Queta notched 18 points (9-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 victory over Toronto.

Queta was a beast on the offensive glass, creating numerous second-chance opportunities for the Celtics with his five offensive boards. The Celtics welcomed NIkola Vucevic (finger) back from a one-month absence Sunday, but he was limited to just 13 minutes while Queta continued to operate as the team's clear preferred option at center.

Vucevic (finger) accumulated four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 victory over the Raptors.

Vucevic was back in action after missing just under a month while recovering from a fractured right ring finger. While Vucevic could see a slight uptick in his playing time once he gets fully reconditioned, Neemias Queta had been deployed as the Celtics' clear top center even before Vucevic suffered the injury. Through 13 games with the Celtics since being acquired from the Bulls at the trade deadline, Vucevic has averaged 9.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes per contest.

Brown posted 26 points (11-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 win over the Raptors.

Brown pulled down his 3,000th career defensive rebound in this one, becoming just the eighth Celtic in franchise history to reach that milestone since the NBA began tracking such stats in 1973-74. Jayson Tatum notched his ninth double-double of the season in the win, finishing with 23 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 34 minutes in the win.

Walter finished Sunday's 115-101 loss to Boston with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes.

Walter has been shooting lights-out from long range since the All-Star break, converting 47.5 percent of his three-point attempts, and he was one of the few Toronto players to score efficiently in Sunday's loss. The sophomore guard will look to carry the momentum into Tuesday's game versus the Heat.

Ingram produced 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 loss to the Celtics.

Ingram got off to a rough start, scoring just three points on 1-for-7 shooting through the first half of action, but he was able to find his footing after halftime. Still, the end result was a loss, dropping the Raptors to the No. 7 seed in the East with a record of 43-35 as they head into a two-game series against the 41-37 No. 10-seeded Heat.

Barnes registered 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 loss to Boston.

Barnes took a hit to the midsection when driving to the hoop on the game's first possession, and while he played through it, it did appear to be bothering him throughout the game. The two-time All-Star has been struggling mightily over the past four games, scoring just 9.8 points per game on 38.1 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent at the line to go with 9.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 4.0 turnovers per contest.

Doncic will seek specialized medical treatment in Europe for his Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

This is an effort to expedite his return to play. Doncic has already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season, but it's no surprise that he will do everything in his power to make a return as early as possible into the postseason.

Clark logged nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 11 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets.

Clark played a very modest role off the bench due to Anthony Edwards (knee) getting the night off. Over the past three weeks, Clark has just five appearances to his name for an average of 11.1 minutes per contest.

Conley recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets.

Conley didn't see any action in Friday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia, but he was back with the starters Sunday due to Anthony Edwards (knee) being sidelined. If Edwards is forced to miss more time, Conley is only worth deploying in deeper fantasy formats.

Hyland ended Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets with 18 points (5-11 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes.

With Anthony Edwards (knee) getting the night off, Hyland stepped up in a big way for Minnesota. Edwards seems to be struggling to get back to 100 percent, making Hyland an intriguing streamer to close out the regular season.
