Payton Pritchard Stats

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard earned himself elevated minutes in Tuesday's defeat to the Heat due to his offensive contributions, which wound up as an 18-point effort off the bench. Pritchard was immensely aggressive, recording 16 shots -- 11 from deep -- across 30 minutes, absorbing backcourt minutes and shot opportunities from Marcus Smart (foot). After hitting a quartet of triples in Game 7 vs. Milwaukee, Pritchard knocked down four more threes, this time adding five rebounds and four assists to round out his stat line. While Miami yielded the fewest DFS points per game to opposing point guards during the regular season, Pritchard will figure to have room for upside if Smart remains unavailable for Game 2 on Thursday.

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday game vs. San Antonio. Pritchard has played primarily a limited role off the bench for Boston this season, but he saw a drastic uptick in offensive usage during December, as he averaged 10 points and 2.9 assists per contest. With primary point guards Marcus Smart and Dennis Schroder back in action, Pritchard had likely fallen from fantasy relevance in all season-long formats, although his absence opens the door for the duo to see slightly elevated run in their own right.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He'll slide into the starting five with Marcus Smart (hand) unavailable for this contest. Pritchard is coming off a 16-point game and makes sense as a streaming option. The Celtics are shorthanded, so Pritchard stands to play plenty of minutes. He could be a cheap DFS option for Monday's slate. Brodric Thomas should back him up off the bench, but doesn't have as much appeal.

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard put in a great shift against Milwaukee on Christmas Day, providing 16 points off the bench with five rebounds and five assists. He shot 6-for-14 from the field and 4-for-8 from downtown, adding a steal and a block to his line in 30 minutes. Pritchard has started to make some noise lately due to the team's lineup problems. He's averaged over 25 minutes per game across his last four outings, going for 13.3 points, four rebounds and 2.8 assists with some defensive stats mixed in there as well. Boston has a whopping 10 players out because of health and safety protocols, meaning Pritchard could keep his current role for a while.
