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 forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's tilt versus the Detroit Pistons, while Sam Hauser (ankle) is out. The durable Tatum is nursing a right ankle impingement on the second half of Boston's back-to-back after the team beat the Washington Wizards 130-104 on Sunday, threatening his status against the lowly Pistons. It's worth noting Tatum played only 27 minutes in that one, so he should have a decent chance of suiting up on Monday. After the red-hot Hauser sprained his left ankle on Sunday, he'll hope to return for Wednesday's battle with the Milwaukee Bucks. A huge boost in usage would be in store for Jaylen Brown (ankle) if he is active and Tatum is not. Across three games without Tatum this season, Brown averaged 33.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2.6 threes and could erupt against a Pistons club giving up the fifth-most points per game (120.1).
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) had a stellar game in Sunday's win over the Washington Wizards. The C's were down Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Derrick White (hand). As a result, the door was open for others to get more involved. While Jayson Tatum stuffed the stat sheet, as expected, Hauser amassed a career-high 30 points, shooting an efficient 10-for-13 from behind the arc. Unfortunately, his afternoon ended after just 23 minutes because of a sprained left ankle. Head coach Joe Mazzulla reported Hauser underwent X-rays. However, the team is still awaiting the results. But even if imaging comes back clean, fantasy managers likely won't see Hauser on the floor when Boston meets Detroit on Monday. That said, it's hard to tell who will benefit until the club releases an updated injury report heading into Monday evening.
Boston Celtics forwards Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett will join the starting lineup on Sunday against Washington. The two get a promotion to the first unit following injuries to Derrick White (hand) and Jaylen Brown (ankle). Brissett is starting for the first time this season, while Hauser will be rolling with starters for an eighth time in 2023-24. He's averaged 9.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in the role. The rest of the Boston bench could also get extended action in the game, as Washington sends out a short-handed squad that will likely struggle to keep pace with the Celtics.
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old didn't play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers because of an impingement in his right shoulder. However, it only cost him a game, so his absence was likely more for precautionary measures. Hauser is a vital component in the C's rotation this season. But he's averaging only 8.5 points and 3.6 rebounds, meaning his availability won't mean much for fantasy managers, especially with Jayson Tatum (ankle) also removed from the injury report.
