Sam Hauser (ankle) is questionable heading into Monday's playoff matchup with the Knicks. He logged nearly four minutes in Game 1 before he suffered a sprained ankle. As a result, Hauser missed the C's previous two games. He could be in line for more work in Game 4, considering
Kristaps Porzingis is battling the residual effects of the illness that plagued him during the regular season. But it Hauser misses his third-straight contest, the starting lineup should get all the minutes they can handle, with
Payton Pritchard, amassing 23 points in Game 3, seeing extra action from off the bench.

Sam Hauser (ankle) is not expected to rejoin the lineup for Game 3 against the New York Knicks on Saturday, as he has been listed as doubtful on the injury report. The 27-year-old sniper was limited to four minutes due to an ankle injury in the series opener and appears set for a second consecutive absence.
Payton Pritchard will keep spearheading Boston's bench, yet the team might have to depend heavily on its starters after going down 2-0 in the series due to back-to-back home losses.

Sam Hauser (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. This outcome was always likely after the team labeled him as doubtful on the initial injury report. Hauser is nursing a right ankle sprain sustained during Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks. While Boston will miss Hauser's outside shooting, his impact has been limited in these playoffs, and the Celtics should cope easily without him, especially with
Jrue Holiday back in the lineup for the series and
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also available for Wednesday's contest.

Sam Hauser (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 2 against the New York Knicks. He injured his right ankle in the series opener on Monday night, and the doubtful tag suggests that it is unlikely we will see Hauser on the court in Game 2.
Al Horford and
Payton Pritchard are expected to share Hauser's minutes if he can't play. The two combined for 20 points and 10 rebounds in Monday's 108-105 overtime loss. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla may also consider incorporating
Baylor Scheierman into the rotation for a minor role.
