Sam Hauser's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According 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.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against Chicago. He's battling lower back spasms, sitting out for the second time in three games. Hauser's absence might give Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson extra playing opportunities, but they aren't good fantasy options. The returning Al Horford (rest) should also soak in some of the available minutes. It's a good matchup for Horford, as Chicago has struggled to defend opposing centers all season.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This was expected to happen after Hauser suffered a groin injury during their last game. The Celtics are going to be shorthanded at the forward spot with Jayson Tatum (knee) also heading to the sideline. The expectation is that Payton Pritchard, Al Horford, and possibly Drew Peterson gets additional playing time with Hauser and Tatum sidelined. Pritchard is the best streaming option between the three players for Thursday's game.
