Luke Kornet - Scores 19 points vs. CharlotteKornet finished with 19 points (6-6 FG, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Hornets.
ImpactKornet was in the Celtics' starting lineup for a second straight game Saturday as Jaylen Brown was sidelined with a hip injury. Kornet used his size advantage effectively against the Hornets to score a season-high 19 points, which was his highest scoring output in the regular season since Dec. 29 against the Raptors (20). Kornet will go back to the bench once Brown returns from his injury, but the former should see some starts during the regular season on back-to-backs where Horford will typically rest in one of those contests.

Payton Pritchard - Lethal from deep SaturdayPritchard logged 22 points (8-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over Charlotte.
ImpactPritchard continued his strong play off the bench Saturday, and he had the ball in his hands more due to Jaylen Brown (hip) being sidelined. Pritchard hit five of his six threes in the first quarter, and he finished Saturday's game as the Celtics' second-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (29). Through the first seven games of the regular season, Pritchard is averaging 15.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals across 27.9 minutes per contest.

Jayson Tatum - Team-high 29 points vs. CharlotteTatum supplied 29 points (7-15 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 14-17 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Hornets.
ImpactTatum was the focal point of the Celtics' offense Saturday as Jaylen Brown (hip) was sidelined. Tatum did most of his damage from the charity stripe as he shot a season-high 17 free throw attempts in the win. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Tatum is averaging 303.3 points on 48.2 percent shooting, 7.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals over 35.1 minutes per game.

Brandon Miller - Shoots poorly, but fills up box scoreMiller (glute) scored 16 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Celtic...
ImpactIn his return from a four-game absence due to the left glute strain he suffered in the Hornets' Oct. 23 season opener, Miller wasn't operating with many restrictions, as he narrowly edged out Miles Bridges for third on the team in playing time behind LaMelo Ball (37 minutes) and Grant Williams (34 minutes). Miller inflicted damage on fantasy managers' percentages in his second appearance of the season, but his 26.8 percent usage rate and strong contributions across the stat sheet were encouraging takeaways. In his second season, Miller could be primed to usurp Bridges as the Hornets' No. 2 option behind Ball.
