Celtics' Derrick White: Questionable for Saturday
White is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to left knee soreness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
White was limited to just three points, three rebounds and three assists in Thursday's loss to the Lakers while logging 19 minutes, and perhaps his knee soreness had something to do with the low minute total he endured. If he's out, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are options to enter the starting lineup.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Solid performance in limited run
Queta chipped in six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across nine minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Queta tied the game-high mark in steals while putting together a respectable outing in his limited run. The 25-year-old has operated in a fairly inconsistent role throughout the season. Over his last five appearances, he has averaged 5.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Scoring woes continue
Brown totaled 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Brown's numbers continue to trend in the wrong direction. He is averaging 23.0 points per game this season, but he's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in four of his last seven contests. Over that stretch, the star forward is averaging 18.4 points per game while shooting a subpar 40.2 percent from the floor.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Limited to 16 points
Tatum produced 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Tatum didn't shoot the ball particularly poorly Thursday, but it seemed to be an off night for the entire Celtics offense, as they succumbed to a 21-point defeat in the second leg of a back-to-back set. The star forward, named to the 2025 All-Star Game on Thursday, has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last eight appearances. However, he's still putting up 23.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that stretch.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Scores 22 points in return
Porzingis contributed 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.
Porzingis missed the 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers on Wednesday due to an illness, and he led Boston in scoring in this blowout loss. The big man has scored at least 20 points in three of his last seven outings, but perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he's notched at least 18 points in each of his past eight appearances. Despite playing a secondary role on offense behind the star duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Porzingis is making the most of his role and touches every time he steps on the hardwood. He should remain a solid fantasy contributor across all formats whenever he steps on the hardwood.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Back to bench Thursday
Kornet will return to a bench role for the Celtics in Thursday's game against the Lakers.
After starting Wednesday's win against the Clippers, Kornet will assume his usual role off the bench. Boston is getting key players back for this matchup. The 29-year-old big man had a forgettable performance Wednesday, finishing with two points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Returning to bench role
Hauser is not starting Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Hauser made a spot start in Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers, notching 15 points, four rebounds and a steal across 25 minutes. However, he'll return to the bench here due to Jrue Holiday (shoulder) being back in the mix. Hauser is averaging 6.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Will play Thursday
Holiday (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday sat out of Wednesday's win against the Clippers but will return to the floor to face the Lakers in Los Angeles. Although the veteran guard's numbers are down across the board, the 34-year-old is still a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game for Boston this season.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Set to play Thursday
Porzingis (illness) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Porzingis will return to action Thursday after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. The 29-year-old big man should reclaim his starting spot from Luke Kornet against Los Angeles.

Celtics' Al Horford: Good to go Thursday
Horford (toe) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Horford has missed two of the last three games while dealing with a toe injury but will return to the floor Thursday to face the arch-rival Lakers. The veteran big man has struggled this season for the Celtics, averaging career-low numbers in points (8.4), rebounds (5.3) and assists (2.1).

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Officially good to go
Brown (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
As expected, Brown is set to play Thursday despite dealing with an ankle issue. Brown is averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Celtics' Jaden Springer: Critical role in overtime win
Springer ended with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four steals across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers.
All four of Springer's team-high four steals came in the second half of Wednesday's overtime win over the Clippers. Springer's two three-pointers were also his first two of the season, with one coming in the final minute of overtime to extend Boston's lead to five.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Stuffs stat sheet in OT win
Tatum chipped in 24 points (9-22 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 43 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime victory over the Clippers.
Tatum didn't have his best shooting performance, but he compensated for the lack of efficiency with a strong all-around showing, as he ended two assists and three rebounds away from recording a triple-double. Tatum is the Celtics' primary offensive weapon and is having an outstanding season once again. He's averaging 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Scores 15 points in spot start
Hauser finished Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers with 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes.
Hauser got the starting nod Wednesday due to the absence of Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and made the most of the opportunity while showing how dangerous he can be from three-point range. Hauser is averaging 10.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 45.7 percent from deep as a starter, and he should experience a considerable uptick in fantasy if he remains in that role. However, that'll be determined by Holiday's return date.

Celtics' Derrick White: Puts up 20 points in OT win
White had 20 points (7-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers.
White has been very inconsistent with his scoring figures of late, and while he's posted at least 20 points in two of his last three outings, it's worth noting he's also notched four single-digit scoring outputs over his last seven appearances. White often plays a secondary role in the Celtics' offensive scheme, but fantasy managers would certainly welcome an uptick in his overall scoring numbers going forward.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Expects to play through ankle issue
Brown said after Wednesday's 117-113 overtime win over the Clippers that he rolled an ankle during the game, but he expects to play Thursday versus the Lakers, Bobby Manning of CLNSMedia.com reports.
Despite getting banged up at some point during Wednesday's contest, Brown played 39 minutes and finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block. Brown's ability to finish out the contest in addition to his postgame comments suggest that his ankle injury isn't anything too worrisome, though it wouldn't be too surprising if the Celtics chose to exercise some caution with the 28-year-old forward by holding him out for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Expect the Celtics to provide a more official word on Brown's status when they release their next injury report a few hours prior to Thursday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff.
