Monroe registered 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 21 minutes Wednesday as Boston's claimed victory over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe had his strongest showing since joining the Celtics. He bullied the finesse Hornet bigs who were picking up Dwight Howard's minutes once things got out of hand. The frontcourt remains crowded in Boston and Monroe's defensive faults can limit him, but he's worth keeping on the fantasy-radar because of his offensive pedigree.

Monroe, who collected a DNP-CD during the team's most recent game Monday against Memphis, will re-enter the rotation due to Daniel Theis (hamstring) being sidelined, Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe saw his highest workload as a Celtic during his team debut, playing 20 minutes. Since then, his workload has dipped, averaging 12.6 minutes and posting 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. However, with Theis out of the picture Wednesday, Monroe could trend back to a role that would make him fantasy relevant

Monroe mustered five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes in Thursday's 110-104 OT win in Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The twenty minutes were a surprise considering this was Monroe's first game with his new Boston squad. That said, Monroe's role was clear: score on the block and clog the lane on defense. Monroe's hands were active on the defensive end, but he clearly still needs to develop some chemistry with his new teammates on the offensive side. Monroe's quality passing skills will fit in nicely with Boston, but he'll need time to learn where his teammates are supposed to be on various set plays. Expect Monroe to provide an excellent scoring punch off the bench for the C's.

Monroe will be active for Thursday's contest against the Wizards, though coach Brad Stevens noted that he might not play, Zach Rosen of the Wizards' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monroe may still need some time to get up to speed with the Celtics' gameplan, so it's unclear if he'll be checked into the contest. If he doesn't play, it shouldn't hold weight on his fantasy value, however. Considering the situation, he makes for a risky DFS play.

Monroe has officially signed with the Celtics and will be available to play in Thursday's game against the Wizards, Scott Souza of GateHouse Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the Celtics and Monroe were able to complete the formalities of his recent one-year, $5 million contract. He'll now be able to make his Boston debut Thursday, though it seems likely he'll find some restrictions in his first game with his new team. There's been some speculation that Monroe will ultimately unseat Aron Baynes for a starting role alongside Al Horford. However, until that's officially confirmed, Monroe will likely settle in as one of the go-to options offensively in the second unit. It may take a few games for Monroe to get up to speed either way, so fantasy owners may want to temper expectations a bit for the time being.

Monroe will fly to Washington, D.C. to join the Celtics ahead of Thursday's game against the Wizards, A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston reports. The Celtics are expected to officially announce Monroe's signing prior to the game.
EDGE Analysis
After having the final year of his contract bought out by the Suns last week, Monroe reportedly agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with Boston on Feb. 2. The big man's team debut has been delayed while Boston waited for him to formally clear waivers and opened up a roster spot for him, but it appears Monroe will finally be on the bench Thursday. Look for Monroe to settle into a role as a go-to option on the second unit, though the presence of capable frontcourt options in Al Horford, Aron Baynes, Marcus Morris, Jayson Tatum and Daniel Theis may limit Monroe's minute counts.

Monroe did not travel with the team to Toronto for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With there still being no official announcement of the Celtics signing Monroe, coach Brad Stevens is still unable to comment on it, and the big man's status remains in question moving forward. There is still no report as to when Monroe is expected to join the team, but his next chance to make his Boston debut will be Thursday in Washington.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens was unable to talk about Monroe upon meeting with the media prior to Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, indicating the big man officially remains unsigned, Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the signing of Monroe, who reportedly agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Celtics on Friday after being bought out by the Suns, not expected to be announced prior to Sunday's 12:00 p.m. EST tipoff, the 27-year-old's Boston debut will have to wait a little longer. Once his addition his official, expect Monroe to settle in as a second-unit center for Boston, a role that could give him some degree of fantasy utility in mid-sized or deeper formats.

Monroe will not be available for Friday's game against the Hawks, Jared Weiss of The Celtics Wire reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Celtics agreed to terms with Monroe on Friday morning, but the big man technically won't clear waivers until Saturday, so the earliest he'll be able to make his Celtics debut would be Sunday against Portland. It's possible that Monroe could be held out of that contest, as well, but he should be considered questionable until the team says otherwise.

Monroe will sign a one-year, $5 million deal with the Celtics after being bought out by the Suns earlier in the week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After parting ways with the Suns on Wednesday, Monroe immediately became the most sought-after free agent, with a number of teams reportedly expressing interest in adding him for the remainder of the season. While Monroe's hometown Pelicans were considered the frontrunner, the Celtics were likely able to woo Monroe with the promise of a clearer path to a deep postseason run. Monroe, who began the season in Milwaukee before being dealt as part of the Eric Bledsoe trade, appeared in 20 games for Phoenix, but he racked up a number of DNP-CDs, and it was clear from the start that he wasn't going to be a part of the franchise's future. In Boston, Monroe will likely come off the bench initially, though Brad Stevens could experiment with Monroe and Al Horford in the frontcourt together. Monroe's arrival will likely mean reduced roles for Aron Baynes and Daniel Theis.
