Jared Sullinger has been bothered by a deep bone bruise and sprained ligaments in his left hand since late November. Sullinger had a wrap on his left hand during Boston's practice on Thursday, but he's been playing with the injury for a month so it doesn't appear to be a major concern. We'll let you know if his status for Saturday's game is in jeopardy - for now we expect him to play his usual minutes as the Celtics' starting center.

Jared Sullinger was held to six points, two rebounds and two blocks vs. Roy Hibbert and the Pacers on Sunday, marking his lowest playing time since early November. Sullinger couldn't stop Hibbert and the Celtics were behind by as many as 25 points in the third quarter, so coach Brad Stevens gave most of his starters extended rest. Jordan Crawford had nine points in 24 minutes, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass each played 25 minutes, and Avery Bradley led the team with just 13 points in 31 minutes. Boston has five consecutive off days before their lone game this week, against the Cavaliers on Saturday.

Jared Sullinger scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds on Saturday, and said afterward that a minor ankle injury won't prevent him from playing in Sunday's game. Asked whether the injury might sideline him, Sullinger left no room for doubt. "No, not at all. I'll play tomorrow," he said. While he's a safe bet for Sunday's game, neither he nor Brandon Bass (11 points, 11 boards) are safe options with just one game on Boston's schedule this upcoming week.

With rumors swirling that the Celtics are about to obtain Rockets center Omer Asik, Jared Sullinger went off again for 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, a steal and two more 3-pointers on 7-of-14 shooting. The arrival of Asik in Boston will really hurt the fantasy value of Sullinger, although he could also play some power forward if it happens. But as long as Asik is still pouting on the Rockets' bench, Sullinger remains a must-start player.

Jared Sullinger scored 24 points on 7-of-14 shooting (1-of-2 from deep, 9-of-11 from the line) with 11 rebounds and five assists in Monday's win over the Wolves. Sullinger did not record a steal or block but who cares when he's putting up numbers like this. He's not going to wow you with his late-round value in standard leagues, but Sully can be counted on most nights to provide serviceable production.

Jared Sullinger had 15 points, five rebounds and two more 3-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Nets. He's hit at least one 3-pointer in 10 of his 22 games, but they usually come in bunches, as he's averaging nearly one per game. His rebounding has tailed off in his four December games, but he's still averaging 15.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and a 3-pointer per game in 30 minutes over his last five.

Jared Sullinger scored 21 points in Sunday's easy win over the Knicks, adding three rebounds, two assists, one steal and two 3-pointers. He had the full repertoire working today with some easy buckets inside and some jumpers on the perimeter. Sullinger is a vocal leader on both ends of the floor and his job appears to be safe regardless of the players around him. He hasn't hit the glass too hard over his last five with 6.2 boards per game, but his averages of 14.8 points, 0.8 steals and 1.4 triples make him worth owning in all leagues.

Jared Sullinger played 20 minutes against the Nuggets on Friday, shooting 4-of-13 from the field for eight points with two boards, one assist and one block. He picked up two fouls in the first five minutes and had foul trouble cost him some playing time. Sullinger has been arguably Boston's best player over the past couple weeks and his owners have no reason to worry.

Jared Sullinger had 12 points, eight rebounds, two steals, a block and zero 3-pointers on 5-of-15 shooting in Tuesday's win. He shot just one 3-pointer, which is surprising given how poorly he shot it tonight. He's hit a 3-pointer in all but four of his last 11 games, and has scored in double digits in nine of those. He's not going to go bananas on most nights, but is a quietly efficient big man that is going to hit 3-pointers for you.

Jared Sullinger had team highs with 21 points and 14 boards in Saturday's loss to the Bucks in 33 minutes. He shot 10-of-18 from the field and made a triple in yet another nice game. Sullinger is hitting on all cylinders as a starter, averaging 14.5 points, 9.2 boards, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 triples before tonight's gem. He really shouldn't be sitting on any waiver wires and it seems like only an injury can knock him from the notion of being a must-own player.
