November 17, 2009 According to the Miami Herald, Paul Pierce (knee) returned to practice on Tuesday. Our View:Pierce missed yesterday's practice and was expected to be out today as well, so it was a pleasant surprise that he returned early. He played through the injury on Saturday and with his early return, one would assume he'll be ready to return to game action on Wednesday. It's probably best to check on him again before tip off though. |
|
November 16, 2009 Paul Pierce (left knee sprain) is questionable for the Celtics' game against the Warriors on Wednesday, according to the Boston Globe. Our View:He will not practice on Tuesday. Pierce already played through the injury on Saturday (something coach Doc Rivers now calls a mistake), so it's hard to envision him sitting out on Wednesday. Check back, but expect him to play. |
|
November 14, 2009 Paul Pierce is dealing with a bruised knee sustained in Friday's game against the Hawks, but he is expected to play tonight at Indiana, according to the Boston Globe. Our View:His knee is tender, but the team captain will start and should be OK to employ in fantasy lineups. |
|
November 13, 2009 Paul Pierce put up 24 points for the Celtics on Friday, but it wasn't enough as they fell 97-86 to the Hawks. Our View:Pierce had three rebounds and two assists in the game as well, but it was his shooting that stood out for the Celtics.

|

Boston didn't play well as a team tonight, but they were still good enough to beat the lowly Nets. |
|
November 3, 2009 Paul Pierce led the Celtics in Tuesday's 105-74 win at Philadelphia, as he scored 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals.

He hit 10-of-14 from the field while also contributing four boards, three treys, two assists, and two steals. Our View:Pierce has been about the best fantasy option on the Celtics through four games. He has been particularly deadly behind the arc where he has made more than half of his shots. He has 13 treys on the season. |
|
October 30, 2009 Paul Pierce generated 22 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in Friday's 118-90 win over the Bulls. Our View:Pierce is off to a solid start, and should remain a good performer for fantasy owners as long as he can stay healthy. |

|

Pierce was 4-for-6 shooting, including a perfect 2-for-2 from the three-point arc. Our View:Pierce wasn't going to play tonight, but he told coach Doc Rivers that he wanted to get in tonight. He looked good in his limited time, and he should be fine for the regular season. |
|
October 14, 2009 Paul Pierce contributed 17 points and three rebounds in the Celtics' 106-90 win over Toronto Wednesday night. Pierce played 26 minutes and also had two assists and a steal in the win. Our View:Pierce was 6-for-9 shooting from the field, including 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. He has looked very solid so far this preseason, so he should be ready to go when the season begins. |
|
October 11, 2009 Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics in their 100-93 win over the Nets on Sunday. Pierce was 8-for-12 shooting for 25 points in the game. Our View:Pierce added one rebound and three assists in the game, and his shot was working today. He was 2-for-5 from beyond the arc, and he looks redy for the season to begin. |
|
May 19, 2009 Paul Pierce has been dealing with bone spurs in his ankle, and may require surgery for the ailment, according to the Boston Globe. Our View:This helps explain why the 31-year-old vet slowed down in the playoffs, and only averaged 17.3 points over the final three games against Orlando. |
|
May 12, 2009 Paul Pierce just missed a triple-double on Tuesday with 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the Celtics' 92-88 Game Five win. They came back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to steal a game away from the Magic and take a 3-2 series lead. Our View:Pierce only took 11 shots from the field, but hit six of them and was a perfect 7-of-7 from the line. He has been huge for the Celtics in the series other than in Game Three when he had just three points. |
|
May 10, 2009 Paul Pierce hit 9-of-15 shots and finished with 27 points for the second straight game as the Celtics beat the Magic 95-94 on Sunday. He had four assists in the game, including one when he fed Glen Davis for the game-winner in the final second. Our View:Pierce stepped up and got it going right from the start tonight. Also, for once he passed the ball on the last possession, and it paid off handsomely. |
|
May 8, 2009 Paul Pierce came up big in Friday's game against the Magic, but his team-high 27 points wasn't enough. Boston fell 117-96 and now trail 2-1 in the series. Our View:Pierce had three rebounds, six assists and three steals in the game to go along with his 27. However, he was just 6-of-15 shooting and only hit one of his three attempts from downtown. Still, anything was an improvement on his three total point showing in Game Two. |
|
May 5, 2009 Paul Pierce did his part on Monday, but the Celtics lost Game 1 to the Magic 95-90. Pierce had 23 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Our View:Pierce was good, but with no Kevin Garnett and an off night by Ray Allen, it wasn't enough. The Celtics will need both Pierce and Allen to come up huge in this series if the they are going to stay alive in these playoffs. |
|
May 4, 2009 Paul Pierce is not concerned that the Celtics will be drained for Round 2 against the Magic following a brutal seven-game battle with the Bulls, according to the Boston Globe. Pierce said, "Well, it is similar to last year. I mean, we never got a break in the playoff series last year. For me, I would rather keep playing, anyway. I think you get three, four days off, you kind of lose it a little bit. Hey, just like the regular season - you play every other day." Our View:Game 1 is slated for tonight at Boston. The club had Sunday off after knocking off Chicago Saturday night, in a series where four games were decided in overtime. |
|
May 2, 2009 Paul Pierce chipped in 20 points in Saturday's 109-99 win over Chicago in Game 7 at TD Banknorth Garden. He also generated nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

|
May 1, 2009 Paul Pierce briefly exited Thursday's Game 6 against Chicago in the third period to receive stitches to close a wound in his nose, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Our View:Pierce should be fine for the final battle of the war with the Bulls on Saturday. Four of the first six games were decided in overtime. |
|
April 28, 2009 Paul Pierce was clutch in the Celtics' 106-104 Game Five overtime win against the Bulls on Tuesday. He put up 26 points to go along with seven rebounds.

|
April 26, 2009 Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 29 points in their double-overtime loss to the Bulls on Sunday. The veteran added seven rebounds, two steals, and one assist.

|
April 23, 2009 Paul Pierce had a game-high 24 points in the Celtics' 107-86 win over the Bulls on Thursday. Boston now leads the series two games to one. Our View:Pierce had his shot working in this one. He was 9-of-15 from the field and hit four of his eight three-point attempts. He was invisible around the glass though with just one rebound. |
|
April 18, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 23 points in Saturday's 105-103 overtime loss to the Bulls at TD Banknorth Garden. He also notched seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. He shot 8-for-21 from the court. Our View:Pierce was productive today, but the absence of reigning Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett proved to be a factor in the Celtics' close loss at home in Game 1 of the playoffs. |
|
April 14, 2009 Paul Pierce had a game-high 31 points as the Celtics nipped the Sixers on Tuesday 100-98. The Celtic superstar also totaled three assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Our View:Pierce was accurate on Tuesday, hitting 12-of-16 from the field and an eye-popping 7-of-9 from downtown. Tonight's contest is only the second time though that he has topped 30 points since March 19th. |
|
April 10, 2009 Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 28 points in their 105-98 win over the Heat on Friday night. He had eight rebounds in the contest as well. Our View:Pierce hit 10-of-16 field goals, including 4-of-5 from three-point land. This was a nice boost for fantasy owners after he put up a measly ten points and one rebound in his last contest. |
|
April 3, 2009 Paul Pierce shot 7-of-14 from the floor to lead the Celtics with 21 points in a 104-92 win over Atlanta. Our View:Pierce also pulled down six boards and dished out five assists. He's now shot 50 percent from the field for two straight games after shooting 44 percent or worse in each of his six previous games. |
|

|
March 27, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 21 points in the Celtics victory on Friday night. He had five assists and four rebounds to compliment his scoring. Our View:Pierce's point total was nice, but he wasn't too solid shooting. He was only 6-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 in three-point attempts. Eight of his points came from the free throw line. |
|
March 25, 2009 Paul Pierce had 26 points in the Celtics 84-82 loss to the Magic on Wednesday. He had seven rebounds and four turnovers while shooting 10-of-23 in 44 minutes of action. Our View:Pierce had failed to hit double digits in his last three games, so it was nice to see him make an effort tonight. Kevin Garnett was held to just 17 minutes in the win, and you have to think his return to 100 percent will eventually cut back into Pierce's shot opportunities. |
|
March 23, 2009 Paul Pierce scored just nine points on 3-of-7 shooting Monday as Boston took care of the hapless Clippers 90-77. Our View:Pierce has now scored fewer than 10 points in three straight games. He failed to reach double digits in points just five times all of last season. |
|
March 21, 2009 Paul Pierce had only six points on Saturday. He was 2-of-6 from the field and 0-for-2 in three-point attempts. Our View:Pierce was invisible Saturday. Chalk it up to a bad game and don't read too much into it. He's still a top fantasy performer. |
|
March 18, 2009 Paul Pierce shined again on Wednesday night as he had 36 points and 11 rebounds in Boston's 112-108 OT win against the Heat. Our View:He and Rondo carried the team with injuries to Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen on Wednesday. Pierce seems to be scoring at will right now. Keep him in your lineup at all costs. |
|
March 17, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 37 points and added seven rebounds in a losing effort Tuesday night. He was 13-of-24 shooting. Our View:Pierce upped his shot total and put up great numbers, but it still didn't put the Celtics over the top as they ironically lost on St. Patrick's Day. |
|
March 13, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 17 points and handed out five assists as the Celtics eased by the Grizzlies 102-92 Friday night at TD Banknorth Garden. Our View:Pierce has taken considerably fewer shots the past three games, which has resulted in sub-20-point performances and a two-game losing streak. In Boston's three contests from Mar. 1-6, Pierce attempted 56 field goals, and the Celtics were 2-1. However, the Celtics have lost two of three since then, while Pierce has attempted only 37 shots. |
|
March 8, 2009 Paul Pierce contributed 16 points, eight boards and three assists in Sunday's 86-79 loss to Orlando. Our View:He was productive, but only made 5-of-15 shots from the field, and had a game-high six turnovers, which was a key factor in the loss. |
|
March 6, 2009 Paul Pierce narrowly missed a double-double Friday evening, scoring 29 points and dishing out nine assists in the Celtics' 105-94 win over the Cavaliers. Our View:In the absence of the injured Kevin Garnett, Pierce was clearly the team leader against Boston's Eastern Conference rival. In addition to points, he led the team in minutes (45), three-point field goals (3), and free throws (4) and was second with nine assists. |
|
March 4, 2009 Paul Pierce was red hot on Wednesday as the Celtics beat the Nets 115-111. He was 12-of-14 from the field to finish with 31 points and five assists. He hit both of his three-point attempts. Our View:Pierce could not miss and the Nets trio of below-average small forwards could not do anything to stop him. Pierce has upped his scoring minus Kevin Garnett, but the rest of his production has fallen off a bit. |
|
March 1, 2009 Paul Pierce scored a game-high 26 points and pulled down six boards in Boston's 105-95 home loss to Detroit Sunday afternoon. Our View:Apparently Pierce's bad thumb isn't giving him that much trouble, as he had his highest-scoring game in over a week and best shooting percentage in nearly a month. |
|
February 28, 2009 Paul Pierce intends to play through his dislocated thumb, but admitted that the ailment hindered him in Friday's game against the Pacers, according to the Boston Globe. He said, "I was a little hesitant, and its probably going to take a few days or a week for me getting over the fact that I have seen my bone or my joint come all the way out. That is about it, the doctor examined it and it is just going to take time to heal and once I get over it psychology I think I will be alright." Our View:He should be kept active in fantasy lineups, especially with a favorable match-up against the struggling Pistons on Sunday. |
|
February 27, 2009 Paul Pierce is questionable for tonight's home game against the Pacers due to an injured left thumb, according to the Sports Network. He has two dislocations. Our View:He averages 22.3 points over 36 career meetings with Indiana, but could be hindered by the ailment if cleared to play tonight. |
|
February 26, 2009 Paul Pierce led all Celtics scorers with 20, but he missed in the final seconds as the Clippers defeated them 93-91 on Wednesday. He hit 7-of-19 from the field and chipped in four assists, three rebounds, and three turnovers. Our View:Pierce has averaged 25.5 points in February, but he'll have to take some of the blame for tonight's loss. He has not shot this bad in a game since January 28. |
|
February 14, 2009 The NBA Finals MVP Award will be named after Bill Russell beginning this season, according to the Associated Press. NBA commissioner David Stern made the announcement on Saturday. Our View:This is a great honor for Russell. He never won an NBA Finals MVP, but he won 11 titles in a 13-year career, so he's very deserving of the tribute. |
|
February 11, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 30 points on 10-of-19 shooting as the Celtics defeated the Hornets 89-77 on Wednesday. Our View:Pierce was picking up some of the slack for Ray Allen who exited the game early with a hyperextended thumb. Expect more of the same in the Celtics game on Thursday. |
|
February 8, 2009 Paul Pierce contributed 19 points, eight boards, two assists, one steal and one block in Sunday's 105-99 loss to San Antonio. Our View:Pierce performed on par with his season averages, and fantasy owners should be pleased with his performance. He is averaging 26.2 points over his last five games. |
|
February 7, 2009 Celtics coach Doc Rivers has been fined $15,000 for his criticism of the officials following his team's recent loss to the Lakers, according to the Boston Globe.

|
February 6, 2009 Paul Pierce scored a team-high 26 points on Friday, helping the Celtics to a 110-100 win over the Knicks. He also recorded four rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Our View:Pierce has scored 20+ points in his last five games and 25+ in three of his past five for the Celtics. |
|
February 3, 2009 Paul Pierce was great again for the Celtics, who were playing without Kevin Garnett (flu), hitting 10-of-23 from the field and finishing with 29 points in their 100-99 victory over the 76ers. Our View:With Garnett out, Pierce has shown his ability to carry the Celtics and has really helped fantasy owners with his recent hot streak. |
|
February 1, 2009 Paul Pierce stepped it up for the Celtics as they were playing without Kevin Garnett (flu) on Sunday against Minnesota. The Truth hit 13-of-24 shots, including a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe, to finish with 36 points. He also had eight rebounds and six assists in the 109-101 victory. Our View:Pierce has shown the ability to amp up his production when he it is needed. Most of his best games come against the league's best competition, but he was leaned on heavily today without KG in the lineup. |
|
January 30, 2009 Paul Pierce recorded 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, and one steal in Friday's win over the Pistons. Our View:Pierce had struggled in his past two games, only scoring a total of 16 points combined, so his fantasy owners will be relieved after this effort. |

|
January 28, 2009 Paul Pierce hit just 1-of-5 shots and finished with eight points, eight assists, and three rebounds in 27 minutes as Boston defeated Sacramento 119-100 on Wednesday.

|
January 22, 2009 Paul Pierce poured in 27 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists as the Celtics won 90-80 in Orlando on Thursday.

However, he came up big in a big game once again for the Celtics. |
|
January 20, 2009 Paul Pierce injured his ankle in Monday's battle with Phoenix, but is not expected to miss any time, according to the Boston Herald. Pierce said, "It’s a little sore. But I don’t think it’s swelled up. Just precautionary ice right now." Our View:Boston's next game is Wednesday at Miami. We will keep you posted on Pierce's status. |
|
January 14, 2009 Paul Pierce led all scorers with 22 points as the Celtics defeated the Nets 118-86 on Wednesday. He hit five three-pointers, grabbed four rebounds, handed out four assists, and snatched three steals in the win.

|
January 12, 2009 Paul Pierce not only played on Monday night after being bothered by his right knee, but managed to scored 39 points in a 115-109 overtime win against the Raptors.

He also only had 11 in the Celtics' Friday night loss to Cleveland. |
|
January 12, 2009 Paul Pierce is uncertain to play in tonight's home game against the Raptors after aggravating his ailing right knee during Sunday's game, according to the Boston Globe. Our View:If able to go, the Celtics' leading scoring (averaging 19 points per game) would have a favorable home match-up against the 16-22 Raptors. |
|
January 11, 2009 Paul Pierce left Sunday's game against the Raptors after banging knees with another player, according to the Boston Globe. He is expected to return. Our View:The severity of the injury is not yet known. Pierce's scoring has spiked in recent weeks despite the Celtics struggles. He is currently leading the team with 19.2 points per game. |
|
January 7, 2009 Paul Pierce scored 26 points, grabbed five rebounds, and dished out four assists as Boston fell again on Wednesday. Pierce had four turnovers in the loss to the Rockets.

|
