  • 105-70-5 4th Place
    • Misses out on double-double
      Gafford amassed 11 points (3-3 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: With the return of Dereck Lively, Gafford saw his playing time decrease from 31 minutes in Game 4 to 20 in Game 5. Regardless, Gafford was able to maintain his productivity, recording at least one block for the 11th straight contest. The 24-year-old big averaged 10.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 24.4 minutes across the five games in the Western Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:04 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford plays playoff-high 31 minutes
      Daniel Gafford shot 6-of-6 from the field in Tuesday’s Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 12 points with eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and three blocked shots in 31 minutes.

      Advice: With Dereck Lively II out with a sprained neck, it was evident that Gafford’s minutes would increase. The 31 minutes he played on Tuesday are the most for DG this postseason, and he was productive as a finisher, rebounder, and rim protector. Maxi Kleber played 13 of the remaining minutes, finishing with two points, one rebound, and one assist in his first game back from a separated shoulder. His minutes in Game 5 will be impacted by the status of Lively, who is trending toward being available to play on Thursday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:09 pm
       
    • Sniffs double-double in Game 4
      Holiday ended Monday's 105-102 victory over the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals with 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes.

      Advice: Holiday was deemed available despite being initially tabbed questionable due to an illness for the second game in a row, and he made his presence felt as a do-it-all, two-way guard in an offensive scheme in which he occupies a secondary role. Despite the fact Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown often carry the Celtics, Holiday had some excellent performances against the Pacers, averaging 18.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game in the series.

    • Obi Toppin hits two 3-pointers, scores 12 points
      Obi Toppin logged 29 minutes in Monday’s 105-102 loss to Boston, recording a stat line of 12 points (5-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Toppin reached double figures in three of the four games in the Eastern Conference Finals, combining with T.J. McConnell to provide solid production off the bench. Game 3 of the Pacers’ first-round series against the Bucks is when the former lottery pick’s output picked up, and the timing was good with Toppin set to be a restricted free agent this summer. Re-signing Pascal Siakam will be Indiana’s top priority this offseason, so seeing where that leaves Toppin will be interesting. If he winds up in a spot where he can potentially start, that would boost his fantasy value. However, staying with the Pacers would be best in terms of the opportunity to win and potentially contend in the East. Rotoworld Monday, 8:44 pm
       
    • Jrue Holiday (illness) available for Game 4 Monday
      Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) is available for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: As was the case with Game 3 on Saturday, Holiday is available after the Celtics listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. He will take on his usual duties as a starter alongside Derrick White. Holiday played 35 minutes in Game 3, making crucial plays on both ends of the floor to help Boston complete a comeback from 18 points down. Rotoworld Monday, 3:32 pm
       
    • Ready to go for Game 4
      Holiday (illness) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Holiday made it through morning shootaround without issue and has now been given the green light to take the court Monday evening. He didn't face any type of restriction in Game 3 (38 minutes) and should be a full go as the Celtics aim for a series sweep. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:19 pm
       
    • Participates in shootaround
      Holiday (illness) participated in the Celtics' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Dan Roche of WBZ-TV reports.

      Advice: Holiday is questionable for Monday's matchup due to an illness, but his participation in shootaround is encouraging. He was considered a game-time decision for Saturday's Game 3 before tallying 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in 38 minutes. If he's available Monday, it seems likely that he'll be able to handle a full workload as the Celtics attempt to close out the series. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:00 am
       
    • Jrue Holiday (illness) questionable for Game 4
      Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Holiday was also questionable for Game 3 before being cleared to play. And he was highly impactful in the Celtics’ comeback victory, making decisive plays on both ends of the floor in the final minute. Look for Holiday to be a game-time decision for Game 4, and it would be surprising if he does not play. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:03 pm
       
    • Deemed questionable
      Holiday (illness) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers,Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Holiday was a late addition to the Celtics' injury report for Game 3 due to sickness but ended up playing 38 minutes in the win. Considering Boston could clinch a spot in the Finals with a win, Holiday should be expected to play through the illness -- assuming his condition hasn't worsened. The veteran point guard is averaging 19.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game during the series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:18 pm
