76ers' Oshae Brissett: Continues solid run of play
Rotowire
Brissett accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 43 minutes during Monday's 144-137 overtime loss to the Rockets.
Brissett got the start in the frontcourt Monday due to the absences of Guerschon Yabusele (knee), Adem Bona (ankle) and Andre Drummond (toe). Brissett responded by scoring in double digits for the third straight appearance. It's been only three games, but Brissett has averaged 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals a night since joining the injury-depleted 76ers on March 14 via a 10-day contract.

76ers' Oshae Brissett: Gets 10-day deal
Rotowire
The 76ers signed Brissett to a 10-day contract Friday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The 76ers were granted a roster hardship exception to sign a second player to a 10-day contract, allowing the club to bring Brissett aboard on a short-term deal. The 26-year-old forward last played in the NBA during the 2023-24 season with the Celtics. He had been a free agent since the summer until he signed a contract in January with the G League's Long Island Nets. Over his 11 games with Long Island, Brissett averaged 12.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 25.5 minutes per contest. He'll be eligible to make his 76ers debut Friday versus the Pacers and could enter the rotation right away.

Oshae Brissett: Declines player option Sunday
Rotowire
Brissett declined his $2.5 million player option with the Celtics on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Brissett will become an unrestricted free agent after declining his player option Sunday. The 26-year-old spent one season with the team, and he averaged 3.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals across 11.5 minutes in 55 regular-season games. Brissett was a non-factor for Boston in the playoffs, and his departure likely signals a desire for a larger role elsewhere.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Rare appearance in win
Rotowire
Brissett closed Saturday's 106-93 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in one minute.
Brissett played one minute of garbage time as the Celtics held on for a relatively comfortable victory Saturday. Barring another sizable margin, Brissett is unlikely to leave the bench on most nights, especially as we get deeper into the playoffs.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Retreats to bench
Rotowire
Brissett will come off the bench for Monday's game against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Boston will experiment with a Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet starting frontcourt Monday. The duo of bigs is an interesting pairing, but it's more logical in the context of facing a Detroit frontcourt featuring Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Pitches in offensively in start
Rotowire
Brissett tallied seven points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 win over Washington.
Brissett earned his first starting nod of the season due to Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Derrick White (hand) all being out, contributing offensively and on the glass while finishing three points short of the double-digit scoring mark along with a quartet of boards. Brissett has scored seven or more points in eight games this season, adding four or more rebounds in two of those outings. He posted his highest point total since recording 11 points Feb. 14 against Brooklyn.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Getting first start of season
Rotowire
Brissett will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Brissett will make his first start of the season, as Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Derrick White (hand) are all out. Brissett has played 20-plus minutes just four times this season and averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 20.3 minutes during that stretch.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Seven boards in win
Rotowire
Brissett racked up three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 121-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
After collecting three straight DNP-Coach's Decisions, Brissett received 19 minutes of run on a night where the Celtics were missing Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Jrue Holiday (knee). The forward's high-energy motor was on display as he worked the glass. Four of his seven boards were on the offensive end, where Brissett's active hands shine. Boston's addition of Xavier Tillman has made for a confusing rotation for the backup bigs. The team will have many opportunities to experiment with Brissett, Tillman, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta as it rests the Unicorn and veteran Al Horford before a playoff run.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Logs nine minutes in win
Rotowire
Brissett produced one point (1-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across nine minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 victory over the Nets.
Brissett was a non-factor in the win, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games. Even with Kristaps Porzingis (back) sidelined, Brissett was unable to carve out a meaningful role. With Xavier Tillman recently added to the squad, Brissett's outlook is bleak.

After three straight scoreless outings, Brissett got on the board Sunday. However, he hasn't scored in double figures since Jan. 11 and hasn't played 20 minutes since Jan. 6, so he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars.

Celtics' Oshae Brissett: Six points in OT loss
Rotowire
Brissett chipped in six points (3-3 FG) and one steal across five minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 overtime loss to Golden State.
Tuesday marked Brissett's 12th appearance for Boston, and he likely only cracked the rotation because of Kristaps Porzingis' (calf) absence. After averaging 16.7 minutes over 65 games with the Pacers last season, Brissett has found it much harder to see playing time with the more talented Celtics. Of the reserves, only Al Horford, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet (thigh) have received consistent minutes. Newcomers Brissett, Dalano Banton, Lamar Stevens and Svi Mykhailiuk have struggled to earn consistent floor time. Expect that to continue unless Boston is suddenly hit with a rash of injuries.
