Celtics' Sam Hauser: Comes up short in spot start
Rotowire
Hauser closed Tuesday's 104-96 victory over Brooklyn with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 29 minutes.
Hauser remained in the starting lineup after Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum were both ruled out due to knee injuries. Despite the promotion, Hauser failed to have a meaningful impact, scoring in single digits for the eighth time in the past 10 games.

Rotowire

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Logs career high in start
Rotowire
Hauser registered 33 points (11-23 FG, 9-19 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 114-108 victory over the Jazz.
The 27-year-old sharpshooter drew the spot start due to Jayson Tatum (knee) being sidelined, during which he recorded a game- and career-high mark in points. Hauser also connected on a season-high nine three-pointers, which is just one triple shy of tying his career high. The fourth-year forward has received inconsistent playing time when the club's starting five is fully healthy. However, he is always a candidate for a significant uptick in playing time whenever injuries to key contributors arise.

Hauser is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Hauser started Wednesday's game against Portland and logged 32 minutes with five points, six rebounds and one steal.

If that happens, guys like Jordan Walsh and Drew Peterson could become more involved for Boston.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Drops 15 in spot start
Rotowire
Hauser ended with 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 103-85 victory over Miami.
Getting the start in place of Jaylen Brown (knee), Hauser posted his best scoring effort since Jan. 22, which was the last time he found himself on the first unit. The fourth-year forward also tied his season high in three-pointers. He's delivered double-digit points in only two of his last eight appearances, averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 boards, 2.5 threes and 0.8 assists in 17.6 minutes a contest over that stretch, but if Brown misses any additional time, Hauser would have some appeal as a bargain DFS option.

Although Hauser is officially listed as questionable Friday, the 26-year-old forward expects to return to action after missing Boston's previous two contests due to a pinched nerve in his right hip.
