The Boston Celtics (38-16) overcame a slow start and claimed their sixth win in their last seven games with a 103-85 victory over the Miami Heat (25-26) on February 11.
Boston Celtics Top Performers:
Jayson Tatum 33 PTS | 8 REB | 1 BLK | 48.6 FPS
Tatum has been on another level offensively this month, recording his third 30+ point game with strong shooting splits across five contests. However, a lingering knee problem and consistency in other areas remain concerns.
Kristaps Porzingis 17 PTS | 9 REB | 2 BLK | 35.8 FPS
KP returned after missing a game due to illness and delivered his usual production. Though he’s struggled from deep lately, he has still scored 16+ points in 16 straight games while maintaining elite rebounding and blocking numbers.
Payton Pritchard 5 PTS | 10 REB | 8 AST | 35.0 FPS
Pritchard averaged 20+ points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists with elite efficiency in his previous two games. While his offense struggled today, he remained impactful and is poised to continue contributing significantly with a steady bench role.
Al Horford 16 PTS | 4-8 3PT | 10 REB | 34.0 FPS
Horford has seen an increased role lately with several players sidelined. His offensive output has been inconsistent, but he has been impactful in rebounds and blocks.
Derrick White 13 PTS | 4 REB | 7 AST | 26.3 FPS
White had an underwhelming performance on both ends today, a sharp drop from his strong contributions across six categories in his previous four games this month.
Miami Heat Top Performers:
Bam Adebayo 22 PTS | 12 REB | 9-10 FT | 42.4 FPS
Bam has been a consistent double-double threat over his last 10 games, and his offensive numbers have taken a clear step up this month. With Butler gone, he’s primed to take on an even bigger role and keep the momentum going.
Kel’el Ware 8 PTS | 7 REB | 1 BLK | 22.4 FPS
Ware’s production has taken a sharp hit on both ends this month, though he continues to put up strong rebounding numbers. With a solid role and the potential to be an elite contributor at his position, holding onto him remains the smart move.
Alec Burks 13 PTS | 3-5 3PT | 7 REB | 21.4 FPS
Burks is a capable contributor with his three-point shooting and rebounding abilities, but his current role doesn’t offer enough opportunities to make him a worthy fantasy option.
Nikola Jovic 10 PTS | 2-9 3PT | 8 REB | 18.6 FPS
Jovic started the month on fire offensively but has cooled considerably in his last two games, with his production in other areas remaining notably erratic.
Terry Rozier 9 PTS | 3 REB | 1 STL | 17.1 FPS
Rozier’s offensive production has been wildly inconsistent in recent weeks, fluctuating between explosive 19+ point performances and disappointing outings. Nevertheless, he’s expected to continue shouldering a significant offensive workload.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Andrew Wiggins 11 PTS | 5 REB | 5 AST
Wiggins’ offensive game has suddenly gone cold after a dominant seven-game scoring stretch. But his all-around impact is undeniable, delivering a complete stat line in four of his last five games.
