Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Fails to fire in win
Gonzalez provided two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings.
Gonzalez offered very little in the way of tangible production, scoring no more than three points for the third time in the past four games. It's been an interesting rookie campaign thus far for Gonzalez, full of ups and downs. However, the downs have certainly outnumbered the ups, with Gonzalez averaging just 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game through his first 43 appearances.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Another passive performance
Walsh ended with five points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 112-93 victory over the Kings.
Walsh was used sparingly again, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the seventh time in the past eight games. With Sam Hauser seemingly taking hold of the starting power forward position, Walsh has been relegated to a depth role. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 3.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 300 in nine-category formats.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Strong double-double in return
Queta provided 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 112-93 victory over Sacramento.
Queta turned in a strong two-way effort, returning to action after missing the previous game due to an illness. Up against a questionable Sacramento lineup, Queta made the most of his time on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. Despite a somewhat limited ceiling, Queta has exceeded all expectations thus far, averaging 10.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks, cementing himself as the starting center in Boston.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Scores game-high 29 points
Pritchard scored 29 points (12-16 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes in Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings.
Pritchard was on the verge of recording what would have been his fifth game with at least 30 points this season, but he still finished as the game's highest scorer by a wide margin. Pritchard has cleared the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings and should continue as one of the Celtics' go-to options on offense as long as he continues to carry a hot hand.

Celtics' Amari Williams: Not starting Friday
Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Williams received a spot start Wednesday with Neemias Queta out due to an illness, but Queta is back and starting Friday, so Williams will retreat to the second unit. The rookie center has not been a consistent part of the Celtics' rotation this season, so with the Boston bigs healthy, he isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Starting Friday
Queta will start Friday's game against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta will return to action following a one-game absence due to an illness, and as expected, he'll step back into the starting five. The big man has started all but one of his 14 January appearances, during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 25.1 minutes per game.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Starting Friday vs. Sacramento
Scheierman is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Kings on Friday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
It'll be the fourth start of the season for Scheierman (all of which have come since Jan. 12) as he takes Jaylen Brown's (hamstring) spot in Boston's starting five. In his last start against the Nets on Jan. 23, Scheierman finished with six points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes in a double-overtime victory.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Available to play
Queta (illness) is available to play in Friday's game against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta will shake off a probable tag and is set to return from a one-game absence. With this news, Amari Williams is likely to retreat to the second unit Friday.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Sitting out Friday
Brown (hamstring) will not play Friday against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
No surprise here, as Brown was previously considered doubtful. Presumably, this is more of a maintenance day, but it remains to be seen if he will be back for Sunday's game against the Bucks. In the meantime, this could be a big opportunity for Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman to see more run.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Expected to play Friday
Queta is probable for Friday's game against the Kings due to an illness, per Justin Turpin of WEEI.com.
After sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, Queta appears to be primed to return to the court Friday. Amari Williams figures to revert back to the bench. Over his last six appearances, Queta has averaged 9.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 25.9 minutes per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Doubtful for Friday
Brown is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion and left hamstring tightness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown appears headed for a night off as he deals with several lower-body injuries. If he's downgraded to out before tipoff, look for Hugo Gonzalez to draw a start at small forward.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Continues strong stretch of play
Hauser totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks.
Hauser continues to occupy a significant role for the Celtics, making him worth rostering in most fantasy leagues as long as he stays hot from long distance. Over his last eight contests, the sharpshooter has averaged 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 4.3 three-pointers in 29.1 minutes per game.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Makes garbage-time cameo
Minott played the final 4:39 of Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
The Celtics were shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with Neemias Queta (illness) sitting out, but his absence didn't open up room in the rotation for Minott, who had been cleared to return to action earlier this week after missing 10 straight games while recovering from an ankle sprain. Boston got by with a combination of Luka Garza and Amari Williams at center while the game was competitive before Minott checked in for the first time late in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta had built an 18-point lead to effectively salt the game away.

Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Scores 12 points on seven shots
Simons supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to Atlanta.
Simons was one of the few Celtics to get his points efficiently Wednesday evening, but with Boston getting blown out, Simons didn't log his usual minutes and wasn't able to capitalize on the hot shooting. Inconsistency has been a theme for Simons this season, which is why he ranks outside the top 150 with averages of 13.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 triples per game.

Celtics' Derrick White: Held to 11 points in loss
White ended with 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to Atlanta.
The Celtics came out lifeless Wednesday evening, scoring just 18 points on 6-of-20 shooting through the first quarter of action, which accounted for their lowest-scoring first quarter this season. White was scoreless in that first frame, opened the game with four straight misses and just never found his footing offensively. This was the Celtics' first double-digit defeat since Dec. 11 in Milwaukee, but they'll look to right the ship Friday versus Sacramento.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Struggles in loss to Atlanta
Brown recorded 21 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks.
The Celtics struggled to generate much offense and had a rough night from three-point territory, shooting 9-for-34 from beyond the arc. Brown didn't get a single three-pointer to fall in his 29 minutes of floor time, and per Jay King of The Athletic, he acknowledged after the game that he didn't play to his standards. It was an off night for the four-time All-Star, but managers can anticipate a bounce-back performance Friday with a favorable matchup against the Kings.

Celtics' Amari Williams: Starting sans Queta
Williams will start against the Hawks on Wednesday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
With Neemias Queta (illness) unavailable, Williams will get the starting nod for just the second time this season. The rookie second-rounder logged a career-high 26 minutes in Monday's win over Portland, during which he posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal.
