Celtics' Sam Hauser: Scores 11 off bench
Hauser chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 loss to Detroit.
Hauser provided efficient perimeter scoring off Boston's bench, knocking down three of his five attempts from beyond the arc without committing a turnover. He finished with a plus-five rating despite the loss, though his 18-minute workload suggests his fantasy contributions will depend heavily on three-point shooting rather than consistent opportunities in other categories.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Hauser (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against Detroit.
Hauser didn't play in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia, though that was the case with most of the team's core performers. The 28-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists, all career highs, in 78 regular-season games, including 49 starts, during the 2025-26 campaign. Hauser could be in line for an even better season, especially if Paul George, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard miss time.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Not playing Friday
Hauser (rest) is not suiting up for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Hauser and other prominent Celtics players, like Jayson Tatum, Paul George and Derrick White, will rest for Friday's preseason finale. The Celtics will open their regular season Tuesday against the Pistons, and Hauser is once again expected to operate in a rotational role off the bench, though he'll be competing against the likes of Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman (rest), Hugo Gonzalez and Ron Harper for playing time.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Available Saturday
Hauser (rest) is available for Saturday's preseason contest against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Hauser didn't play in the preseason win over the Cavaliers on Thursday, but he'll be able to log minutes off the bench in this contest. Hauser has a strong grip on a rotation spot, and a strong showing in preseason could boost his chances to earn consistent playing time once the regular season starts. He's projected to open the season as the backup small forward behind Paul George.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: More three-point attempts coming
Hauser's role could become more secure following Boston's offseason shakeup with the team swapping Jaylen Brown for Paul George and other assets, John Schuhmann of NBA.com reports.
While George is expected to absorb most of Brown's minutes, George's recent durability concerns may create additional opportunities for Hauser on the wing throughout the season. Hauser should continue to provide elite three-point shooting, with his fantasy value receiving a boost whenever George requires maintenance days or misses time.

Hauser closed the 2025-26 regular season with 78 appearances and averages of 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Won't play vs. Orlando
Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
As expected, Hauser will join several other Celtics players on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he should be available for the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Hauser connected on 39.3 percent of his three-point attempts, which is the first time in his five-year NBA career that he did not shoot above the 40.0 percent mark.

Hauser (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
With Jayson Tatum resting and Jaylen Brown (Achilles) considered questionable, Hauser could see a bump in touches against the Pelicans, making him worth a stream for managers in need of three-pointers. He's appeared in 27 straight games, averaging 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 26.0 minutes during that stretch.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Will play Thursday
Hauser (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Derrick White (knee) and Neemias Queta (toe) are also questionable. Hauser is a candidate to rest Friday against the Pelicans, especially if he sees a major workload against New York.
