The Boston Celtics, coming off their 18th NBA title, aimed for a repeat during the 2024-25 season, finishing with a 61-21 record. However, injuries plagued key players, notably Jayson Tatum, who suffered a ruptured Achilles in the playoffs. The team's offensive and defensive ratings were impressive, ranking third and fourth respectively. Despite their strong start, health issues became evident as they entered the postseason.

Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown also faced injuries, impacting their performance. Tatum's injury significantly affects his fantasy value for the 2025-26 season, making him a risky late-round pick. Conversely, Payton Pritchard emerged as a standout reserve, showcasing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday's performance dipped, failing to meet expectations due to injuries and will be a name to watch this offseason.
