Sam Hauser - Questionable to play against Bulls Hauser (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Hauser has missed two of the Celtics' last three games due to lower back spasms. Jaden Springer saw extended playing time against the Bulls on Thursday, and he could be in line for meaningful playing time off the bench if Hauser is unable to play Saturday, as well as Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson.

Xavier Tillman Sr. - Not listed on injury report Tillman (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Tillman missed Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls with a non-COVID illness, but the big man should be ready to go for Saturday. He'll add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt, but he shouldn't see a lot of minutes if both Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis are available.

Jrue Holiday - Quiet night Thursday Holiday notched six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.
Impact It was a quiet night out of Holiday, who saw sixth man Payton Pritchard close the game Thursday instead as the trailing Celtics looked for a spark on offense in the fourth quarter. Holiday hasn't been consistent for fantasy managers lately, as he's only logged double scoring figures in five of his last nine games, a span in which he's averaging a modest 11.3 points, 4.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per contest. The 34-year-old veteran guard doesn't appear to be in much danger of losing his starting job as Boston's point guard, but Pritchard's emergence off the bench figures to cap Holiday's fantasy upside moving ahead.

Jayson Tatum - 31 points not enough in loss Tatum registered 31 points (10-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Tatum's team-high 31 points were not enough as the Celtics fell in Thursday's upset loss, but it was his 12th game with 30 points already this season. Over his last 13 games, Tatum is averaging a robust 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 26-year-old superstar forward will get another favorable matchup in Saturday's meeting with these same Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.4).

Kristaps Porzingis - Season-high 36 minutes Thursday Porzingis provided 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three blocks over 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Porzingis made his usual impact on the boards and in the scoring column, also blocking a game-high three shots, but it wasn't his best night shooting the ball. The All-Star big man is now averaging an efficient 19.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game through eight appearances so far this year. Perhaps Thursday's most important takeaway is that Porzingis played a season-high 36 minutes, which is an encouraging sign for the Celtics and fantasy managers as the center becomes further removed from offseason foot surgery this past summer.

Derrick White - Fills box score in loss White notched 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to Chicago.
Impact Although it was an inefficient shooting night, White filled up the box score Thursday as fantasy managers have grown accustomed to seeing in recent years. White has posted double-digit points in 12 of his last 13 games, a period in which he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 30-year-old combo guard should continue to be one of the more well-rounded assets for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, and there's reason to believe his shooting efficiency will improve going forward with the star-studded Celtics roster currently at full strength.
