Jordan Walsh

Pritchard will miss just his second game of the season, and he'll leave some vacated minutes behind for Ron Harper Jr. and Jordan Walsh. Baylor Scheierman could also pick up some extra playing time against San Antonio.

Pritchard has landed on the Celtics' injury report due to neck spasms. If he's unable to play on Tuesday, there may be room on the back end of the rotation for Ron Harper Jr. or Jordan Walsh. Neither would be worth streaming in that role.

Walsh is available after sitting out Friday's win over the Mavericks. However, with Jayson Tatum back in the fold, Walsh is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Walsh has been on the back end of the Celtics' rotation recently, and that was before Jayson Tatum was cleared to make his season debut on Friday. Walsh's absence will not significantly affect fantasy basketball.
