The Celtics are looking to add some wing depth, and they’ll meet with both players this week. Neither guy contributed in fantasy last season, with Warren spending time in both Brooklyn and Phoenix, while Stevens played for Cleveland. If either player joins Boston, they’ll provide depth, but they won’t impact the fantasy hoops landscape. Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto added that Louis King will also work out for the Celtics this week.

Agbaji is unlikely to take the court, which means Toronto will dig deep into the depth chart to fill numerous holes across the roster.

IQ and Barrett are the latest Raptors added to the injury report. Their absences will leave plenty of minutes available for the likes of Jamal Shead, AJ Lawson, Chris Boucher and Jared Rhoden.

VanVleet has missed five straight, but he’s got a chance to return for Wednesday’s tilt with Phoenix. If FVV is out again, expect Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. to be more involved, with Jalen Green handling more responsibility as a facilitator.

Coulibaly sustained the hamstring injury on Monday against the Raptors, and unsurprisingly, he’ll be out for the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. Justin Champagnie should see additional playing time with Coulibaly sidelined.

Jerome has been rolling as a sparkplug off of Cleveland’s bench, and he’ll get the night off against Brooklyn. In his place, Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. could see increased run.

Both players were sidelined Monday, but the they are off the injury report for Tuesday’s tilt with Detroit. The impact of Jones’ availability is negligible, but Holmes’ availability will impact Tristan Vukcevic’s minutes as Alexandre Sarr’s backup at center.

Middleton and Smart sat out Monday on the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back set, but the pair of vets will be good to go on Tuesday. Bub Carrington could see a reduced role with Middleton and Smart back in action.

Poeltl rested Monday against Washington, but he should handle his typical workload when he returns on Wednesday to face the 76ers.

Barnes is a late addition to the injury report, while Agbaji’s status has been upgraded from out to questionable. Barnes’ absence is far more impactful in the world of fantasy hoops, and if he’s sidelined, Chris Boucher and AJ Lawson could see a bump in playing time.

Cleveland isn’t playing a back-to-back set, so the latest injuries to Mitchell and Hunter suggest that they may be game-time decisions against Brooklyn. Mitchell’s absence would free up additional playing time for Sam Merrill and Max Strus, while Isaac Okoro could absorb some of Hunter’s vacated minutes if he is sidelined.
