Celtics look to break out of slump vs. WolvesThe slumping Boston Celtics will attempt to avoid back-to-back losses when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis on Wednesday...
Alperen Sengun - Questionable vs. LakersSengun (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Lakers.
ImpactA strained left groin kept Sengun out of Monday's upset victory over the Celtics, which was the center's first absence since Jan. 28. Tari Eason would presumably draw another start if Sengun is sidelined Wednesday.

Payton Pritchard - Out againPritchard (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.
ImpactAs expected, Pritchard remains sidelined due to left knee soreness. Head coach Joe Mazzulla previously said that the backup point guard could miss the Celtics' entire six-game road trip, which ends March 21, so barring a new update, fantasy managers should steer clear of Pritchard for the time being.

Robert Williams III - Still sidelined against MinnesotaWilliams (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ImpactWilliams will miss his sixth straight game Wednesday due to a left hamstring strain. Mike Muscala and Blake Griffin should continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Williams' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Portland.

Kenyon Martin Jr. - Plays season-high 40 minutesMartin supplied 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 40 minutes in Monday's 111-109 win over Boston.
ImpactThe 40 minutes were a new season high for Martin, who may have benefited to some degree from Jabari Smith playing exclusively at center while Alperen Sengun (groin) was sidelined. Given that Sengun was initially listed as probable before being ruled out shortly before the opening tip, he has a good chance at returning to action Wednesday versus the Lakers, but Martin shouldn't be headed for too dramatic of a downturn in playing time. Prior to Monday, Martin had played no fewer than 27 minutes in any of his 26 appearances since entering the starting five, and he averaged 14.5 points and 6.7 rebounds and shot 57.3 percent from the field over that stretch.
