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.

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.

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.

3 months agoAccording 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.
