Celtics' Lonnie Walker: Scores 20 points Sunday
Walker scored 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and dished out one assist across 30 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.
Walker was one of several Boston players who took advantage of the opportunity to see regular minutes Sunday, but that's not going to be the case in the regular season. Walker will fight for backup minutes, meaning he shouldn't have an established role or a lot of fantasy upside.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Hands out nine dimes
Pritchard delivered 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds and nine assists across 24 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.
Pritchard had an excellent showing, and there's no question he took advantage of the opportunity after the Celtics decided to rest several players who featured in the win over the 76ers on Saturday. He will be the backup guard behind Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, but given how the Celtics' rotation is currently constructed, Pritchard is not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside outside of being a streaming alternative in deep formats.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Double-doubles in win Sunday
Queta posted 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and a block across 21 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.
The Celtics rested the entire group that started Saturday's huge win over the 76ers, and Queta certainly took advantage of his opportunity. However, as good as he looked in this win, Queta isn't likely to have a prominent role in the rotation, and his best bet at seeing the court regularly would be to beat Xavier Tillman for the backup role behind Al Horford and Luke Kornet while Kristaps Porzingis (foot) remains sidelined.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Not playing Sunday
Coach Joe Mazzulla said Kornet (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) unavailable and Al Horford resting, Kornet has been Boston's starting center during the preseason, but he'll get a night off Sunday. Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta and Dmytro Skapintsev are all candidates for increased roles in Kornet's absence.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Double-doubles in blowout win
Tatum had 16 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3PT, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over the 76ers.
Tatum was in cruise control, taking advantage of a favorable matchup by racking up a double-double in quick time. This was basically a training run for the Celtics, facing off against a vastly undermanned 76ers squad. Tatum is who he is at this point in his career, but he will be looking to expand his game even further as Boston looks to reach the summit once again. He is a safe target in the mid-to-late first round of drafts.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Lands five triples in win
Hauser produced 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3PT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 13 minutes during Saturday's 139-89 preseason win over the 76ers.
Hauser did his damage in just 13 minutes, torching the undermanned 76ers from the perimeter. Despite his limited offerings, Hauser should once again be a viable streaming option for those in need of three-point production, even in 12-team leagues.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Another strong performance
Kornet amassed 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over the 76ers.
Kornet continues to play well as the fill-in starter, flirting with a double-double in just 18 minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) slated to miss up to two months of action and Al Horford dealing with age limitations, Kornet could be an intriguing streaming consideration, even in standard formats. Whenever Horford is given the night off, Kornet's familiarity with the offense and fantasy-friendly skill set could make him worth a pick up for short stretches.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Notches 15 points
Hauser logged 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 16 minutes of Sunday's 130-104 preseason win over Denver.
Hauser always has the green light for Boston and is expected to be a key reserve for them this season due to his sharpshooting. In 79 regular-season contests in 2023-24, Hauser averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 triples and 0.5 steals across 22.0 minutes.
