Celtics' Sam Hauser: Scores season-high 12 points
Rotowire
Hauser ended Tuesday's 123-101 victory over Philadelphia with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes.
The 12 points were a season-high output for Hauser, and this was the fifth time this season he's notched double-digit points. The 18-minute workload restricted his overall fantasy ceiling, but Hauser remains a specialist in three-point shooting, so he's better suited to be a waiver-wire pickup in category-based leagues rather than in standard formats.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Drains four triples off bench
Rotowire
Pritchard finished Tuesday's 123-101 win over Philadelphia with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes.
Pritchard delivered an efficient all-around performance off the bench, connecting on four three-pointers while adding solid rebounding and playmaking production. His consistent involvement in Boston's backcourt continues to support his fantasy appeal. He's scored in double digits in a season-long four consecutive games, averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game over that stretch.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Scores 21 points in win
Rotowire
Tatum notched 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-101 win over the 76ers.
Tatum delivered a balanced production while squaring off against former teammate Jaylen Brown, combining efficient perimeter shooting with useful rebounding, playmaking and rim protection. His two blocks added defensive value, while Boston's commanding fourth-quarter advantage kept him fresh in the latter stages of the contest. Tatum remains a reliable multi-category contributor with substantial scoring upside, and even if Paul George or Derrick White take over a game every now and then, Tatum's role as the Celtics' No. 1 scoring option won't change anytime soon. He's averaging 25.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game over his last five contests.
Celtics' Paul George: Drops game-high 36 points in win
Rotowire
George dropped 36 points (14-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-101 win over Philadelphia.
George made his return to Philadelphia after being swapped for Jaylen Brown over the summer, as the former Sixer spent the previous two years there. George delivered masterfully with a game-high 36 points and six three-pointers, and he's now scored 25-plus points in three of his last four outings while shooting a scorching-hot 51.4 percent (18-for-35 3Pt) from behind the arc over that stretch. Boston has now won four consecutive contests to improve to 9-2 on the season, and George's play certainly has a lot to do with that.
Conley is not listed in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Walsh will start Tuesday against the 76ers, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Joining Walsh in the first unit for Tuesday's game will be Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Paul George and Neemias Queta. As a starter this season, Walsh is averaging 5.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game.
Boston recalled Cenac from the G League's Maine Celtics on Monday.
Cenac has rejoined the NBA Celtics ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers, in which he's expected to serve as a bench option and is not guaranteed to see minutes of play. The young center is coming off a pair of appearances at the G League level, averaging 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest in that span.
George notched 27 points (11-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-97 victory over the Bucks.
George bounced back emphatically from Friday's eight-point performance, shooting 61.1 percent from the field while matching his season high with five made three-pointers. The veteran forward has now scored at least 25 points in two of his last three appearances, connecting on 12 triples during that stretch. Although his peripheral production was limited Sunday, George's scoring efficiency and three-point volume continue to bolster his fantasy value.
