Fantasy Impact: This becomes the largest contract in NBA history. Tatum helped lead the way to an NBA championship for the Celtics this past season. He'll remain a cornerstone of the Boston franchise moving forward as they look to run it back next season.

Oshae Brissett has declined his $2.5 million player option with the Boston Celtics for the 2024-2025 season. (Source: Evan Sidery on X)

Fantasy Impact: While Brissett provided some depth to the Celtics during their playoff run, he wasn't a consistent contributor throughout the regular season. The 26-year-old is looking to shop around for other teams with which he may see more playing time. While he could be a decent role player, he likely won't be fantasy-relevant, barring injuries.

Al Horford said he plans to return next season for his 18th season. (Source: The Athletic)

Fantasy Impact: Horford is expected to run it back with the Celtics after winning his first championship in his 17th season. He started the majority of the playoffs for Boston with Kristaps Porzingis banged up.


Jrue Holiday is available for Mondays game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA injury report)

Fantasy Impact: As was the case for Game 3, Holiday is good to go for Game 4. He'll remain in his usual role as the Celtics look to complete the sweep of Indiana.

Xavier Tillman Sr. has been listed as questionable for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Indiana Pacers due to personal reasons. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Tillman hasn't made much of an impact for the Celtics despite the Celtics missing some frontcourt depth with Kristaps Porzingis out. Tillman has only played in three games this offseason and averaged 8.3 minutes of playing time in those three games. Tillman's game status won't be a difference maker for Game 1, but it is worth monitoring to determine his teammates' playing time.

Fantasy Impact: The Celtics whole starting lineup and Al Horford will be sidelined. Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet should all see bigger roles as a result.
