Celtics' Drew Peterson: Removed from injury report
Peterson (concussion) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Peterson is set to be available for the Celtics on Wednesday after missing the past two games with a concussion. However, the 25-year-old is playing just 9.9 minutes per game over 11 appearances in the NBA this season and isn't a lock to see the court against Toronto.

Celtics' Al Horford: Strong showing off bench in win
Horford closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 victory over New Orleans.
Horford once again showcased his value coming off the bench Sunday, tallying bench-high-tying marks in scoring and rebounds in a balanced performance. Horford reached double figures in scoring for the first time since Dec. 27, now having done so on 11 occasions this year. He has now hauled in seven or more boards in nine outings.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Displays two-way play in win
Porzingis ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.
Porzingis had a strong outing Sunday, getting it done on both ends of the floor while finishing as one of two players with a double-double. Porzingis led all Celtics in blocks while recording team-high-tying marks in threes made and rebounds in a winning effort. Porzingis matched his season high in rebounds, which he'd originally established Tuesday against Denver. All three of Porzingis' double-doubles this season have transpired within the last three games.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Flirts with 40 points in victory
Tatum amassed 38 points (14-30 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.
Tatum shined offensively once again Sunday, leading all players in scoring and shots made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of two players with a double-double. Tatum posted his second-highest scoring mark of the season Sunday, trailing his season-high 43 points that he tallied Dec. 21. Tatum has tallied at least 35 points and 10 rebounds in three outings this year.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Available to play
Walsh (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
After missing the past two games for Boston, Walsh is no longer appearing on the injury report. Walsh is a fringe rotation player, however, so this news doesn't impact many fantasy managers.

Celtics' Drew Peterson: Out again Sunday
Peterson (concussion) won't play Sunday versus the Pelicans.
Peterson will miss a second straight contest for Boston. He's appeared in 11 total games for the Celtics this season, and his absence won't have many fantasy implications.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Game-high 28 points in loss
Brown chipped in a game-high 28 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to the Kings.
Although Brown submitted his highest scoring output since a 44-point outburst during the Dec. 27 win over Indiana, his performance wasn't enough to push the Celtics to victory. Through his last six outings, the 28-year-old star forward is averaging 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 threes. Brown is shooting a career-low 32.2 percent from long distance on the campaign as a whole, which is a bit of a surprise given the nature of Boston's loaded roster, but he'll have a prime opportunity to build on Friday's showing in Sunday's favorable matchup at home against the 8-31 Pelicans.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Logs 18th double-double of season
Tatum finished Friday's 114-97 loss to Sacramento with 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes.
Tatum matched his fewest field-goal attempts (13) in a single game this season, which could be attributed to Boston's roster finally being back at full strength. The 26-year-old superstar forward was on an MVP trajectory during the early portion of the campaign amid Kristaps Porzingis' absence, but the former's numbers have tapered off a bit lately. Even so, Tatum is averaging 24.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.2 threes across his last nine contests and has a soft matchup on tap for Sunday against the Pelicans, who rank 28th in the league in defensive efficiency rating (117.7).

Celtics' Derrick White: Struggles mightily in return
White (illness) chipped in three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to the Kings.
After missing Tuesday's win over Denver with an illness, White struggled mightily in his return to Boston's lineup while scoring a season-low three points Friday. Although the 30-year-old guard's role on offense has become more volatile with the Celtics back at full strength, he's still averaging a solid 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocks and 3.2 threes over his last six games. White's defensive prowess should continue to keep him among fantasy's most balanced assets, particularly in nine-category formats.

Celtics' Al Horford: Coming off bench Friday
Horford is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Kings on Friday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Horford started against the Nuggets on Tuesday due to Derrick White being ruled out with an illness. With White back for Friday's inter-conference clash, Horford will revert to a reserve role and be the first big man off the bench behind Kristaps Porzingis. Over his last 10 outings, Horford has averaged 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 28.1 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Out with illness
Walsh (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Walsh will sit out a second consecutive game with an illness Friday. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Sunday against the Pelicans. Walsh's absence against Sacramento should not affect Boston's rotation very much, but the sharpshooting Sam Hauser should have a longer leash from the second unit.

Celtics' Drew Peterson: Ruled out Friday
Peterson is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings.
The 25-year-old presumably sustained the concussion during his most recent appearance in the G League on Tuesday, when he tallied 23 points over 42 minutes in the Maine Celtics' 118-115 loss to the Indiana Mad Ants. The two-way player has seen action in 11 games at the NBA level this season, averaging 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Iffy for Friday
Walsh (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Kings.
Walsh is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to an illness. However, Walsh is an inconsistent part of Boston's rotation even when available.
