• Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Double-double off bench Sunday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Pritchard closed Sunday's 112-98 win over Washington with 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes off the bench. It was his second straight game with a double-double, although Thursday's effort came via assists and not boards. Pritchard has scored at least 15 points in eight of the last nine games while anchoring Boston's second unit, averaging 20.1 points, 5.6 boards, 4.9 threes 4.0 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor and 46.8 percent from beyond the arc.

• Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Standout performance off bench

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Pritchard notched 27 points (10-20 FG, 7-15 3Pt), four rebounds and 10 assists in 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over the Pistons. Pritchard continues to cement himself as one of the league's premier sixth men in 2024-25, as he's now gone for at least 19 points in seven of his last eight games following his first double-double of the season in the absence of superstar Jayson Tatum (knee) in Thursday's rout. However, Pritchard was held scoreless over 24 minutes during a Dec. 6 win over the Bucks during this period, which sheds some light on how volatile the 26-year-old sharpshooter tends to be. Overall, Pritchard is converting 46.4 percent of three-point attempts across his last eight games and should remain a strong source of points and triples for fantasy managers ahead of Sunday's soft matchup against Washington.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Pritchard finished Saturday's 127-121 loss to Memphis with 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes. Pritchard drilled six three-pointers during the loss, marking his third-highest total in the category this season. Pritchard has often entered the game to prop up a struggling backcourt, but Jrue Holiday's superb line proved that Pritchard's production can shine even when the first unit doesn't need immediate support. Pritchard is having a breakout season, averaging 16.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists through 24 games.

The Sixth Man of the Year candidate has recorded eight games with more than 20 points over 21 regular-season appearances, and he has provided an irreplaceable spark off the bench thus far. The 26-year-old sharpshooter has also contributed nine outings with more than five made three-pointers, and his efficiency from beyond the arc has been impressive during the 2024-25 campaign.
