According to John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com, Boston Celtics forwardSam Hauser(ankle) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers due to an ankle injury. The 27-year-old will be sidelined after finishing with five points, six rebounds, and one steal across 32 minutes in a win over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Having Hauser out won't make much impact on the Celtics rotation, especially with the return of superstar forwardJayson Tatum(shoulder) after a one-game absence.

Boston Celtics forward 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.

The Boston Celtics announced forwardSam 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 Pritchardwill 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.

Boston Celtics forward 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.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (hip) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Monday. He is forced to exit the lineup due to a right hip impingement. Derrick White (shin) is also out on Monday, giving Payton Pritchard and Al Horford a chance to take on more prominent roles in the rotation. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from the pair, as both players have struggled to perform recently, and Monday's matchup is against a team that has the fourth-best defensive rating in the NBA.
