Boston Celtics

Anfernee Simons provided a rare scoring punch for the second unit in Tuesday’s victory over Utah, tallying 20 points (6-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact: It was a flash of the past for Simons, who averaged nearly 20 points per game last season in Portland but has struggled to find his footing since joining Boston. This marked only his fifth 20-point outing of the current campaign. While the performance was encouraging, his inconsistent role and production make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy leagues, keeping him largely on the waiver wire radar rather than a must-roster status.

Derrick White delivered a masterful two-way performance in Tuesday’s victory over Utah, recording a career-high seven blocks while leading the Celtics with 27 points (8-of-16 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs). He rounded out his line with seven rebounds, six assists, and two three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact: White’s defensive impact was historic, as he controlled the paint in a way rarely seen from the guard position. This explosion highlights why he has cracked the top-25 in 9-category leagues despite shooting just under 40% from the field on the season. He has been playing at an elite level over the past few weeks and will look to keep the momentum going against the Kings on Thursday.
