Efficient performance off bench Harper notched 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 loss to San Antonio.
Impact Harper made the most of his minutes off the bench Tuesday and thrived in the matchup against his brother, Dylan Harper, who plays for the Spurs. The older Harper delivered his best game of the season by a wide margin Tuesday -- for the sake of comparison, his previous season-high scoring mark was 11 points, and this was just the second time he posted double-digit points in 2025-26. Despite the impressive performance Tuesday, Harper is not a player worth targeting in most fantasy formats since he doesn't have much of a role in the rotation. Through 19 appearances and two starts, he's averaging 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists on a mere 11.9 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Impressive in first NBA start Harper registered 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Boston's 114-93 win over Houston on Wednesday.
Impact Harper has spent the vast majority of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics. Despite appearing in just seven games with Boston prior to Wednesday's contest, head coach Joe Mazulla gave Harper the starting nod for the first time in the latter's NBA career due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee). Harper took advantage of the opportunity, showcasing his energy with four offensive rebounds while showing his range from beyond the arc. Brown will likely be back for Friday's game against the Heat, but Harper's performance against Houston may have earned him some rotational minutes in the short term.

Impact Harper logged six minutes during garbage time, making an appearance for just the fifth time this season. With Boston likely pushing for a playoff spot, there is almost no way Harper will be able to force himself into the nightly rotation, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.
