Payton Pritchard Fantasy Stats

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (hip) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. A hip problem may keep Pritchard sidelined for only the second time this season. The 27-year-old has been among the league's top bench performers, averaging 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. If Pritchard is out on Saturday, Sam Hauser may have a more active role in the second unit against the Spurs, alongside Al Horford, who is set to land back on the bench with Jayson Tatum's (ankle) return.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (hip) is available on Wednesday against Portland. He appeared on the injury report because of left hip flexor tightness after scoring 11 points in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. But the 27-year-old was listed as probable, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be out there. With Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jrue Holiday (finger) all sidelined, Pritchard will likely enter the starting lineup. However, even if he doesn't start, he should be more productive than usual, making him a must-start in any fantasy setup.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (hip) was listed as probable on the team's injury report Wednesday and should be expected to play against the Portland Trail Blazers. Pritchard is dealing with left hip flexor tightness but hasn't missed any games as of late and should be able to play through the pain. The guard has averaged 14.2 PPG since early February and should be a solid option against Portland, who has started to give up more three point attempts over their last five games.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (illness) won't play on Sunday against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists, all career-highs. But he'll miss his first game of the year because of an illness. Without him, Sam Hauser should see more opportunities from off the bench.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) will play in Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old was questionable heading into this contest because of a sprained thumb. Luckily, the C's will have him out there for a touch matchup with the undefeated Cavs. While Pritchard comes off the bench, he has averaged 15.5 points and shot 41.9% from behind the arc, making him a welcome addition to any fantasy lineup.

According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com, Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Pritchard has averaged 17.3 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.8 minutes per game during his last 12 outings. He's yet to miss a contest this regular season, but if the 26-year-old cannot go, Sam Hauser will likely see an uptick in minutes on the court.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard scored a game-high 38 points in Sunday's 10-point win over the Wizards. The reserve nearly had a triple-double, adding 12 assists and nine rebounds. The C's were locked into the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference heading into this one, so the starters got the night off. Although Pritchard likely won't be as productive in the first round of the postseason, his efficient showings over the last two games will automatically give him more attention from fantasy managers ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard agreed to a four-year, $30 million (fully guaranteed) extension with the team. The 25-year-old played a career-low 13.4 minutes last season and expressed displeasure regarding his role. As a result, he sought a trade heading into the summer. However, with Grant Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, and Marcus Smart no longer on the roster, Pritchard is anticipated to see routine playing time during the 2023-24 campaign. The 2020 No. 26 overall pick has averaged 6.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 40.0% shooting from deep since entering the league. Those numbers will likely increase, so managers should keep him in mind late in fantasy drafts.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is entering his fourth year in the league and is eligible for an extension if they can work one out before the regular season begins. According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, the two sides began extension discussions after they dealt for Jrue Holiday. Pritchard is expected to be a key depth piece behind Holiday and Derrick White, so they want to make sure they have their bench options locked up. Reportedly, there's still a gap between both sides, so they'll need to cover some ground over the next few weeks. Pritchard should see more opportunities either way and he could become more fantasy-relevant in deeper leagues.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard recently mentioned that he'd rather be traded than play off the bench. The 25-year-old has played a minimal role on the team over the last three seasons. The organization has high praise for Pritchard and the way he plays the game. However, they don't have the minutes available for him on their current roster. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the team decide to move Pritchard in order to give him more minutes elsewhere. The problem with that is it's going to be difficult to find a team that is willing to give him a 25-minute role in the rotation. Pritchard has averaged 15.7 minutes per game over the last three seasons. He obviously feels that he can contribute more to the team, but it's uncertain if other organizations believe he can be a starter. That being said, the Celtics are likely going to have a tough time trying to find a trade partner willing to guarantee Pritchard significant minutes in the rotation.
