Brayden Burries vs Celtics — Reserve Value After Breakout Double-Double
Fresh off his first career double-double where he posted 17 points and 10 rebounds, Brayden Burries enters Sunday healthy and firmly in Milwaukee's rotation. With Tyler Herro starting, Burries is slated for a reserve role, though his fantasy ownership spiked to 40% following recent strong production. Over his last six contests, the rookie has averaged 11.2 points and 6.0 rebounds in 22.8 minutes.
For tonight's matchup against the Celtics at Fiserv Forum, our projection expects Burries to generate 19.8 fantasy points, backed by 10 points and five boards across 20 minutes. While Boston's defense presents a tough matchup, fantasy managers can also look forward to solid next week's volume with a four-game slate on tap.
