Celtics' Payton Pritchard: On court during crunch time
Payton Pritchard registered 16 points (5-14 FGT, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 135-132 overtime loss to Indiana.Pritchard has bounced back from the 1-for-10 outing on Opening Night to score 15-plus points over his last four regular-season outings. Interestingly, Pritchard found himself on the floor during the fourth quarter and overtime alongside Derrick White as Jrue Holiday watched from the bench. It may have been a matchup decision by head coach Joe Mazulla to have Pritchard on the floor instead of Holiday, but it's clear the Boston Celtics trust Pritchard during high-pressure moments. Over his last four outings, Pritchard has averaged 19.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 28.4 minutes per game.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Shines off bench once again
Payton Pritchard recorded 19 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and a steal across 19 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 124-118 win over the Pistons.Pritchard has scored at least 15 points while draining at least five threes in his last two outings off the bench, and the former Oregon standout is enjoying an excellent start to the campaign. His overall fantasy upside shouldn't be very high due to the uncertainty that comes with his bench role. That said, Pritchard is turning quite a few heads with his play as an elite three-point shooting threat on a stacked Boston roster.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Strong numbers off bench
Payton Pritchard registered 15 points (5-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 win over the Wizards.The Boston Celtics cruised to an easy victory against the Wizards, and Pritchard made his presence felt off the bench with his efficient shooting from beyond the arc. He was limited to just three points across 25 minutes in the season-opening win against the Knicks on Tuesday, but he bounced back admirably here. If Pritchard finds a way to score in double digits off the bench regularly, he could play his way into fantasy relevancy in category-based leagues and deep formats.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Struggles from the field
Payton Pritchard provided three points (1-10 FG, 1-9 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 win over the Knicks.Pritchard was part of a messy fourth quarter where the Boston Celtics missed their last 13 three-point attempts as they tried to break the single-game record for most made threes. The game was well in hand for Boston by that point, so hunting for an NBA record was all in good fun. Expect Pritchard's shot to return Friday in Washington, and he should continue his role as a score-first guard off the bench moving forward.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Hands out nine dimes
Payton Pritchard delivered 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), five rebounds and nine assists across 24 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.Pritchard had an excellent showing, and there's no question he took advantage of the opportunity after the Boston Celtics decided to rest several players who featured in the win over the 76ers on Saturday. He will be the backup guard behind Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, but given how the Celtics' rotation is currently constructed, Pritchard is not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside outside of being a streaming alternative in deep formats.
