Kyle: Are the Celtics the favorites to win the Championship now? This is quite the season for team that was largely aligned to let the pieces fall where they may with such a top-heavy roster and their best player out with injury most the year.
Josh: Flashed the blocks upside, but we needed Gafford and Bagley out. Keep it on the radar.
Watch Kyle: Cissa is someone to keep a side-eye on in case Gafford and Bagley are out more as we go to open conditional streaming opportunities. We're not chasing this.
Josh: Most of the damage came late, but we are clearly still holding
Kyle: Pritchard thrived with Tatum back, a reassuring performance after some duds of late.
Must Add Josh: Rough start and then it was awesome. He was on some restriction clearly as he played 6 fewer minutes than Brown, but this is still way more than I ever expected.
Must Add Kyle: Tatum impressed with massive minutes for a debut return from a torn Achilles. He is on some restrictions, and the reports before the game seemed lacking in understanding after coach Mazzulla boldly lied and said he had no idea if Tatum had any restrictions. Obviously, the coach is fully aware but unwilling to offer information like that.
Maybe Add Kyle: Queta could carry a heavier load the rest of the season with Vucevic injured.
Kyle: Klay is just conditional/specialist streamer with his modest-to-middling minutes most nights.
Watch Josh: A nice deep add if you assume Vucevic is out.
Josh: Just want him to get 26+ regularly, but Kidd is never committing to it
Droppable Kyle: Brandon was back in action with a good line, but his short minutes don't project for standards. He's someone to watch and use in deeper leagues and streaming as makes sense.
Droppable 14 teams Josh: Tatum is killing any value which was minimal anyway
Droppable Josh: Maybe I can put droppable on him every game ROS.
Droppable Kyle: Scheierman could still have conditional streaming value when the Celtics rest Tatum and others, but with Tatum healthy, BS moved to the bench and shorter minutes.
Droppable Josh: It does look like we may be cooked here. Middleton is getting preferred. Hold if you can, otherwise drop is fine
Droppable Kyle: Marshall's role has taken a hit with Flagg back and Middleton commanding decent run.
Kyle: The minutes are rising, with better lines to come.
Droppable Josh: Disappointing. It's almost like he is sometimes maybe good, sometimes shit. Make hard calls in playoffs
Droppable Josh: Too much inconsistency. Remember, droppable means not wrong to drop, not you MUST drop. But great that he played the b2b again
Droppable Kyle: Middleton would have been a lot more interesting if he'd taken a buyout and signed with a good team.
Droppable Josh: He is already droppable, but now there is a risk of multiple weeks out.
Droppable Kyle: Vucevic could easily miss the rest of the regular season, so we can drop most places.
