Hugo Gonzalez

González set new season-highs in both points and rebounds Monday, finishing with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), 16 rebounds, three steals, three three-pointers, two blocks, and one assist for his second double-double of the season.

He was starting in place of Jaylen Brown (illness), and his fantasy value going forward is tied directly to whether Brown can return — but performances like this one make him hard to ignore regardless.

Hugo González continued his recent ascent in Sunday’s loss to Portland, tallying 13 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, and two steals across 30 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

The 19-year-old rookie fell just one point shy of his season-high while showcasing his disruptive capabilities on the defensive end. Most importantly for fantasy managers, his workload is stabilizing; he has now played at least 27 minutes in four of his last five games since December 19. While his offensive game remains a work in progress, his high defensive floor and growing role make him a prospect to monitor closely in deeper dynasties and keeper leagues.

Hugo Gonzalez is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez is good to go as expected after being listed as probable. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Gonzalez is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies due to a minor left ankle sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. The forward sustained the injury during Tuesday’s contest against the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

Gonzalez has played a limited role for Boston this season, averaging 3.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.8 minutes per game. Barring any setbacks, he’s expected to be available off the bench Wednesday.
