Jared Sullinger hit a career-high four 3-pointers in Friday's easy win over the Cavs, and finished with 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting, four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
Sullinger is cementing his role in advance of Kelly Olynyk's eventual return, and that's good enough news for us to ignore some of the bad over the past two weeks, including a 44.1 percent mark from the field, 60 percent mark from the line and just 1.0 combined steals and blocks. He's still a top-110 value on the entire season and should be owned in all formats.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens has encouraged Jared Sullinger to take more 3-point shots this season.
Through 15 games this season, Sullinger is hoisting up 2.3 treys per game, and Stevens is happy to let him fire away from deep. Owners should be happy to hear things like this, as Sullinger can give you across the board production unlike most players, with 3's, rebounds, and blocks. Keep putting him out there, and hope for a healthy season.

Jared Sullinger (hand) blew up in a tough loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday, scoring 23 points with two 3-pointers, 12 rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes of action.
Ten of Sully's points came in the final two minutes of the game, as Boston mounted a failed comeback attempt. He's now averaging a strong double-double and nearly a steal and block per game as a starter and he should continue to thrive at least until Kelly Olynyk returns from his sprained ankle in a week or two. His back injury and self-admitted poor conditioning during training camp haven't slowed him down, and he's been a steal for anyone who plucked him off the waiver wire.

Jared Sullinger's hand swelled up on him during Monday's game against the Bobcats.
He was playing with a wrap on his wrist and has been pretty tough so far this year despite missing one game due to a knee injury earlier this month. Sullinger had five points, eight boards, two assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes. His multiple-category production makes him worth owning in standard leagues.

Jared Sullinger started at C on Saturday with Kelly Olynyk (ankle) unavailable, scoring 15 points with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 33 minutes.
Sullinger was questionable to play because of an illness but it didn't appear to limit him tonight. The Hawks' frontcourt is relatively small, which may have earned Sully the nod over Vitor Faverani, but either way he'll earn more minutes until Olynyk's return, which coach Brad Stevens said might be two weeks away.

Jared Sullinger played through an illness on Friday and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
"I'm exhausted," said Sullinger right after Friday's game in which he played 31 minutes with 13 points, five boards, two assists and a steal. If he can't go, it could be a good time for the Celtics to try to showcase Kris Humphries, for whatever that is worth.

Jared Sullinger played 31 minutes in his second start of the season on Friday, scoring 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting with five boards, two assists and one steal.
This was his second game in a row with 31 minutes and the conditioning concerns seemed to have subsided. Sullinger also missed today's walkthrough with an illness, so he wasn't 100 percent. Coach Brad Stevens used him at center and at power forward, so he's looking to be locked in as the main big man for the Celtics. He's worth owning in standard leagues.

Jared Sullinger grabbed a career-high 17 boards in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, adding 19 points and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.
It was his first start of the season and he did not disappoint at all. Despite the constant tinkering at center from coach Brad Stevens, Sullinger is likely to stick as the starting power forward. The Celtics are better when he's on the court and his conditioning and health are really the biggest obstacles from maintaining value. He's well worth a look in all leagues.

Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk will start for the Celtics on Wednesday.
They will replace Vitor Faverani and Brandon Bass. Coach Brad Stevens has been mixing and matching his starting unit all season, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. Sullinger's conditioning has been questioned by Stevens, so perhaps moving him into the starting lineup is a vote of confidence. Sullinger looks to be a player on the rise for the young Celtics.

Jared Sullinger had 10 points, nine rebounds and a 3-pointer on 4-of-10 shooting in 22 minutes off the Celtics bench on Tuesday.
He continues to impress, although he's also been inconsistent. He had three points and four rebounds on Saturday, but is a player who should get better for the Celtics as the season progresses.
