As expected, Hauser will be unavailable for this game. Boston has already clinched the No. 2 seed in the East, so there is no reason for Hauser to suit up. Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh should take on much larger roles.

Hauser scored at least 20 points in a game once in the first three months of the year and has now done it twice already in April. The 28-year-old power forward made eight threes to give himself 24 points, which led the Celtics in the win over the Pelicans on Friday. Boston will wrap up the regular season on Sunday against the Magic.

Hauer started, but had just six points in 31 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Knicks. The 28-year-old power forward is once again available despite a back injury, but don’t expect much of a fantasy ceiling.

The Celtics made 11 three-pointers in their 53-point first quarter, and Hauser was responsible for nearly half of them. He shot 5-of-5 from distance, finishing the period with 17 points. Hauser didn’t make another three-pointer, but the damage was done. Add in the defensive contributions, and this was one of his better performances since the All-Star break. Given the current state of the Bucks, it would be unsurprising if Hauser had another good night on Friday in Milwaukee.

Hauser is relied on for points and three-pointers, and he was productive in those areas on Sunday. After making two of his eight three-point attempts in Friday’s win over the Mavericks, he shot 5-of-10 from deep against the Cavaliers. Add in the four rebounds, and Hauser’s performance was a good one for those rostering him in deep leagues.

Tatum will make his season debut on Friday, prompting a change to the Celtics’ starting lineup. Baylor Scheierman heads to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling, especially with Tatum not under a minutes restriction.

The Celtics being down two starters, Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, did not prevent Hauser from doing what he’s expected to in Monday’s 108-81 victory. He shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc while providing the bonus of a complete stat line. Hauser remains a player whose fantasy value is limited to one category, but on Monday, he showed he can do a bit more when the Celtics are shorthanded.

Hauser is most valuable to fantasy managers needing three-point production, and he’s made four triples in three of his last four appearances. Tuesday’s stat line included a bonus in the form of four assists, and he’s recorded 11 over his last three games. Hauser’s performance in Phoenix didn’t change much regarding his fantasy value moving forward, but the recent increase in assist production is a positive development.

Fantasy managers look to Hauser for three-point production, and he answered the call on Thursday. He’s now made four three-pointers in consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since January 26-28. The bonus for fantasy managers was the five assists, the most in a game for Hauser this season and one shy of his career-high. The Celtics don’t play again until Sunday, so there isn’t much to gain from adding Hauser in the immediate aftermath of Thursday’s performance.

Hauser was initially listed as probable, so his availability against the Bulls on Wednesday isn’t a surprise. The 28-year-old small forward missed Sunday’s loss to the Knicks with back spasms. His return will likely push Baylor Scheierman back to the bench.

Lower back spasms will keep Hauser out of Sunday’s matchup with the Knicks. The last time he missed a game, Wednesday’s win over the Rockets, the Celtics inserted Baylor Scheierman into the starting lineup. That could be the approach that Joe Mazzulla takes against the Knicks, but Scheierman is not a must-stream player in this spot.

Hauser is back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Rockets, the Celtics’ second game in as many nights. With the sharpshooter back in the fold, Luka Garza will head to the bench. And with Nikola Vučević available to make his Celtics’ debut, Garza’s limited fantasy value will take a hit.

Hauser will miss the second leg of this back-to-back, though with a thumb injury, it likely isn’t to manage an injury. With Jaylen Brown (hamstring, knee) doubtful, Payton Pritchard and either Jordan Walsh or Hugo Gonzalez should step into the starting unit.

In addition to providing the three-point production that deep-league managers expect, Hauser finished with solid numbers in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. This current run may not last for the rest of the season, but Hauser is worth picking up if he’s sitting on the waiver wire. Rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Hauser won’t be too hard to find.

Hauser took advantage of some additional shot opportunities with Peyton Pritchard (ankle) sitting this one out. The 28-year-old sharpshooter knocked down a surreal seven three-pointers in the opening half, finishing with 21 points, to help the Celtics race out to a 31-point lead at the break. He finished with double-digit three-pointers for the first time in his career, falling just three points shy of matching his previous career-high mark of 33 points. It was an unbelievable shooting performance and illustrative of the type of impact Hauser can have when he’s in a groove.

Hauser is good to go after initially being listed as questionable. As long as the hamstring doesn’t flare up, he’ll take on a more prominent role offensively since Jaylen Brown (back) is out.

Hauser was a late scratch for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, resulting in Hugo González starting and Jordan Walsh’s minutes matching those of Victor Wembanyama. If Hauser can’t play on Monday, the Celtics will stick with a rotation of González and Walsh.

Absent from the Celtics’ initial injury report, Hauser will not play due to tightness in his right hamstring. With Josh Minott (ankle) also out, Jordan Walsh will likely move into the starting lineup, and Hugo González should pick up a few additional minutes off the bench.

Hauser was feeling it in the early stages of the contest, hitting four three-pointers in the opening stanza as the Celtics built an early advantage. The 28-year-old sharpshooter doesn’t offer a ton of fantasy value as he’s prone to the typical ebbs and flows that a hot-and-cold three-point specialist typically deals with on a night-to-night basis. This was just his ninth double-digit scoring performance of the season.

The lone change to the Celtics’ starting lineup is Hauser, who replaces Jordan Walsh after hitting five three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Kings. While Walsh is the superior defender, Hauser’s three-point production gives him a solid chance of offering value in category leagues.

Less than one week removed from seven made threes against the Pacers, Hauser popped off for five triples against the Kings. The veteran sharpshooter also made contributions on the glass during his 29 minutes of game action. Hauser won’t provide much fantasy value aside from three-point shooting, but he’s a fine streaming option for those managers in category leagues who could use a boost to their three-point production.

Hauser provided a much-needed spark off the bench in this one, knocking down 7-of-8 from three-point range to help the Celtics go from down double-digits in the second quarter to running the Pacers out of the building by halftime. The 28-year-old sharpshooter has been hot-and-cold for extended stretches this year with this seven-trey outburst showcasing his scoring upside against weaker defensive teams.

The Celtics have been forced to make a change to their starting lineup, as Jaylen Brown is unavailable due to illness. Hauser will start, and he’s capable of providing streaming value to managers in need of three-point production.

Hauser left Monday’s loss to the Pistons with a left ankle sprain in the first half. The 28-year-old small forward was listed as probable for Friday’s game against the Heat so it’s no surprise that he’s ultimately available. Luckily for Hauser, the injury wasn’t serious.

Hauser exited Monday’s loss to the Pistons after spraining his left ankle during the first half. He’s probable to play on Friday, a sign that the injury wasn’t too serious. Hauser’s availability affects the minutes of Hugo González and Baylor Scheierman, with the latter likely falling out of the rotation entirely if Sam plays.

Hauser, who missed his lone shot attempt and did not record any other statistics, headed to the locker room immediately after spraining his left ankle. The Celtics announced that the forward was questionable to return, but he never did. Hugo González (five points, five rebounds and one three-pointer in 16 minutes) and Baylor Scheierman (one assist in 15 minutes) picked up a few additional minutes in Hauser’s absence, with Jordan Walsh’s (eight points, six rebounds, two steals and one three-pointer in 18 minutes) foul trouble also impacting their playing time.

Hauser hasn’t been able to provide much consistent value this season, but he has been solid lately, having hit four triples in two of his last three appearances. He started the first two games of the year but has been in a reserve role since then. Unless he gets the chance to start, he isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues, even if he has had a pair of strong performances recently.

Hauser was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t a surprise. Since starting the first two games of the season, Hauser has been in a reserve role, and his minutes have dwindled. Unless he gets the chance to start, he shouldn’t be rostered.

Hauser is dealing with a sprained right wrist, a potentially problematic issue since he is a right-handed shooter. However, the probable tag suggests that this isn’t a serious issue and that Hauser will play. His availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, especially with Josh Minott playing well as the starting power forward.
