Impact Stevens has been an inconsistent part of Boston's rotation this season, averaging 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 6.4 minutes across 19 appearances. However, the 26-year-old forward should receive increased playing time on a Grizzlies team that has been ravaged by injuries.

Scores eight points in loss Stevens amassed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist in eight minutes during Saturday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Stevens matched his season-high of eight points, playing additional minutes as the Celtics threw in the towel early. Although he has popped up on the stat sheet sporadically over the past few weeks, fantasy managers need not concern themselves with Stevens given his current role.

Dealing with illness Stevens is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Stevens has been the beneficiary of injuries as of late, seeing minutes in five of the last six games. With Al Horford and Luke Kornet (adductor, probable) likely back in the lineup, the rotation doesn't figure to be impacted much if Stevens is unable to go.

Makes Celtics debut Monday night Stevens ended with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across six minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Wizards.

Impact Stevens entered the contest well after Boston had earned a big lead versus the talent-challenged Wizards. But, he played well during his limited run. After averaging 18 minutes per game in Cleveland last season, it was a bit of a surprise for Stevens to receive DNP-Coach's Decisions in both of Boston's first two games. The 6-foot-6 forward is buried on the depth chart behind stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown as well as reserves Al Horford, Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett. But Stevens' proven track record implies he'll receive slightly more playing time once familiar with the Celtics' system.
