Celtics' Josh Minott: Not starting after all
Minott is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Nets on Tuesday.
Contrary to a previous report, Minott will remain in a reserve role while Jordan Walsh remains in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game. Minott has seen his playing time fluctuate regardless of his role, so his usage during Tuesday's game may come down to matchups and flow. He has averaged 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals over 18.8 minutes per game since Nov. 1.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Starting Tuesday
Minott is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Minott came off the bench the past two games, but he'll find himself again running with the starters for Tuesday's contest. Head coach Joe Mazzulla may tinker with his starting group throughout the year based on the matchup, but when Minott gets the call, he's a viable deep league target for his ability to rack up the boards and defensive stats.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Headed to bench
Minott will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Minott had been trending down the past three games, and he bottomed out Tuesday, logging a season-low eight minutes. It'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role Wednesday evening, but he's no longer a must-roster player in 12-team formats.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Plays season-low eight minutes
Minott posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound over eight minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 loss to Philadelphia.
Minott picked up three quick personal fouls Tuesday and was benched in favor of Jordan Walsh, then never saw the court again for the rest of the game. He was unable to redeem himself from Sunday's scoreless outing against Orlando but will look to get back on track Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Drops season-high 21 points
Minott finished with 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 win over Washington.
Minott dominated in the win, scoring a season-high 21 points, once again putting himself on the standard league radar. Despite starting the past six games, his playing time continues to frustrate fantasy managers. This was obviously an encouraging performance, but the opponent likely had something to do with that. He could be worth taking a flier on, just in case this leads to some consistent production.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Plays 15 minutes in loss
Minott finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to the Jazz.
It was another disappointing game for Minott, playing just 15 minutes despite continuing to start. While his production has been adequate, his role is simply too inconsistent to trust across most competitive fantasy leagues. He has now played fewer than 23 minutes in three straight games, scoring a total of just 14 points on 6-for-21 shooting.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Grabs eight rebounds in win
Minott contributed two points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 109-108 win over the 76ers.
While Minott was invisible on offense in this one, he was still Boston's leading rebounder and helped the Celtics win the rebounding battle 45-40. The offense may come and go, but he should be consistent with the hustle stats and looks to be locked in as a starter, which will maintain his value in deep leagues.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Double-doubles against CLE
Minott generated 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block across 33 minutes of Wednesday's 125-105 win over the Cavaliers.
Minott notched his first NBA double-double since Feb. 8, 2023. His 14 rebounds were also a career high. The 2022 second-round pick has seemingly found a home in Boston, as he's now started back-to-back games and has scored in double figures in three straight contests. Minott should continue to draw starts if he maintains this level of production.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Scores 15 points with nine boards
Minott amassed 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 122-90 win over the Pelicans.
The Celtics came into Monday night's game ranked as the second-worst rebounding team in the league, but they completely flipped the script on that narrative in this one, out-rebounding the Pelicans 54-35. Minott was a big reason why they won the battle of the boards, and he also finished with an insane plus/minus rating of plus-42, so he certainly made a case to stick as a starter. It'll be interesting to see what lineup Joe Mazzulla trots out for Wednesday's game against the Cavs.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Starting Monday
Minott will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Minott played well in 14 minutes off the bench his last time out, finishing with 10 points, one rebound, one assist, one three-pointer and three steals, so it'll be interesting to see what he can do in an expanded role Monday evening. He'll draw a favorable matchup against a Pelicans team missing some key pieces, so he's on the radar as a potential dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Drops 10 points in loss
Minott added 10 points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three steals, a rebound and an assist across 14 minutes in Sunday's 119-113 loss to Detroit.
Minott was second among the bench unit in scoring behind Anfernee Simons (12) despite playing only 14 minutes. While Minott does not yet have a consistent role within the Boston rotation (logged a DNP the previous game), turning in performances like Sunday's will benefit him as he competes with Sam Hauser, Chris Boucher and Hugo Gonzalez for minutes.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Underwhelms in opening loss
Minott chipped in two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 loss to Philadelphia.
Minott played just 14 minutes, somewhat of a letdown following a strong preseason. While there were certainly no guarantees about what Minott's role might look like, the hope was that he could crack 20 minutes. Seen as a potential flyer, fantasy managers could give him another game or two before deciding whether to part ways with him.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Scores nine points
Minott logged nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes of Wednesday's 110-108 preseason win over the Raptors.
Minott has certainly made a strong case to be in the rotation for Opening Night, and at this point, he's likely to see plenty of minutes. Through four exhibitions, Minott has averaged 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 24.9 minutes per night.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Solid preseason continues
Minott produced 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Minott continues to make a strong push for a rotation role ahead of Opening Night. Through three exhibitions, the forward holds averages of 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers on 53.6 percent shooting in 25.1 minutes per contest. He's gaining steam as a flier in deeper formats.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Shifts back to bench
Minott isn't part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against Cleveland.
Minott started Friday's exhibition against the Raptors while starters Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Derrick White rested, but with all three back in action Sunday, Minott will return to the second unit. Minott scored 13 points in 26 minutes versus Toronto.

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' 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' 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.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Gets two-year deal with Boston
Minott agreed to a two-year, $5 million contract with the Celtics on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Timberwolves declined Minott's $2.19 million team option for 2025-26 ahead of free agency, but he'll get a mild bump in pay as he moves on to the Celtics. According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, the second season of the deal is a team option. After entering the league in 2022 as a second-round pick, Minott averaged just 2.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest across 93 regular-season appearances with Minnesota over the last three seasons, but the 6-foot-8 forward turned in excellent production at the G League level in 2022-23 and 2023-24 and makes for a worthwhile flier for the Celtics. Though he may find himself outside of the rotation to begin his time in Boston, Minott should have a better chance at earning minutes with his new team than he did in Minnesota, especially with star forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) likely to miss most of the 2025-26 season.

Josh Minott: Team optioned declined
The Timberwolves intend to decline Minott's $2.19 million team option, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Minott will have the ability to sign with whichever team wants his services in free agency. The 2022 second-rounder saw sparse playing time during the 2024-25 regular season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds over 6.0 minutes per game.
