Payton Pritchard is seeing heavier minutes for the Boston Celtics.

Well, here we go again, as the Celtics are starting to rest players down the stretch and he again is stepping up. Pritchard has played at least 31 minutes in four straight games and responded with at least 14 points in each. His shooting has gotten better as the season has progressed and he’s jacking up more attempts from beyond the arc than ever before. Pritchard’s emergence of late has been a great story for Boston, highlighted by Sunday’s performance when he recorded his first double-double of the season (including a career-high 13 dimes). This kid has serious confidence, but is limited by his size (6’1″) as he’s not really an above-the-rim player.

The way he’s hitting and producing early on this spring, it looks pretty clear that Chourio is ready to be a big leaguer. Last year, spent mostly at Double-A, he racked up the hits, but overall wasn’t quite as impressive as he’d been in 2022 when he made a mockery of Class-A. Still, you’ll be hard pressed to find a combination of raw power and speed that Chourio posseses. This is a future Fantasy stud who will debut on Opening Day.

We expected Kylington to have a bigger role down the stretch, and sure enough, he’s topped 20 minutes in two of the last three games, recording a +2 rating in both. Don’t expect much offense for now, but it’s worth noting that before missing all of last season with mental health issues, he scored nine goals and 31 points in just 73 games. Kylington is currently auditioning for an extension, so he’s a nice speculative pickup in deeper leagues.

The Eagles head into the tourney hot, having won three straight to manage a .500 record within the conference. Since winning 22 games in 2021-22, they’ve regressed and struggled through their worst record this season since 2019-20. It’s been seven years since FGC made March Madness, and it looks like it will take a miracle to end that drought this season.
