Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also misses the game. Pritchard recently bagged his first double-double of the campaign and put up 23 points against Detroit on Monday.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. He scored a career-high 30 points in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle during the contest and was ruled out after logging just 23 minutes. As a result, the 26-year-old wasn't available on Sunday versus Detroit. The Celtics also have Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) on their injury report, so Hauser could be in line for more scoring opportunities against the Bucks. But if Hauser, Brown, or Holiday don't play, Payton Pritchard, fresh off a 23-point performance, would become a viable streaming option.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. It will be a battle between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. However, both clubs could be without some of their top performers. Holiday wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons because of an AC joint sprain. But with Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Sam Hauser (ankle) questionable, the Celtics may rely mainly on Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White for production. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 23-point performance on Sunday, would also be an ideal streaming option if Brown, Holiday, or Hauser don't suit up.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Eastern Conference clash with the Bucks. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle. However, the injury isn't new, with Brown missing two of the C's previous four games. That said, Boston has a comfortable lead on Milwaukee in the standings, so Brown can afford to take another night off. But with Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Sam Hauser (ankle) questionable, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis might pick up more scoring opportunities. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 23-point performance, might also see some interest from DFS managers looking for a low-cost, high-upside addition to their lineups.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will return from a five-game absence on Monday versus Detroit, with the team upgrading him from probable to available ahead of the contest. He's a natural replacement in the lineup for Al Horford (toe), who gets the night off, while Porzingis could play a larger role offensively due to the absence of Jayson Tatum (ankle). However, as he was out with a hamstring strain, Boston might want to take it easy with Porzingis and not push him too hard in an easy matchup, which already smells like a blowout before the tip-off.
