Not starting Friday
Harper won't start Friday's game against the Heat, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Analiz
With Sam Hauser back in action following a one-game absence due to a thumb issue, Harper will slide to the second unit. The two-way player was productive during his spot start in Wednesday's win over Houston, but he isn't guaranteed to see significant playing time Friday.

Impressive in first NBA start
Harper registered 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Boston's 114-93 win over Houston on Wednesday.
Analiz
Harper has spent the vast majority of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics. Despite appearing in just seven games with Boston prior to Wednesday's contest, head coach Joe Mazulla gave Harper the starting nod for the first time in the latter's NBA career due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee). Harper took advantage of the opportunity, showcasing his energy with four offensive rebounds while showing his range from beyond the arc. Brown will likely be back for Friday's game against the Heat, but Harper's performance against Houston may have earned him some rotational minutes in the short term.

Starting Wednesday
Harper will start Wednesday against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Analiz
Harper has made just seven appearances for the Celtics this season and played a total of 35 minutes, but he'll get the starting nod Wednesday with Jaylen Brown (hamstring/knee) out. Joining Harper in the first unit will be Derrick White, Baylor Scheierman, Luka Garza and Neemias Queta.
