Jakob Poeltl - Perfect shooting night in winPoeltl recorded 16 points (8-8 FG), 11 boards, two assists and a block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 110-97 win over the Celtics.

ImpactPoeltl put together his 16th double-double of the season Wednesday, and he's now got two in as many games. Efficient shooting is nothing new for the big man shooting 61.3 percent, but Wednesday's game marked the first time this season he's gone perfect from the field. Although backup center Chris Boucher has been making waves of late, Poeltl's still got the starting spot locked up and is liable to record a double-double on any given night.

RJ Barrett - Flirts with triple-double in winBarrett put up 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 boards, eight assists, one steal and one block through 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.

ImpactThe star forward put together his fourth double-double of the season and fell just two assists short of his third triple-double this year in an inspired effort against the powerhouse Celtics. He's been a reliable fantasy option all year, but his production had dipped going into Wednesday's outing, as he was averaging 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the four games prior. He'll look to keep building off the strong showing Friday against the Bucks.

Davion Mitchell - Stuffs stat sheet as starterMitchell logged 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals in the 110-97 win over the Celtics on Wednesday.

ImpactWith Immanuel Quickley (groin) missing his second straight game, Mitchell got another opportunity to start. Unlike Monday's win over the Warriors in which he failed to score, Mitchell took full advantage of the expanded role Wednesday, putting up his highest points total since mid-December. Quickley remains day-to-day, but Mitchell's productivity is hard to trust even if he stays in the first unit, since RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes soak up most of the offensive volume. His next chance to start comes Friday against the Bucks.

Kristaps Porzingis - Flirts with double-double in lossPorzingis finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 3Pt), eight boards, three assists, two blocks and a steal through 35 minutes in Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.

ImpactPrior to Wednesday's contest, the veteran big man had logged three straight double-doubles. Against the Raptors he narrowly missed out on what would've been his fourth, but contributed on the defensive side of the ball as well to round out a nice showing from a fantasy perspective. He's back in action Friday against the Magic.

Payton Pritchard - Bounces back with 20 points in lossPritchard posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, two boards and a steal in 31 minutes of action in the 110-97 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

ImpactThe fifth-year guard averaged just 5.8 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds on 21.7 percent shooting from deep over the four games prior to Wednesday's contest, but was able to find his form against the Raptors. He finished as the team's leading scorer in the loss and came away with his second 20-point performance of the month to this point. Pritchard will look to build off this outing Friday against the Magic, although it's worth noting he only had seven points, three rebounds and one assist in their last meeting.

Jayson Tatum - Near triple-double in lossTatum put up 16 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

ImpactThe star forward had one of his least efficient games of the year, but was able to salvage his day and record a more than respectable fantasy performance nonetheless, stuffing the stat sheet for his 19th double-double of the season. He also fell just three assists short of what would've been his second triple-double this year. He'll look to regain his form Friday against the Magic.
