According to John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com, Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers due to an ankle injury. The 27-year-old will be sidelined after finishing with five points, six rebounds, and one steal across 32 minutes in a win over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Having Hauser out won't make much impact on the Celtics rotation, especially with the return of superstar forward Jayson Tatum (shoulder) after a one-game absence.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (hip) will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been dealing with a pinched nerve in his right hip lately. Hauser offers three-point shooting off the Celtics bench and has been exceptional with his work recently. Across his last four outings, the 27-year-old has made 12 shots from deep with a 60 percent efficiency. The Pelicans allow the seventh-most three-point attempts in the league, so this looks like a very favorable matchup for Hauser and the Celtics, who take the most three-pointers.
The Boston Celtics announced forward Sam Hauser (hip) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Hauser will be missing in action for the second straight game due to a right hip impingement. While Hauser is sidelined, Payton Pritchard will have an expanded role coming off the bench. Pritchard posted 15 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets. He went 5-for-6 from three-point land in the contest. Chicago gives up the third-most three-point attempts in the league, making this an excellent opportunity for the 27-year-old sharpshooter.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (hip) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He may have to sit out a second consecutive contest due to right hip impingement. Payton Pritchard will have a bigger role to play off the bench if Hauser remains out. He had his third outing of the month with 30-plus minutes on Monday versus the Houston Rockets, going 5-for-6 from downtown and finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Chicago gives up the third-most three-point attempts in the league, making this a juicy matchup for Pritchard.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (hip) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Monday. He is forced to exit the lineup due to a right hip impingement. Derrick White (shin) is also out on Monday, giving Payton Pritchard and Al Horford a chance to take on more prominent roles in the rotation. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from the pair, as both players have struggled to perform recently, and Monday's matchup is against a team that has the fourth-best defensive rating in the NBA.
According to Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) will play against the Orlando Magic on Monday. Hauser has been unavailable for the last two games due to lower back spasms. The 27-year-old has posted averages of 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 21 games this season. He's shooting a career-worst 37.3 percent from three-point range and will likely not impact fantasy much on Monday.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against Chicago. He's battling lower back spasms, sitting out for the second time in three games. Hauser's absence might give Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson extra playing opportunities, but they aren't good fantasy options. The returning Al Horford (rest) should also soak in some of the available minutes. It's a good matchup for Horford, as Chicago has struggled to defend opposing centers all season.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This was expected to happen after Hauser suffered a groin injury during their last game. The Celtics are going to be shorthanded at the forward spot with Jayson Tatum (knee) also heading to the sideline. The expectation is that Payton Pritchard, Al Horford, and possibly Drew Peterson gets additional playing time with Hauser and Tatum sidelined. Pritchard is the best streaming option between the three players for Thursday's game.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (adductor) is considered doubtful for Thursday's clash with the Pistons. He missed the second half of Saturday's 127-121 loss to Memphis due to an adductor strain, and it appears likely that Hauser will miss Thursday's game entirely because of the injury. Prior to last weekend, Hauser enjoyed a strong stretch of games, including his best scoring performance of the season with a 20-point effort against Detroit last week. He's averaging 8.5 points in 22.2 minutes. Hauser's absence may give Drew Peterson a role in the rotation, who recently logged 25-plus minutes in back-to-back games. However, Peterson wasn't impactful, so he's not a good fantasy option.
Sam Hauser Misses Monday's Game For Personal Reasons
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with Miami. After making his first start of the campaign on Sunday versus Cleveland, Hauser will exit the lineup due to personal reasons. Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), and Al Horford (toe) are all out as well, opening up a lot of minutes for Boston's reserves. Payton Pritchard should be a very attractive fantasy target, while Drew Peterson might be more involved in the action again. He logged a career-high 25 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 loss, scoring eight points and notching four rebounds with one steal.
