Payton Pritchard - Out Saturday Pritchard (heel) will not play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Pritchard will miss a sixth straight game Saturday with left heel soreness. Although he could return Tuesday against Sacramento, coach Joe Mazzulla has indicated that Pritchard may be out for the entirety of the Celtics' road trip, so Friday against Indiana could be a more feasible timeline.

Al Horford - Ruled out Saturday Horford (back) will not play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Horford teased fantasy managers by saying there was "definitely a possibility" he would play in Saturday's game, but he will wind up on the sidelines due to back soreness. Horford has not played both ends of a back-to-back set this season for Boston, and his absence should allow for Blake Griffin, Grant Williams and Mike Muscala to see expanded roles. Horford appears likely to be back in action Tuesday against Sacramento.

Marcus Smart - Out with bruised hip Smart is out for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz due to a bruised right hip, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Impact Smart joins a list of inactives including Al Horford (back), Robert Williams (hamstring) and Payton Pritchard (heel). In the backcourt, Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon should see extra usage.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Malcolm Brogdon - Absent from injury report Brogdon (Achilles) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Brogdon was ruled out for Friday's game after initially being listed as probable with right Achilles soreness but should be a full-go for Saturday's tilt. He will likely take on a larger role with Marcus Smart (hip) sidelined for the contest and could make an appearance in the starting lineup.

Jaylen Brown - Highly efficient down stretch Brown racked up 27 points (12-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over Portland.
Impact Brown operated as the team's closer in the fourth quarter, knocking down five of six shots for 12 points as the Celtics won their second straight on the road. The shooting guard was highly efficient in the second half, going 7-of-10 from the field for 16 points after shooting just 38.5 percent through the first two quarters. Brown has been a scoring machine of late, averaging 32.2 points per game over his last four outings on a very solid 55.5 percent shooting from the floor.

Al Horford - Could play Saturday Horford said there's "definitely a possibility" he plays in Saturday's closing leg of a back-to-back set against the Jazz, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Impact Horford has sat out at least one leg of every back-to-back this season but indicated Friday that he might suit up for Saturday's tilt. Although his statement is encouraging, fantasy managers should keep an eye out for the Celtics' initial injury report for a better idea of Horford's availability.

Jayson Tatum - Team-high 34 points, 12 boards Tatum accumulated 34 points (8-20 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 16-18 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over Portland.
Impact Tatum had a solid first half shooting the ball, knocking down five of 10 shot attempts and eight of nine free throws for 19 points at the break. The small forward would struggle from the field throughout the second half, however, going just 3-of-10 for another 15 points while adding seven boards and two assists. Despite those struggles, Tatum still finished with a team-high 34 points thanks to 16-of-18 shooting from the foul line, also leading the Celtics in rebounds with 12. He's now grabbed 10 or more rebounds in six of eight games this month and has shot at least 16 free throws in back-to-back contests.
