Thu Feb 20 201400:42Jared Sullinger drops 11-8-2 in loss
Jared Sullinger had 11 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and a 3-pointer on 5-of-13 shooting in Wednesday's loss.
He was dealing with the flu in his last game, but was back to full strength for this one. His line wasn't huge, but he played well and should start at center for the rest of the way for the Celtics.

Mon Feb 17 201403:59Jared Sullinger was dealing with flu
Jared Sullinger was sick with the flu when he played just 19 minutes last Wednesday.
He had four points and seven rebounds in that game, but was lucky to even play. We missed the illness in our recaps on Wednesday, but it was the primary cause of his off night. If you own Sullinger, he should be healthy when the season resumes on Tuesday, so feel free to get him back in your lineup. He's also dealing with a finger injury, but is expected to play through it.

Sat Feb 15 201414:52Jared Sullinger still dealing w/ sore finger
To avoid aggravating his injured right index finger, Jared Sullinger shied away from contact during Friday's Rising Stars game.
He still racked up 13 points, four assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during the glorified exhibition, and nine of his 11 field goal attempts came from downtown. It's worth noting that Sullinger's finger still bothers him after he dislocated it in late January, but recent history suggests he'll be fine -- he averaged 15.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in the five games prior to the All-Star break.

Wed Feb 12 201422:55Jared Sullinger quiet in loss to Spurs
Jared Sullinger's hot streak came to an abrupt end on Wednesday when he had just four points, seven rebounds and zero blocks in 19 minutes.
He was just 2-of-9 from the field and Brad Stevens decided to roll with Kris Humphries (15 points) and Kelly Olynyk (15 & 10) tonight. Sullinger came in incredibly hot, racking up six straight double-doubles while scoring at will, but never got it going against Tim Duncan tonight. And with Humps, Olynyk and Brandon Bass all playing fairly well right now, things could get dicey up front for the Celtics and Sullinger going forward. But for now, this simply looks like an off night for Sully.

Tue Feb 11 201411:11Jared Sullinger adjusting to double teams
Jared Sullinger said he's having trouble adjusting to double teams.
When you're the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week, you're going to get double teamed on just about every possession. It's a change for Sullinger, who has struggled to 10-of-26 shooting (38.4 percent) and 12.5 points per night over the last two games. "I see the change in the last couple games," he said. "Now they send me two people down there. Now I gotta find a way to counter-act that." Sullinger is an excellent rebounder and an underrated shot blocker, so owners shouldn't be too concerned if his points drop off a little. He's here to stay as a fantasy asset.

Mon Feb 10 201423:15Sullinger double-doubles with four blocks
Jared Sullinger double-doubled with 13 points, 10 rebounds, one steal and four blocks against the Bucks on Monday.
Sully is rolling right now and he took advantage of a decimated Bucks frontcourt. He should be in all lineups until he cools off.

Sat Feb 8 201400:12Sullinger goes off for career-high 31 points
Jared Sullinger scored a career-high 31 points on 14-of-24 shooting (including a three) with 16 rebounds, one steal and one block in Friday's win over the Kings.
The Kings really go downhill when one of their Big Three goes down and that was the case tonight with Rudy Gay out. Sullinger has been a must-own player for a while now so owners should simply enjoy the good night against a wounded, often bad defensive basketball team.

Wed Feb 5 201422:17Jared Sullinger blisters Sixers on Wednesday
Jared Sullinger hit 6-of-11 shots for 19 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, four blocks and two 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Sixers.
The Sixers porous defense strikes again, as Sullinger had his best game in weeks. Actually, he's been pretty hot for three straight games, averaging 21.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 3-pointers during that stretch. He's back.

Tue Feb 4 201412:56Jared Sullinger expected to play Wednesday
Jared Sullinger (finger) was spotted with heavy taping on his right hand Tuesday.
Sullinger is still expected to play against the 76ers on Tuesday and should be started in all fantasy leagues going forward. The 21-year-old came dangerously close to averaging a double-double during January and should continue to increase his value as coach Brad Stevens has recently spoken to him about becoming more of a leader for the Celtics.

Sun Feb 2 201416:59Jared Sullinger scores 21 points w/ 12 boards
Jared Sullinger matched his season-high 39 minutes against Magic on Sunday during a 96-89 win, scoring 21 points on 10-of-15 from the field with 12 boards, one assist, one block and one 3-pointer.
He's coming off a horrific January in the shooting department, making just 37.2 percent from the field. Specifically, Sullinger shot just 42.6 percent in the paint, which will have to come up to offset his terrible 3-point shooting. Outside of that issue, he was solid on January with averages of 11.5 points, 9.2 boards, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 triples on 78.4 percent from the line. Sully's value should be on its way up and he's establishing a better rapport with Rajon Rondo. He's worth owning in all leagues.

Wed Jan 29 201423:05Jared Sullinger scores 24 points w/ 17 boards
Jared Sullinger was extremely active against the Sixers on Wednesday with 24 points, 17 boards, two assists, one steal and three turnovers in 35 minutes.
Sullinger suffered a hand injury in the third quarter, but it looks like it's nothing serious since it was a subject in the post-game. He shot 9-of-25 from the field, made all six free throw attempts and grabbed eight offensive boards. This outburst comes out of nowhere with only 16 points combined in his previous three games. There will be ups and downs, but he is worth owning in standard leagues.

Wed Jan 29 201421:11Jared Sullinger leaves have with hand injury
Jared Sullinger suffered an apparent hand injury in the third quarter of Wednesday's game.
He hurt his right index finger on Friday and that appears to be the issue again. Sullinger went to the bench and not the locker room, so that's a good sign for his status. We'll update his status either upon his return or with a team update.

Sun Jan 26 201421:28Jared Sullinger comes off bench in 2nd half
Jared Sullinger didn't start the second half of Sunday's game, as coach Brad Stevens opted to bench him in favor of Kris Humphries.
Sullinger has been playing through a dislocated right index finger lately, and his offense has been inconsistent at best, but this didn't appear to be an injury-related decision. Playing time is ultimately more important than where a player begins the game, but fantasy owners should still be on red alert in case Sullinger's minutes are affected by Stevens' shifting frontcourt rotation. He finished with just two points (1-of-7 FGs), five rebounds and three blocks in 23 minutes.

Sat Jan 25 201400:23Jared Sullinger doesn't blame finger in loss
Jared Sullinger played through a dislocated right index finger on Friday, shooting 3-of-10 from the field for six points with four boards, three assists and one turnover in 24 minutes.
He suffered the dislocation in the first quarter and had his index finger taped to his middle finger. Sullinger said after the game his injury was no excuse, but it probably affected him. The index and middle fingers are the last two fingers to touch the ball on a shot, so hopefully Sullinger's dislocation will heal up soon. He's worth owning in standard leagues.

Fri Jan 24 201419:49Jared Sullinger (finger) returns to bench
Jared Sullinger went to the locker room in the first quarter of Friday's game due to an apparent hand injury and returned to the bench.
He was in a lot of pain and walked to the locker room under his own power. The team will likely give him an X-ray and hopefully he didn't break anything. If he needs to miss time, Brandon Bass would likely move back into the starting lineup. Check back for an update.

Wed Jan 22 201422:44Jared Sullinger double-doubles vs. Wizards
Jared Sullinger double-doubled during Wednesday's 113-111 overtime win with 14 points, 11 boards, one assist, one block and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes.
He's been relatively consistent for the Celtics in the starting lineup. Sullinger takes threes and gets some steals, but the blocks haven't really been there. Over his last five, he's averaged 14.0 points, 11.4 boards, 1.2 steals, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 triples. He should be owned in all leagues and has some room for improvement, too.

Tue Jan 21 201423:06Jared Sullinger double-doubles vs. Heat
Jared Sullinger hit just 4-of-14 shots and was 0-for-5 from downtown on Tuesday, but still finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and zero blocks in a loss to the Heat.
His shot wasn't falling tonight, but he was still productive. He had 25 points and 20 rebounds on last Wednesday, and is now averaging 12.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals over his last five games. He had hit a 3-pointer in three straight before tonight, so look for his shot to return when the Celtics play the Wizards on Wednesday.

Wed Jan 15 201423:51Jared Sullinger goes for 25 & 20 in win
Jared Sullinger started again on Wednesday and blew up for 25 points, 20 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a 3-pointer on 7-of-14 shooting in a win over the Raptors.
He also hit 10-of-14 free throws and showed no signs of his sore neck in this one. He's hit double digits in rebounds in four straight games and his slump and bench stint are officially over after this explosion. He missed his season high in points by one and easily set a season high in rebounds tonight. Make sure keep playing him while he's hot. Kris Humphries also started and added 12 points, eight rebounds and a block, which is respectable.

Tue Jan 14 201413:21Jared Sullinger (neck) goes through practice
Jared Sullinger (neck) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
He suffered some neck spasms on Monday night and was able to play though the issue. Sullinger moved back into the starting lineup in a terrible matchup against the Rockets, so his owners should cut him some slack. He should stay in the starting lineup as long as he's able to avoid fouling so much.

Mon Jan 13 201423:25Jared Sullinger says he had neck spasms
Jared Sullinger said he suffered some neck spasms during Monday's game against the Rockets.
He left the arena wearing Kinesio tape on his neck and the injury is not considered serious. Sullinger's move into the starting lineup was not a prosperous one, scoring eight points with 10 boards, one assist and one block on 3-of-11 shooting. The Celtics were whipped inside tonight and it was a terrible matchup for Sully. He should get it going on Wednesday vs. the Raptors.
