Boston Celtics

Payton Pritchard led the second unit for the Celtics Friday night, scoring 24 points (8-15 FG, 4-6 3PT, 4-4 FT) while also recording one steal, dishing out one assist, and grabbing one rebound in a 98-96 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Pritchard continues an impactful stretch on the offensive end of the floor, scoring 24 or more points in four of his last five games. The guard remains a reliable option while being relegated to more of a bench role of late, averaging 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game to go along with a usage rate of 20.7% so far this season.

Nikola Vucevic posted a double-double off of the bench for the Celtics Friday night, grabbing 12 rebounds and chipping in 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT) while also dishing out four assists and recording two steals in a 98-96 win over the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Vucevic continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds and 11 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran center will look to provide a versatile Boston lineup with more stability in the frontcourt, averaging 16.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 21.4% so far this season.
