2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tillman experienced an interesting season in 2023-24. The big man began the season in Memphis and started five games. He then missed most of November due to a knee issue. Tillman returned in December to a Grizzlies squad that would eventually become decimated by injuries. With Memphis facing an 18-33 record at the deadline, the Griz dealt Tillman to the Celtics for draft picks and Lamar Stevens. Tillman again experienced knee issues in February, which caused a slow start to his Celtics career. He didn't see real minutes as a Celtic until March. But then Tillman appeared in 16 of Boston's last 18 regular-season games and averaged 14.1 minutes per contest, with two starts. Boston then shrunk its rotation during its championship playoff run. Tillman appeared in only eight postseason games and averaged a modest 8.6 minutes of run over those contests. Still, the 25-year-old earned a championship ring, something that certainly wasn't going to happen in Memphis. The C's return essentially the same roster for 2024-25, leaving Tillman as a reserve. But Kristaps Porzingis will be out through November and possibly much of December due to offseason foot surgery. That means Al Horford, Luke Kornet and Tillman should all see more minutes at the five. At 38 years of age, Horford will still skip the second of back-to-backs. That leaves Kornet and Tillman with the occasional opportunity to see big minutes. Even when the injury-riddled Unicorn returns, he's no lock to play every night. Overall, Tillman's playing time will be erratic, with a mix of both starts and DNP's. Read Past Outlooks

Plays eight minutes in loss
Tillman closed Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in eight minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tillman made his first appearance of the postseason Friday with the Celtics getting run out of the building. Playing in his second season with Boston, Tillman was used very sparingly, as he appeared in 33 regular-season contests and averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.0 minutes. Tillman is owed $2.5 million in 2025-26 for the final year of his deal.

2020
Tillman played a key role for the Grizzlies last season, largely thanks to the fact that others around him missed time due to injury. In 19.3 minutes per night, he averaged a career-high 7.0 points, adding 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals. Although Brandon Clarke (Achilles) is likely to miss the entire 2023-24 season, Tillman's path to minutes remains a little uncertain. He should serve as the primary backup behind Steven Adams, although the Grizzles are almost certainly going to afford Jaren Jackson some minutes at the center spot as well. With a view to him playing no more than 18 minutes per night, Tillman should be seen as someone to target in the later rounds of deeper drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Praised by head coach Monday
Head coach Joe Mazzulla praised Tillman after earning a start in Monday's win over the Grizzlies, according to Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal. "He can still impact winning," Mazzulla said of Tillman. "I just appreciate who he is as a person and I think you've got to validate the roster at times. I know that he can still help us, and there may be an opportunity where he does. I was grateful that we were able to give him that opportunity to be able to do that."
ANALYSIS
Tillman is having the worst statistical year of his career and has been pretty much out of the rotation since October, seeing sporadic playing time and falling behind Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet in terms of depth at the center position. Tillman wasn't effective Monday, either, but with the team likely to rest players in the coming weeks and until the end of the season, Tillman could experience a bump in playing time going forward.
