2025 Fantasy Outlook
In August, Boucher signed a one-year deal with the Celtics. The lengthy 6-foot-9 big man joins a frontcourt mix in Boston that is woefully thin. Boucher will be competing with fellow NBA career reserves Neemias Queta, Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman for minutes at the five. This season could provide an excellent opportunity for Boucher to exceed his career-high 24.2 minutes per game, which he experienced with Toronto back in 2020-21. On the other hand, Boucher is a 32-year-old veteran whose best playing days may be behind him. His skinny frame and length imply a high shot block count, but Boucher averaged only 1.0 block per 36 minutes last season. That said, Boucher averaged 2.8 blocks per 36 minutes back in 2020-21. We'll see if Coach Mazzulla lets Boucher sell out for blocks or forces him to focus on rebounding. Boston's poor team rebounding might force Boucher to stay conservative. Boucher will probably love Mazzulla's affection for three-point shooting. Last season, 53 percent of Boucher's shot attempts were from long distance. Boston shot the highest quantity of threes last season, so expect Boucher to continue to bomb away from behind the arc. He's a 34 percent career three-point shooter. Early on, Queta will probably start for the Celtics due to two seasons with Boston. But in what is a "bridge season" for the C's, expect to see plenty of lineup changes throughout the year. After a few disappointing seasons, Boucher's arrow is pointing slightly up. Read Past Outlooks

Not starting Wednesday
Boucher is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Boucher started in all of Boston's preseason games, so while he'll come off the bench in Wednesday's opener, he could still find his way back into the first unit at some point. That said, as a reserve player in Boston, he's not the most attractive option in standard formats.

Boucher suffered a partial MCL tear in his right knee in March that caused him to miss the final 18 games of the 2023-24 campaign. Even when the 31-year-old big man was on the floor, Boucher had his least productive season since 2018-19. In 50 regular-season appearances, Boucher averaged 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes. The 7-foot-4 center did display solid efficiency, posting 50.7/33.0/77.2 shooting splits. However, a reduction in playing time allowed Boucher to record just 0.5 blocks per contest, a sharp decline from previous seasons. With Jakob Poeltl, Kelly Olynyk, Scottie Barnes and Ochai Agbaji seemingly ahead of Boucher in the frontcourt depth chart for 2024-25, it seems unlikely Boucher will receive increased playing time. Unless there are injuries ahead of him in Toronto's pecking order, Boucher's limited role leaves him without much fantasy value for next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Lineup will be fluid
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Tuesday that his starting lineup will be fluid this season, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Celtics open the season against the 76ers on Wednesday, and Mazzulla said that lineup won't be what he uses every night. Most of Boston's rotation questions involve the frontcourt, though Boucher was heavily involved with the team during the preseason -- he was used at power forward and center. In four exhibitions, Boucher averaged 10.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers.
