Productive in blowout win
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.
Analyse
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.

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