BOS • Forward • #30
about 17 hours ago
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.

Hauser replaced Josh Minott to start the second half of this game, but that didn’t lead to a good performance from either player. Hauser played 28 minutes to Minott’s 15, and it’s worth keeping an eye on to see if this is a move that will carry over into the Celtics’ game against the Wizards on Wednesday, or if this was just a result of Minott being in foul trouble again. Hauser is a good source of three-pointers, but Minott is a superior option in most other categories.

While Boston won the second quarter by a 35-18 margin, Hauser’s shooting late in the first quarter set the stage. The Celtics forward shot 5-of-6 from three in the second quarter, providing excellent value in the two categories he’s expected to. Hauser remains an option for managers needing points and three-pointers, but he will offer minimal category-league value overall.

The cost of contending for championships has gotten steeper, especially with the salary cap rules instituted in recent years. For the Celtics, the Achilles tendon rupture suffered by Jayson Tatum may impact how the front office approaches this offseason. If the team decides that a group that won’t have Tatum for most of the season can’t be a factor in the East, the decision could be made to shed salary. And Hauser, whose four-year, $45 million extension goes into effect next season, may be a prime candidate to be moved. “Hauser, to me, is the most likely candidate to go, just because you have (Baylor) Scheierman there to effectively fill his role,” Mannix said. “I think they’d love to find a home for Jrue Holiday, just because of the contract and where they are as a team. (Kristaps) Porzingis, who knows? I don’t think they want to take on contracts that go on longer than Porzingis’ deal, but he’s certainly available.” Hauser being traded would make Scheierman worth a look in deep fantasy leagues next season.

Hauser missed Games 2-4 after injuring his ankle in Game 1 of this series. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) done for the year, Hauser could be relied on to play extended minutes as Boston looks to keep its season alive.

Hauser has been out of the Celtics’ lineup since spraining his ankle during Game 1. His likely return will give Boston another rotation player to call upon, as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is out for the foreseeable future. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) still not back to full strength, Hauser will play rotation minutes if cleared, potentially as a starter.

While Hauser was listed as questionable for Game 4 with an ankle injury, he hasn’t seen any game action since leaving early in Game 1 of the series. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla turned to Payton Pritchard for a series-high 35 minutes off the bench in Game 3 as the Celtics got back in the series with a 22-point victory. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see that recipe for success replicated in Game 4.

After missing Games 2 and 3, Hauser is in danger of missing Game 4 as well. He exited early from Game 1, and head coach Joe Mazzulla relied on Payton Pritchard to take on even more minutes off the bench instead of turning to another reserve to fill Hauser’s minutes. That will likely remain true if Hauser misses Game 4.

As expected, Hauser will remain sidelined for a second straight game after exiting early from Game 1 and missing Game 2. Head coach Joe Mazzulla simply tightened up the rotation with Hauser gone, and he will likely continue to stick with an eight-man rotation as the Celtics look to get their first win of this series.

Hauser injured his ankle during the third quarter of Game 1 and did not play in Game 2 on Wednesday. The doubtful tag for Game 3 suggests he’ll remain sidelined, leaving the Celtics down a member of their bench rotation. Boston stuck with an eight-man rotation in Game 2 and will likely do the same on Saturday, with Payton Pritchard, Kristaps Porzingis (or Al Horford) and Luke Kornet coming off the bench.

Hauser was listed as doubtful, so his absence isn’t surprising. Head coach Joe Mazzulla will likely lean on his starters more in what could be considered a must-win game after the Celtics dropped Game 1 at home.

Hauser is dealing with a right ankle sprain and is a long shot to appear in Game 2 given his doubtful listing. The 27-year-old small forward curiously didn’t play in the first half of Game 1 before rolling his ankle in the third quarter as the Celtics lost to the Knicks in overtime. The Celtics could opt to rely more heavily on their starters for the rest of the series, though that may be difficult with Jaylen Brown at less than 100 percent and Kristaps Porzingis dealing with an illness.

Hauser rolled his ankle after challenging an OG Anunoby three-point attempt during the third quarter. Immediately hobbling back to the locker room while the Knicks wing attempted his free throws, Hauser has yet to return to the Celtics’ bench. Boston may rely on its starters more to close out Game 1, but they could be down a rotation player for Wednesday’s Game 2.

Hauser came off the bench and played 22 minutes in the Celtics’ 36-point victory over the Hornets Friday. The 27-year-old small forward was feeling it from behind the three-point line as he made six three-pointers on his way to a 20-point game. The Celtics have a rematch with the Hornets Sunday afternoon and it’s likely Hauser will once again have a significant role.

Hauser was held out of Monday’s win over the Kings, which led to Baylor Scheierman remaining in the Celtics’ rotation. With Hauser available, Scheierman’s minutes will likely decrease. The rookie has not been worth rostering in fantasy leagues, so nothing changes in that regard.

Hauser was scalding hot in Portland, shooting 8-of-10 from beyond the arc. While he did not provide much value in the other major fantasy categories, most managers know what they will get when streaming Hauser. The eight triples were one shy of his season-high, and Sam has reached double figures in three of his last four appearances. With the Celtics visiting Sacramento on Monday, there’s a chance Hauser gets another start, depending on who’s available.
