Luke Kornet - Plays well in win Kornet registered seven points (1-3 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards.
Impact Kornet saw extended run with Al Horford getting the night off for rest. That's likely to happen often this season, so fantasy managers should keep Kornet in mind as a streaming option the next time that Horford sits.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Brown - Quiet in win Brown provided 11 points (4-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 victory over the Wizards.
Impact Brown had a poor showing offensively, but made up for it on the defensive end. Through six December showings, Brown has posted averages of 21.5 points, 5.3 assists, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 three-pointers, shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from beyond the arc.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Payton Pritchard - Double-double off bench Sunday Pritchard closed Sunday's 112-98 win over Washington with 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes off the bench.
Impact It was his second straight game with a double-double, although Thursday's effort came via assists and not boards. Pritchard has scored at least 15 points in eight of the last nine games while anchoring Boston's second unit, averaging 20.1 points, 5.6 boards, 4.9 threes 4.0 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor and 46.8 percent from beyond the arc.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jayson Tatum - Double-double in Sunday return Tatum contributed 28 points (12-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards.
Impact The 26-year-old forward missed the Celtics' prior game, and two of the previous four, while dealing with a sore right knee, but Tatum looked pretty healthy Sunday as he delivered his 12th double-double of the season, including four straight and five in his last six appearances. If there's evidence that Tatum is not at 100 percent right now, it's coming at the defensive end of the court, as he's gone three straight games without recording either a steal or a block -- an uncharacteristic dry spell for a player who's averaged at least 1.0 steals a game every season of his career.

Kristaps Porzingis - Doesn't return Sunday Porzingis (heel) left Sunday's game against the Wizards in the second quarter and did not return.
Impact Porzignis suffered a heel injury in the second quarter and was ultimately unable to return. He concludes the contest with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes of action. If he is forced to miss time, Al Horford (rest) and Luke Kornet are likely to see increased roles.
