Jaylen Brown - Struggles against Cavaliers Brown racked up 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Brown's inefficiency shouldn't alarm fantasy owners, as the Cavaliers allow the fewest points per game in the NBA at 106.7. The star guard is averaging 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.6 minutes across his previous 10 appearances, so this should be viewed as a blip on the radar.

Malcolm Brogdon - Muted production against Cavaliers Brogdon ended Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes.
Impact Brogdon has topped 20 points in four of his last six appearances, but he's been held to five or fewer points during his other two outings over that stretch. The 30-year-old mustered just five field-goal attempts Wednesday and could not generate much production in secondary categories. Brogdon's upside has been on display in recent weeks, but his continued bench role means there will also be lackluster performances, as shown by Wednesday's stat line.

Grant Williams - Falls out of rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact With Jaylen Brown (personal) returning from a one-game absence, Boston had all of its key players available for one of the few occasions all season. Due to Cleveland keeping the game competitive until the bitter end, all five of the Boston starters logged 30-plus-minutes, but it was still surprising that head coach Joe Mazzulla opted not to turn to Williams off the bench behind sixth man Derrick White (25 minutes) and seventh man Malcolm Brogdon (23 minutes). Instead, Mazzulla turned to Mike Muscala (11 minutes) and Sam Hauser (nine minutes) to round out a tight nine-man rotation, resulting in Williams failing to see the court for the first time since Oct. 28, when he sat out while serving a suspension. It's uncertain if Williams will regularly find himself outside of the rotation moving forward, but it's clear that his playing time will be suppressed now that the Celtics are back to full strength.

Robert Williams III - Strong all-around outing Williams contributed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Williams was perfect from the field, active on the glass and helpful on the defensive end, as he had one of his most complete performances of the campaign. His fantasy upside is limited since he plays a secondary role on the offensive end, but he is still valuable in most formats due to his role as a starter and his contributions in other categories. Williams is averaging 9.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per game since the start of February.

Al Horford - Delivers double-double in win Horford produced 23 points (8-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Horford continues to produce despite being one of the most veteran players in the league. He had an impressive performance Wednesday while going up against one of the best big men duos in Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The 23-point output was a season-high mark for Horford, and he ended just one rebound shy of tying his season-best mark in that category.
MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jayson Tatum - Sniffs triple-double in win Tatum contributed 41 points (13-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
Impact Tatum went head-to-head with Donovan Mitchell in a battle of two of the best players in the Eastern Conference, and the Celtics star was absolutely filthy, reaching the 40-point mark for the first time since Feb. 10 and also ending just two assists away from recording a triple-double. Tatum is making a case to be the MVP this season and is averaging 26.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game since the beginning of February, leading the Celtics to an 8-3 record in that span.
