|
| Paul Pierce led the Celtics in scoring on Saturday as Boston defeated the Nets 86-76. Pierce had 16 points to go along with his seven assists in the win. |
Our View: Pierce didn't grab a rebound tonight, which is a bit surprising considering he was averaging 5.6 boards per game entering the contest. Boston didn't play well as a team tonight, but they were still good enough to beat the lowly Nets. |
|
|
|
| Rajon Rondo scored 16 points and added four rebounds and three assists in the Celtics' 86-76 win over the Nets on Saturday. Rondo was 8-for-11 shooting from the field. |
Our View: The Celtics' offense wasn't overly impressive tonight, but they picked a good team to struggle against in the Nets. Rondo's assist totals were a bit low tonight, but with all the offensive power in Boston he should have no problem in that category. |
|
|
|
| Kevin Garnett performed well in Friday's 110-103 loss to the Suns, as he collected a team-high 26 points and eight rebounds. He also had four assists, two steals and a block. |
Our View: Garnett topped 20 points for the first time this season, and fantasy owners should be pleased with his statline. He should have a strong season, as long as he can avoid the injury bug. |
|
|
|
| Kevin Garnett finished with another double-double on Wednesday as the Celtics beat the Wolves 92-90. Garnett scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the win. |
Our View: Garnett was just over his 11.2 points per game average tonight, but the 11 boards was a very nice output. He figures to continue to get stronger as the season goes on, but he is still a very good player right now. |
|
|
|
| Rajon Rondo led the Celtics in scoring on Wednesday as they held on to beat the T-Wolves 92-90. Rondo scored 18 points and dished out six assists in the victory. |
Our View: All five starters scored in double-figures in this game, but Rondo led the way with his 18. He also grabbed four boards, and he was the best player on the floor for Boston tonight. |
|
|
|
| Rasheed Wallace scored 20 points off the bench in tonight's 105-74 win at Philadelphia. He also chipped in six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block over 23:56 minutes of action. |
Our View: Wallace had his best game of the season so far, but will not be a reliable fantasy option while working as a reserve. |
|
|
|
| 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. |
Our View: The veteran forward averages 23.3 points over his last three games, all resulting in wins for Boston. Expect him to continue to perform well. |
|
|
|
| Rajon Rondo has agreed to a five-year conract extension with the Boston Celtics worth "at least" $55 million, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: After nearly trading Rondo last offseason, the Celts have now locked him up. It's not hard to see why. One of the most complete point guards in the league, Rondo is averaging 6.5 points, five rebounds 2.5 steals and 11.8 assists per game so far in 2009-10. |
|
|
|
| The Boston Globe reports that Rajon Rondo had his ankle heavily iced and wrapped following Sunday's win over the Hornets. He suffered the injury in the first quarter of the game, but was able to play through it. |
Our View: Rondo should be fine to keep in your lineups this week. He has not scored much this season, but has produced good assist, rebound, and steals totals. |
|
|
|
| Rajon Rondo only had six points on seven shots, but he did contribute 10 assists, three rebounds, and three steals in Boston's win over the Hornets. |
Our View: Rondo has not scored much this season, but has proven to be a very valuable fantasy option in the mold of Jason Kidd. He has 49 assists through four games. |
|
|
|
| Paul Pierce led all scorers with 27 points in Sunday night's 97-87 win over the Hornets. 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. |
|
|
|
| Brian Scalabrine, who has not yet played this season due to a sprained ankle, will be active for tonight's game against the Hornets, according to the Boston Globe. |
Our View: Scalabrine is not fantasy worthy mostly due to lack of playing time. He will likely only play in garbage time. |
