Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Iffy Monday
Rotowire
Brissett (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Brissett was added to the injury report with a sprained left thumb that could cause him to miss time. The fifth-year pro has had a minimal role off the bench thus far, averaging 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game across four contests. Lamar Stevens or Sam Hauser could see a little uptick in minutes if Brissett is ultimately unable to go.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Plays 20 minutes in blowout win
Rotowire
Brissett recorded four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two steals over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 victory over Indiana.
The Celtics again jumped to a big lead early, which allowed coach Joe Mazzulla to give big minutes to his reserves. Of all the bench players, Brissett's 20 minutes were second to only Payton Pritchard's 26 minutes. While Brissett's stats were modest, he did deliver a plus-21 point differential. It appears that Boston is looking to get hustle plays from Brissett while keeping his shot volume low. After receiving a DNP-CD on Opening Night, Brissett has now averaged 14.7 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Brissett won't start Wednesday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Boston's usual first unit took a seat for the second night of a back-to-back set Monday, allowing Brissett to enter the starting five. He posted 10 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes but will move back to a bench role with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford back in action. Brissett is competing with Wenyen Gabriel and Luke Kornet for the top backup spot behind Porzingis and Horford.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Puts up 10 points against Knicks
Rotowire
Brissett delivered 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 23 minutes in Monday's 114-107 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Brissett was woeful from beyond the arc and missed all four of his three-point attempts, but he looked good when playing with his back to the basket and attacking the rim. Brissett is in the mix to compete for minutes as the backup power forward since Kristaps Porzingis is fully entrenched as the starter in that position.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Headed to Boston
Rotowire
The Celtics signed Brissett to a two-year, minimum contract with a player option for 2024-25 on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Brissett will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
With the Pacers playing in Canada, Rick Carlisle will start his three Canadian players in Brissett, Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, while Buddy Hield and Myles Turner will join them. Brissett can be hit-or-miss, so he's not worth much more than a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.
Brissett supplied two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 16 minutes during Friday's 134-111 loss to the Nuggets.
Brissett moved into the starting lineup Friday yet failed to deliver anything remotely close to fantasy value. It's been a disappointing season thus far, struggling to get anything going, especially on the offensive end of the floor. He has scored double-digits only once in his past 10 games, adding very little outside of adequate rebound numbers. As a result, he is currently outside the top 300 for the season, which tells you everything you need to know about his fantasy value.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Active Saturday
Rotowire
Brissett (hamstring) will play in Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Brissett was tabbed questionable for Saturday's tilt due to soreness in his left hamstring after posting a double-double in 31 minutes Friday, but he will take the floor. With Aaron Nesmith (illness) back in action, Brissett should handle a smaller workload Saturday.
Brissett has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to left hamstring soreness.
Brissett posted a 17-point, 10-board double-double off the bench Friday, but it appears he also tweaked his hamstring a bit along the way. At this point, it's unclear if he will get an opportunity to follow up the season-best effort Saturday, but the team should provide more information on his status ahead of the 7 PM ET opening tip.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Brissett chipped in 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 113-111 loss to the Hawks.
Brissett returned following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he posted his second-best scoring mark of the campaign. Brissett was coming off six straight outings with seven or fewer points, though, so this outing may be more of an outlier as opposed to a sign of things to expect going forward. The former Syracuse standout will likely remain a bench option ahead of Saturday's matchup against Memphis.

Rotowire
Brissett totaled five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 victory over the Hornets.
Brissett grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds Sunday, logging at least 20 minutes for the second straight game. Despite playing in the majority of games this season, Brissett has been unable to produce at a consistent level. He currently sits well outside the top 300, making him a non-factor, even in deeper formats.
