Fantasy Impact

Pritchard is on track to be sidelined to close the regular season. Ron Harper Jr. should see more run for the Celtics.

With Jaylen Brown out Thursday, Pritchard posted his first 20-point game since March 29 — 23 points (10-of-20 FGs), six assists, three three-pointers, and three rebounds in the loss to the Knicks.

He scored eight of those points in the third quarter as Boston erased a 12-point deficit and briefly took the lead, making the performance all the more impactful even in a losing effort.

Payton Pritchard led the second unit for the Celtics Friday night, chipping in 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3PT) while also dishing out six assists and grabbing three rebounds in a 133-101 win over the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds and 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The 28-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers one of many impactful options as part of a versatile Boston lineup, averaging 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game to go along with a 21.0% usage rate so far this season.

Payton Pritchard scored 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3PT, 6-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, six assists and one steal in the Celtics 114-99 win over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard took full advantage of the spot start in the absence of Derrick White. He also played a team-high 37 minutes. He continues to hold far more value when in the starting lineup.
