Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Starting versus Atlanta
Rotowire
Scheierman will start in Friday's game against Atlanta, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com.
Jaylen Brown (calf) won't play, so Scheierman will enter the starting lineup. The 2024 No. 30 overall pick has started 17 times this season, amassing 9.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in those appearances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Brown (calf), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against Atlanta, is considered day-to-day, according to Jay King of The Athletic
Brown won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Hawks. However, it appears there's a chance his absence will extend beyond this contest, considering head coach Joe Mazzulla didn't provide much clarity on his condition when asked by reporters. While the star forward is on the shelf, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard should handle the majority of the load on the scoring end.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Queta (thumb) will play Friday against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Queta will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. He's been terrific over his last six contests, averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Derrick White: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
White (knee) is good to go for Friday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
White was previously listed as questionable, but he will give it a go against the Hawks. Jaylen Brown (calf) is getting the night off, so White may see a bump in usage Friday.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Brown (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Brown was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest after playing some heavy workloads in recent games. With Brown getting the night off, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are likely to see more usage for Boston.
Brown is questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to tightness in his left calf.
Brown has been logging 35-plus minutes a game over the past five, so the Celtics may opt to hit him with a maintenance day with his calf acting up. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if Brown can't give it a go, Payton Pritchard and Jayson Tatum would see a boost.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Questionable with thumb sprain
Rotowire
Queta is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta with a right thumb sprain.
Queta is at risk of missing just his fifth contest of the season Friday. If the big man cannot suit up, Luka Garza would likely start at center and make sense as a strong plug-and-play fantasy option in most leagues.

Celtics' Derrick White: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
White is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a bruised right knee.
The Celtics could see how the star guard is feeling following Friday's pregame warmups before updating his status. Payton Pritchard would likely step into a featured role as the starting point guard if White cannot play.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Quiet stretch continues
Rotowire
Hauser closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and five rebounds across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder.
Hauser remains a streamer strictly for three-pointers in most fantasy leagues, though he's struggling to score at the moment. The sharpshooter has scored in single digits in five consecutive games, failing to knock down a single trey in three of them.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Efficient in win over OKC
Rotowire
Queta logged 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Thunder.
Queta plays a secondary role on offense, but the big man has found ways to contribute and is putting up solid numbers across the board. He left his mark defensively Wednesday with two blocks, making it the third time he's done that in his last seven games. It was also the third time he scored in double digits during that span. He'll remain valuable as long as he continues to start and see the majority of center minutes while Nikola Vucevic (finger) is sidelined. Queta is shooting 65.9 percent from the floor in that seven-game stretch and 63.6 percent since the All-Star break.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Sniffs triple-double
Rotowire
Tatum contributed 19 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Thunder.
Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics in this contest, but Tatum left his mark after ending just three assists away from recording a triple-double. Tatum continues to work his way back from an Achilles injury that sidelined him until March 6. The star forward has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three games while shooting 32.6 percent from the floor in that span, but he's supplemented his poor shooting with solid contributions across the box score.

Celtics' Derrick White: Struggles with shot in win
Rotowire
White finished Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes.
Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics to victory in this matchup, and while White had some decent numbers in the assists department, he had a rough go with his shot. White is expected to operate as the Celtics' No. 3 option on offense now that Jayson Tatum is back in the mix, and White's numbers have suffered because of that. He's gone four games in a row without surpassing the 15-point mark, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from three-point range.
Brown generated 31 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 39 minutes of Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder.
Brown totaled at least eight rebounds and eight assists for the seventh time this season, and he scored at least 29 points for the fifth time in the last six games -- a stretch that followed seven consecutive games with fewer than 29 points. In 65 appearances this season, Brown is averaging 28.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 34.3 minutes per game.

The Celtics recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.
Williams has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 27 minutes.

Celtics' Charles Bassey: Signs another 10-day deal
Rotowire
Bassey agreed to a second 10-day contract with Boston on Wednesday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.
During his first stint with Boston, Bassey made two garbage-time appearances and played four minutes in total. He'll continue to be an emergency depth option off the bench but is unlikely to be featured in head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are both available.
