George came out hot with eight points in the first quarter, and he ended the game a distant third on the Celtics in scoring behind Payton Pritchard (30 points) and Jayson Tatum (26 points).

Celtics' Paul George: Bounces back Tuesday
Rotowire
George registered 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 125-124 overtime win over the Nets.
George delivered a well-rounded fantasy performance, contributing seven rebounds and seven assists despite struggling from three-point range, and this was a clear bounce-back effort after his 16-point output (5-14 FG) against the Bulls on Monday. His 36-minute workload and 16 field-goal attempts highlight his continued involvement in Boston's offense alongside Jayson Tatum. While his scoring may fluctuate, George's ability to contribute across multiple categories gives him a relatively stable fantasy floor. Even if his scoring numbers are inconsistent, and considering he's not likely to repeat the 38-point performance he had in the opener, it's worth noting that George has established himself as a reliable, consistent scoring weapon for Boston with at least 15 points in each of his four appearances so far.

George struggled inside the arc but connected on three triples as Boston cruised to a comfortable victory. His playing time was limited by the lopsided score, and he committed four turnovers.

Celtics' Paul George: Strong effort in victory
Rotowire
George had 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 107-103 victory over the Knicks.
George came back to earth a bit after dropping 38 points in his season debut, but he still delivered a strong all-around performance Friday. The Celtics have their first back-to-back set of the season on tap for Monday against the Bulls and Tuesday versus the Nets, and it'll be interesting to see if the 36-year-old forward will play both ends after sitting out back-to-backs at times last year with the 76ers.

George will look to remain highly productive when Boston hosts New York on Friday.

George didn't have the most efficient night offensively, but he demonstrated his defensive chops during Saturday's win, with four of his game-high five steals taking place in the first half.

Celtics' Paul George: Coach praises his experience
Rotowire
Head coach Joe Mazzulla praised George's experience Tuesday, per Justin Turpin of WEEI.com.
George has big shoes to fill in Boston this season, stepping into the role as one of Jayson Tatum's running mates following Jaylen Brown's exit. Staying on the court has been a major concern for George, who has made at least 70 regular-season appearances just once in his past seven seasons, but he should push for mid-round fantasy value when healthy after averaging at least 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in back-to-back years for the 76ers.

After two injury-filled years with the 76ers, the star forward will join the Celtics.

76ers' Paul George: Larger role incoming?
Rotowire
George could be in line for a larger workload after Philadelphia lost both Kelly Oubre and Quentin Grimes this offseason, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
With two key wing contributors no longer on the roster, the veteran forward should be asked to shoulder more of the scoring and playmaking responsibilities alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Assuming he stays healthy, George could be positioned for a bounce-back fantasy campaign with an expanded role on the wing.

76ers' Paul George: Working through illness
Rotowire
George is listed as probable for Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Celtics on Saturday due to an illness, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
George played a key role in the Sixers' Game 6 win on Thursday, when he logged 23 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 40 minutes. Given that Saturday is an elimination game, George will likely try and play through his ailment, though he could be facing a reduced workload if his condition worsens over the course of the day. If that were to be the case, then Justin Edwards and Kelly Oubre would step into larger roles for the Sixers behind the superstar duo of Joel Embiid (abdomen) and Tyrese Maxey.
