Rotowire
Hauser ended Thursday's 120-106 win over Sacramento with 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes.

Hauser closed with four points (1-8 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to the Jazz.
Hauser offered very little in the loss, despite playing a season-high 28 minutes.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Catches fire from deep
Rotowire
Hauser finished Friday's 105-95 loss to the Knicks with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one steal and one block over 28 minutes.
Hauser had a quiet performance Opening Night against Philadelphia, but the fifth-year pro showed his sharpshooting prowess Friday, when he connected on a game-high six triples for the sixth time in his NBA career. Hauser should continue to operate as a catch-and-shoot wing for the Celtics, though he should see an uptick in opportunities on offense this season in the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles).
