Celtics, Payton Pritchard Working On Extension
1 year agoBoston 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.

Payton Pritchard Available On Wednesday Night
3 weeks agoBoston 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.

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.
