Celtics' Luka Garza: Another strong showing
Garza produced 12 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes of Friday's 107-105 preseason loss to Toronto.
Neemias Queta made his first appearance of the preseason and was in the first unit, but he had a tough showing with five turnovers and three fouls in 17 minutes. Garza was far more impactful off the bench, and he was coming off a double-double in the preseason opener versus Memphis. While Queta seems to have the edge for now, Garza is making a concerted effort to become more involved.

Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Notches 18 points
Simons logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, two rebounds and three turnovers across 26 minutes of Friday's 107-105 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Simons started this game alongside Payton Pritchard with the Celtics resting all three of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown and Sam Hauser. Simons finished second on the team in shot attempts and saw plenty of usage. He projects to be the sixth man for Boston this season, and it will be interesting to see how he embraces the role -- coach Joe Mazulla is going to challenge him to become more engaged on the defensive end.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Scores 13 points in loss
Minott logged 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one steal and one block across 26 minutes of Friday's 107-105 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Derrick White were rested Friday, allowing Minott to get a look with the first unit. Minott has made a strong case to be in the rotation on Opening Night through two preseason games, posting averages of 10.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Scores 19 points on 17 shots
Pritchard recorded 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three triples, one steal and three turnovers across 26 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Raptors.
There will be a lot of offense to fill in Boston this upcoming season with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) watching from the sidelines, and Pritchard will be one of the key guys being asked to step it up. He was a top-80 player while averaging just 28.4 minutes per game last season, so he should see a boost with an expanded role in Boston.

Celtics' Chris Boucher: Scores 19 points with full line
Boucher scored 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) during Friday's preseason loss to the Raptors, adding nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two turnovers across 23 minutes.
Boucher has started the first two preseason games for Boston, so it'll be interesting to see if he remains a starter for Sunday's game against the Cavs. If he can open the season as a starter in Boston, he could provide some low-end value in deep leagues, but he'll be inconsistent.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Doesn't play Friday
Walsh (groin) didn't play during Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
Walsh suffered an adductor injury during Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies and didn't return to the contest. Although seemingly available, Walsh didn't get on the floor Friday, as he's likely still dealing with the injury. The next chance for him to play will be Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Out of starting lineup vs. Toronto
Hauser is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear if Hauser is available off the bench or if he's getting the night off altogether, although it's likely that the latter is the case. Boston's next exhibition contest is Sunday against Cleveland. Josh Minott will get a chance in the first unit Friday.

Celtics' Derrick White: Not in starting lineup Friday
White is not starting in Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
It looks to be a maintenance day for the star guard, who likely won't be available Friday. Anfernee Simons and Payton Pritchard will fill out the backcourt against Toronto, and White will look to return in Sunday's exhibition matchup against the Cavaliers.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Won't play vs. Toronto
Brown (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
After dropping 21 points in 20 minutes during Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Brown will get the day off Friday for rest purposes. It's uncertain what Brown's status will be for the final two preseason games.

Celtics' Josh Minott: With first unit Friday
Minott is starting in Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
Boston will give Minott a rare opportunity to play with the first unit Friday. However, the swingman will likely be a bench player for the Celtics to begin the regular season.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Starting vs. Toronto
Pritchard is starting in Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
The Celtics will give Pritchard a look in the first unit Friday. The sharpshooter will likely open the regular season in a reserve capacity. Still, it's safe to say Pritchard will have a significant playmaking role for a Boston team that will be without Jayson Tatum (Achilles) for most of the season.

Celtics' Anfernee Simons: Will start Friday
Simons will be in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
Simons will make his preseason debut with his new squad. He'll start alongside Payton Pritchard, Josh Minott, Chris Boucher and Neemias Queta to get his stint with Boston underway.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Will start Friday
Queta (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors.
After missing Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Queta will be back on the floor. He joins Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott and Chris Boucher in the first five.

Celtics' Chris Boucher: Struggles from deep in win
Boucher finished with 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one steal and one block across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Boucher couldn't get it going from beyond the arc, as he hit only one of his six attempts from deep as a starter during this preseason matchup. He did make somewhat of an impact defensively, however.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Shooting woes in win
Scheierman finished with 13 points (3-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 121-103 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Scheierman struggled in the shooting department, going 23 percent from the field. However, he did make an impact in other areas, putting in some work on the glass and on the defensive end of the floor.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Scores 21 points in win
Brown tallied 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and one rebound across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-103 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Brown matched Jaylen Wells with a game-high point total during this blowout win on the road. Brown is still working his way back from offseason knee surgery, but this preseason performance is a good sign that he's back to form ahead of the start of the regular season Oct. 22 against the 76ers.

Celtics' Derrick White: Double-doubles in preseason win
White logged 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt), 10 assists, three rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 27 minutes of Thursday's 121-103 preseason win over Memphis.
White comfortably led the team in shot attempts Wednesday and handled the bulk of the playmaking reps as well. With the Celtics overhauling their roster over the summer, combined with Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury, White is set up to soak up a ton of usage this season in what could be a career-best campaign.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Boston optimistic about return
The Celtics have not ruled Tatum (Achilles) out for the 2025-26 season, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday.
Charania adds that the Celtics are "cautiously optimistic" about Tatum returning later in the season. Tatum himself is on record saying he isn't ruling out a return, and by all accounts, his rehab is going swimmingly. "Clearly Jayson Tatum has a goal in his mind that he wants to play," Charania said. "Whether he can get there by the time we're in February, March or April, we'll see." How Boston performs this season is likely to factor into Tatum's decision as well, making this an intriguing storyline to watch.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Logs 18 minutes in starting role
Hauser closed with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 18 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over Memphis.
As expected, Hauser was given the starting nod Wednesday, a role he figures to play come Opening Night. Having moved on from a number of its veterans, Boston will be looking to develop its role players this season. Barring any major setbacks, Hauser should be in line to play upwards of 28 minutes per night, perhaps even pushing into the low-30s, if he can prove himself. He should be a reliable source of three-pointers, while his defensive contributions could end up being slightly above average.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Impressive two-way performance
Minott compiled eight points (4-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-103 preseason win over Memphis.
Minott was one of only two Boston players to see at least 25 minutes, making the most of his opportunity with an impressive two-way performance. Coming over from Minnesota during the offseason, Minott finds himself in a favorable position after years of playing as nothing more than a depth piece. While his exact role is unclear, a performance like this is unlikely to go unnoticed. Outside of Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Sam Hauser, the nightly rotation is anyone's guess. Minott is worth keeping an eye on, just in case he carves out a 25-minute per-night role.
