit 10 deal with Boston
The Celtics signed Harper (shoulder) to an Exhibit 10 contract Sunday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Harper spent the 2023-24 season as a two-way player for Toronto, but was waived in December after undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. He's since recovered from the procedure and logged three points and a block across 10 minutes with the Celtics' Summer League team Saturday. Harper's Exhibit 10 deal will earn him an invite to training camp and gives Boston his G league rights..
