Fantasy Impact

Minott exploded for the best game of his career on Wednesday, shooting 66.7% from the floor to finish with 21 points and tying a season-high with three steals. Despite this performance, his playing time has been sporadic this season, making it difficult to start him until he shows more consistency.

After falling one rebound shy of a double-double in his first start as a Celtic on Monday, Minott was even better on the glass against Cleveland. His 14 rebounds marked a new career-high and just the second double-digit rebound game of his career (the first was on February 8, 2023). Hugo González, whom Minott replaced in the starting lineup, played only three minutes. Rostered in just three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Minott is currently providing top-50 fantasy value. While that pace may not be sustainable, his move into the starting lineup makes him worth a look in deep leagues.

Josh Minott has agreed to a two-year, $5 million deal with the Celtics.
