Luke Kornet (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: The big man suffered a hamstring injury on Wednesday that may force him to miss Sunday's game. He missed Boston's last game because of it, and the team may opt to let him sit out as a precautionary measure, even if he is well enough to take the court. Neemias Queta will see a lot of work on Sunday if Kornet is out for another game.

Neemias Queta scored 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, one steal and one block in the Celtics 123-93 win over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact: Queta drew the start in the absence of Jaylen Brown. If Brown misses another game, Queta would be in the streaming conversation in deeper leagues.

Oshae Brissett has declined his $2.5 million player option with the Boston Celtics for the 2024-2025 season. (Source: Evan Sidery on X)
Fantasy Impact: While Brissett provided some depth to the Celtics during their playoff run, he wasn't a consistent contributor throughout the regular season. The 26-year-old is looking to shop around for other teams with which he may see more playing time. While he could be a decent role player, he likely won't be fantasy-relevant, barring injuries.
