Sam Hauser Fantasy Stats

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is available for Friday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Hauser has been dealing with a back issue that's already forced him to miss three of Boston's five games so far. The 26-year-old did return to action in the Celtics' most recent game on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. He played significantly fewer minutes against the Pacers compared to the opening night blowout against the New York Knicks, but much of that can be attributed to the game against the Pacers being much closer. Tonight's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets may provide an opportunity for Hauser to receive more minutes in garbage time if Boston, a 10.5 point favorite, blows out Charlotte. Fantasy managers may have better options to get into their starting lineup. DFS managers wanting to take a shot on a cheaper option may find more value in adding Hauser to their lineup than traditional fantasy managers.

Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports that Boston Celtics small forward Sam Hauser (back) will likely be available for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He played opening night against the New York Knicks, finishing with 10 points (4-10 FG), five rebounds, and an assist. Hauser was on the court for 24 minutes, coming off the bench during the 132-109 blowout win. Since then, the 26-year-old has missed three consecutive contests. Getting Hauser back will add even more firepower to the undefeated (4-0) Celtics.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) won't play in Monday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He appeared in the opening night win over the New York Knicks, finishing with 10 points and five rebounds. But the 26-year-old will now miss his third consecutive contest. His next chance to suit up will be on Wednesday versus the Pacers. But as far as Monday's contest is concerned, the C's will likely rely mostly on the starting lineup, which isn't bad for fantasy purposes. Payton Pritchard, Xavier Tillman Sr., and Luke Kornet could also be involved enough to warrant roster consideration in deeper fantasy setups.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Hauser began the 2024-25 campaign by scoring 10 points and pulling down five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since due to back pain. With that in mind, if Hauser misses a third consecutive contest, the C's may lean more on their starting unit. Xavier Tillman Sr., Luke Kornet, and Payton Pritchard could see the most minutes from off the bench, giving them an upside for those participating in deeper fantasy formats. All three will also draw value attention from DFS managers if Hauser stays off the floor.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Hauser had 10 points and five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. However, he'll now miss his second game of the 2024-25 campaign because of low back pain. Without Hauser, Payton Pritchard, coming off a 15-point effort on Thursday versus the Wizards, could see the floor even more. But if the Celtics build a decisive lead, Jordan Walsh, JD Davison, and Jaden Springer could pick up some minutes in garbage time.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day and now he'll sit out due to a lower back issue. The injury isn't considered to be serious, so Hauser should be back in the mix within a few days. The absence of Hauser should mean more minutes for Jordan Walsh, Xavier Tillman Sr., and Luke Kornet on Thursday. Tillman probably has the highest upside out of the three players for Thursday's slate. He finished with seven rebounds in 17 minutes during the season opener.

Boston Celtics small forward Sam Hauser is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Washington Wizards with lower-back pain. Hauser was able to log 24 minutes in Tuesday night's thrashing of the New York Knicks and put up 10 points while going 2-for-7 from deep. Those numbers are in line with what Hauser produced off the bench for Boston last season and aren't fully a beneficiary of garbage time. If Hauser is ruled out for Thursday's game, expect Xavier Tillman Sr. to get a bit more shooting volume at the forward position, though his scoring threats are more likely to happen in the interior rather than from deep. It's possible that Payton Pritchard may see more of an uptick in three-point attempts to make up for Hauser's absence if he is indeed ruled out. Fantasy managers should target Pritchard over Tillman if there's a choice between the two.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser agreed to a four-year, $45 million extension with the team. The 26-year-old was a routine option off the bench for Boston during the 2023-24 campaign, finishing the season by averaging a career-high 9.0 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 42.4% from behind the three-point line. While the C's usually lean heavily on the starting lineup, Hauser should continue to see minutes in 2024-25. However, unless he gets a spot-start at some point during the season, his fantasy upside is limited.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) is suiting up for Friday's game in Detroit. He recorded a career-high 30 points in Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle during the game, ending his day after logging only 23 minutes. The Celtics will get him back on a night. Al Horford (toe) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) are unavailable.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) is probable for Friday's game in Detroit. He amassed a career-high 30 points in Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle during the contest, ending his day after logging only 23 minutes. As a result, the 26-year-old sat out the C's previous two games. But the Celtics may get him back on a night when Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), Al Horford (toe), Jayson Tatum (ankle), and Jaylen Brown (ankle) may not play. On top of that, Jrue Holiday (shoulder) has already been ruled out. With this in mind, Hauser could be in line for another big game, assuming he enters the starting lineup.
