Eligibility
Availability
Hauser (wrist) will be available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics’ official site reports. The forward will play through a sprained wrist and is expected to handle his usual workload.
Fantasy Impact
Hauser remains a steady perimeter threat for Boston, averaging 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 22.7 minutes per game across 11 appearances this season.
Sam Hauser (wrist) is likely to play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
Hauser finds himself on Boston's injury report due to a wrist issue, but it's not a serious issue and he is likely to play through it on Tuesday. He should see a full workload against the 76ers, but that isn't likely to lead to much success from a fantasy standpoint for him.
Sam Hauser recorded 21 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, and seven three-pointers in Wednesday's victory over the Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Hauser's shooting late in the first quarter was pivotal in helping Boston pull away. He was particularly hot during the team's 35-18 second-quarter run, shooting 5-of-6 from beyond the arc in that period. Hauser continues to provide excellent value in points and three-pointers, which are his expected areas of contribution. He remains an option for fantasy managers needing a boost in those specific categories but offers limited overall category-league value.
Sam Hauser was in the starting lineup for Boston's 117-116 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday but played only 22 minutes. He scored eight points (2-of-6 FG, 2-of-6 3Pt, 2-of-2 FT), adding two rebounds and one assist.
Fantasy Impact
Despite drawing the start, Hauser saw limited action. Anfernee Simons logged 32 minutes off the bench (scoring 13 points) and appeared to function as part of Boston's closing unit for a significant portion of the game. Hauser's low minute total is a concern. While he warrants holding onto for the time being, fantasy managers should monitor his playing time closely; if it doesn't increase, he may only hold value as a streaming option.
Sam Hauser is listed as probable for Game 5 on Wednesday against the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
Hauser is set to return after sitting out since he sprained his ankle in Game 1. He should take on a big role with the Celtics missing Jayson Tatum.
