Celtics' Mike Conley: Sees minimal action
Conley ended with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one block in four minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to Houston.
Conley made his lone shot attempt but barely factored into Boston's rotation, playing just under four minutes despite the Celtics' struggles offensively. Payton Pritchard logged 30 minutes off the bench, leaving little opportunity for the veteran point guard. Conley's limited playing time makes him an unappealing fantasy option outside the deepest leagues.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Has tough shooting night
Pritchard finished Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets with four points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes.
Pritchard couldn't buy a basket, missing all seven of his field-goal attempts while finishing with a team-worst minus-17 rating. Despite the shooting struggles, he logged 30 minutes off the bench with Paul George (rest) unavailable, suggesting his role remains secure. Pritchard should have opportunities to bounce back, but his offensive inconsistency has been frustrating for fantasy managers.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Goes cold from deep
Hauser totaled two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets.
Hauser failed to connect on any of his five three-point attempts as Boston struggled from long range, shooting just 28.6 percent as a team. The sharpshooter has a narrow fantasy profile built primarily around perimeter scoring, making outings like Monday's particularly damaging to his value.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Solid effort in loss
Queta posted 16 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets.
Queta was one of Boston's few reliable offensive contributors, finishing second on the team in scoring while missing just one field-goal attempt. He also collected four offensive rebounds, though he failed to record a block for the first time in two games. With Mitchell Robinson and Luka Garza combining for 33 minutes off the bench, Queta's playing time remains somewhat limited despite his starting role.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Struggles from downtown
Tatum totaled 19 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-93 loss to Houston.
Tatum struggled to get his shot to fall but still managed to lead Boston in scoring. He's hitting at a clip of 23.1 percent from deep over his last four matchups, though that hasn't prevented him from tallying 20-plus points in three of the four showings. Tatum has also managed to find success as a playmaker, as he's now averaging 7.9 dimes in seven games this season.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Returns Monday
Robinson (thumb) returned to Monday's game against the Rockets with 5:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.
Robinson headed back to the locker room in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Likely to return Monday
Robinson (thumb) is probable to return to Monday's game against the Rockets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Robinson exited Monday's contest in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. However, the big man is expected to check back in.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Exits to locker room
Robinson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
It's unclear exactly why Robinson headed back to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If he's unable to return, Luka Garza would likely see increased burn.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Coming off bench Monday
Robinson (rest) won't start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
After sitting out Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando to rest, Robinson will play and come off the bench for the first time in 2026-27. Neemias Queta will get a second consecutive start, while Luka Garza will likely see his minutes reduced substantially.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Starting Monday
Scheierman will start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Scheierman will earn his first start of the season after scoring a season-high 10 points in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando. Hugo Gonzalez will slide back to the bench after starting the first leg of this back-to-back for Boston.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Available to play
Robinson (rest) is not listed on the Celtics' injury report ahead of Monday's game against Houston.
Robinson's absence from the injury report suggests he'll be available Monday. His potential return would bolster Boston's frontcourt depth, though his minutes and role will be worth monitoring.

Celtics' Paul George: Will sit out Monday
George will be rested Monday against Houston.
There's no injury to report and this appears to be a planned maintenance day for the veteran. With George on the shelf, the Celtics will need guys like Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman to absorb more minutes.

Celtics' Luka Garza: Solid production off bench
Garza tallied 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 108-97 win over the Magic.
Garza made an efficient contribution in limited action, setting a new season-high mark in scoring while also putting up solid peripheral contributions in other categories. He's likely to remain the No. 3 center behind Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson, so even if he has solid contributions like Sunday's, his fantasy upside will remain close to minimal. His reserve role and modest playing time limit his fantasy reliability, making him more appealing in deeper leagues.

Celtics' Derrick White: Scores 12 points Sunday
White registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 win over the Magic.
White has been underwhelming to start the season, and fantasy managers likely expected better numbers from the veteran combo guard. While White continues to see steady playing time above 30 minutes, reaching that mark in four of his six appearances, he has scored 15-plus points just twice. White's defensive activity and three-point shooting provide a useful foundation, but his scoring numbers are down compared to recent years -- he's averaging just 11.8 points per game, and that would be his lowest mark since joining the Celtics in the 2021-22 season.

Celtics' Paul George: Loaded stat line Sunday
George posted 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks across 33 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 win over the Magic.
George didn't have his best shooting performance, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook it, given his excellent multi-category output. His eight assists and four combined defensive stats helped offset a relatively modest scoring total, while his 33-minute workload reinforced his importance alongside Jayson Tatum. George's versatility continues to provide a strong fantasy foundation even when his shot isn't falling consistently. In six appearances this season, George has averaged 20.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.3 steals per contest.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Scores game-high 32 points in win
Tatum racked up 32 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-17 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 victory over the Magic.
Tatum went back to the locker room after bumping heads with Jamal Cain in the first quarter, but the Celtics' superstar was able to return and recorded his third 30-plus point outing of the season. Tatum made another massive impact from the charity stripe, attempting 17 or more free throws for the second time in 2026-27, and has now dished out at least six assists in every contest. His struggles from beyond the arc continued, however, but he'll continue providing contributions across the board as the unquestioned leader in Boston.
