Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Shooting woes from deep in win
Pritchard recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Pritchard struggled from outside while delivering his second consecutive matchup with fewer than 10 points. The sharpshooter has cooled down from outside, shooting 7-for-21 from three-point range over his last four games. However, Pritchard has delivered a spark off the bench throughout the season, and he has racked up 10 outings with 15-plus points in 17 regular-season appearances.

Celtics' Derrick White: Well-rounded performance in victory
White notched 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 victory over Minnesota.
White stuffed the stat sheet in a bounce-back outing following a 10-point performance in Friday's win over Washington, during which he shot 4-for-11 from the field. The 30-year-old set a new season high in rebounds while logging his fifth matchup with three or more combined steals-plus-blocks. White continues to prove he's one of the best shot-disrupting guards in the league, having racked up six swats over his last five appearances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Stellar from downtown in win
Brown racked up 29 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 win over Minnesota.
Brown delivered a stellar performance from beyond the arc, hitting five three-pointers in the first quarter alone after shooting only 3-for-13 from deep in Friday's win over the Wizards. The star wing has amassed eight games with 25 or more points through 13 regular-season outings. While Brown was shooting just 28.4 percent from outside prior to Sunday's win, he has since improved his three-point shooting to 32.7 percent on the season.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Solid bounce-back outing in win
Tatum notched 26 points (8-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 win over the Timberwolves.
The superstar stuffed the stat sheet following a 16-point performance in which he went 0-for-10 from three-point range during Friday's win over Washington. The 26-year-old forward finished as the Celtics' second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (29). Over his last five outings, Tatum has averaged 27.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists across 38.0 minutes per game.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Back to bench
Queta won't start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
As expected, Queta will shift back to the bench due to Al Horford returning to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness. However, with Luke Kornet (hamstring) unavailable, Queta should still see a sizable reserve role behind Horford on Sunday.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Won't play Sunday
Kornet has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves due to right hamstring tightness.
Kornet is dealing with a lingering hamstring injury and was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup. With the big man out, Neemias Queta will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench behind Al Horford.

Celtics' Al Horford: Gets green light Sunday
Horford (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Horford will return to the starting lineup after a one-game absence. The veteran big man has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from downtown across 30.6 minutes per game in his last five outings. However, Horford has missed two of the Celtics' past four games.

Celtics' Al Horford: Iffy against Minnesota
Horford (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Horford is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to an illness. If the veteran big man is downgraded to out against Minnesota, Neemias Queta will likely draw another start.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Pops for 13 points in win
Hauser contributed 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and three steals in 22 minutes during Friday's 108-96 victory over the Wizards.
Hauser scored double-digit points for the third time in the past four games, and he is possibly rounding into some shooting form after a slow start to the season. The improved play of Payton Pritchard has limited Hauser's opportunities, both in terms of playing time and production. As long as the Celtics are relatively healthy, Hauser will continue to be used as a secondary scoring piece off the bench.

Celtics' Luke Kornet: Logs 24 minutes in win
Kornet closed Friday's 108-96 win over the Wizards with six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.
Kornet played at least 24 minutes for just the second time in the past nine games, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. With Kristaps Porzingis yet to see the court, there was some belief that Kornet would assume the role as the backup center behind veteran Al Horford. However, Neemias Queta has seemingly moved ahead of Kornet in the rotation, cutting into his overall appeal even more.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in spot start
Queta ended Friday's 108-96 victory over Washington with seven points (1-3 FG, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.
Queta moved into the starting lineup after Al Horford was ruled out due to illness. Having assumed the primary backup role behind Horford, Queta was the obvious choice to run with the starters. However, his production was far from inspiring, and he was replaced by Luke Kornet to begin the second half. Although he has carved out a consistent role, Queta's upside remains relatively limited.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Returns to starting role
Queta is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Queta will get the nod at center with Al Horford (illness) sidelined. In four previous starts this season, Queta is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game.

Celtics' Al Horford: Ruled out Friday vs. Wizards
Horford (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Horford was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID illness and will miss his second game over the Celtics' last four outings. With the veteran big man out, Neemias Queta will likely draw the start with Luke Kornet seeing an uptick in playing time off the bench.
