Walsh (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh was sidelined for Friday's 120-100 win over the Mavericks due to an illness, but the third-year pro has recovered enough to return for Sunday's road tilt. His minutes were set to take a sizable hit due to the return of Jayson Tatum, but Walsh could still see some meaningful playing time for the next couple of weeks due to the absence of Nikola Vucevic (finger).

Walsh (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh is under the weather and will miss Friday's contest, but he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to be available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Walsh's absence shouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation all that much, seeing as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has been cleared to make his 2025-26 debut against Dallas.

Walsh (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 13.0 minutes over his last seven appearances, and minutes will be hard to come by with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) targeting his debut against Dallas.

Walsh ended with four points (2-2 FG, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 103-84 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh logged 14 minutes in the loss, most of which came during garbage time. While it has been a somewhat encouraging season for Walsh, his role in recent times has been less than ideal. In 12 games over the past month, he has seen just 13.8 minutes per game, putting up 4.2 points and 3.5 rebounds. At this point, he should not be rostered in any moderately competitive league.

Walsh recorded 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh had been quiet lately, but he turned in his first double-digit scoring night since Jan. 3. His versatility was on full display, and the large margin of victory helped him see additional run. Walsh can deliver when called upon, but his role hasn't been as consistent as it was at the start of the campaign.

Walsh (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Celtics' 98-96 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

With Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee) and Sam Hauser (thumb) returning from one-game absences and with Nikola Vucevic making his Celtics debut, head coach Joe Mazzulla opted to remove Walsh from the rotation. Though defense is Walsh's calling card, his lack of productivity on the offensive end looks as though it cost him his spot in the second unit Friday. Since moving out of the starting five Jan. 3, Walsh has shot just 38.3 percent from the field and 25.8 percent from three-point range in 18 appearances. Walsh's move outside of the rotation may not necessarily be a permanent one, but even if he gets some minutes in the Celtics' next game Sunday versus the Knicks, he shouldn't be expected to deliver much fantasy value.

Walsh logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 10 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh went scoreless in the win, now serving as nothing more than a depth piece for the Celtics. Outside of a brief run earlier in the season, Walsh seems as though his time as a viable fantasy asset has come and gone. At this point, there is no reason to be holding him, even in deeper formats.

Walsh ended with five points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 112-93 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh was used sparingly again, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the seventh time in the past eight games. With Sam Hauser seemingly taking hold of the starting power forward position, Walsh has been relegated to a depth role. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged just 3.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 300 in nine-category formats.

Walsh ended with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 98-96 loss to Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh logged 26 minutes in the loss, which is the most he has played in his past five games. After a stint in the starting lineup, Walsh has since been reduced to a limited role off the bench. In four games over the past week, Walsh has averaged just 1.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.0 minutes per game. Given the uncertainty in Boston, there is no reason to consider Walsh a pickup based on this effort.

Walsh closed with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 146-115 victory over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Shifting to the second unit while Sam Hauser got a start at the four, Walsh produced his second double-double of the season, with the other coming Nov. 20 against the Cavaliers. Walsh's production has been on the decline in the starting five -- he'd failed to score in double digits, or pull down more than seven boards, in seven straight games -- but it's not yet clear if Saturday's effort will be enough for the third-year forward to regain his spot.
