2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pritchard received a significant boost in playing time last season. During the 2022-23 season, Pritchard appeared in only 48 games and averaged a modest 13.4 minutes per game, a small decrease compared to the prior season. Last year, Pritchard appeared in all 82 regular-season games at 22.3 minutes per contest. He also appeared in all 18 of Boston's postseason games. The increased playing time corresponded with much better shooting percentages. The reserve guard shot 46.8 percent from the field and 82.1 percent from the foul line last season versus percentages of 41.2 and 75.0 in 2022-23. Pritchard also displayed a knack for draining buzzer-beating long threes, which everyone witnessed during the playoffs and NBA Finals. Pritchard's scoring flair has made him a fan favorite, but that won't change his role as a reserve. USA Olympians Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are locked in as the starting backcourt for many seasons to come. That leaves Pritchard fighting for minutes as the first guard off the bench. But much like last season, Pritchard has very little competition from Boston's other reserve guards. Jaden Springer is a defensive specialist and a work in progress. Rookie Baylor Scheierman, at 6-foot-6, is probably more of a small forward than a guard. And two-way contract guard JD Davison desperately needs to work on his outside shooting. Pritchard has three more seasons remaining on his current contract. Expect him to maintain his current role of "scoring off the bench" for the duration of that agreement. Read Past Outlooks

Scores 11 points in loss

ANALYSIS
The NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, Pritchard had a terrific 2024-25 campaign for the Celtics. Across 80 regular-season contests, Pritchard averaged 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from beyond the arc. A larger role for Pritchard could be on the table in 2025-26 due to Jayson Tatum (Achilles) facing a lengthy rehab.

After the departure of Marcus Smart to Memphis, more point guard minutes were available for Pritchard. However, Boston made a surprise move to land Jrue Holiday ahead of training camp. Malcolm Brogdon left in the deal, so it appears Pritchard could still wind up being the top guard behind Holiday and Derrick White to open the campaign. Pritchard will compete with Dalano Banton and possibly JD Davison (two-way contract), but it's the former's job to lose. Over three seasons with the Celtics, Pritchard has averaged 15.6 minutes per contest, with a healthy number of DNP-Coach's Decisions. The point guard's minutes trend has actually declined each season, due mostly to his struggles on the defensive end. Many opponents ran isolation plays directed at the diminutive Pritchard. On the offensive end, Pritchard gives the Celtics a quick boost of three-point shooting. His career average of 39 percent from behind the arc is notable. Last season, Pritchard produced per-36-minute results of 15.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.1 triples. As those stats show, he's a shoot-first point guard. Unfortunately, Pritchard is very unlikely to ever see 36 minutes per contest, unless Boston suffers multiple long-term injuries. But an improvement over last season's 13.4 minutes per contest is likely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Increased role incoming?
Pritchard could see an increased role in Game 2 versus the Magic on Wednesday due to Jayson Tatum being considered doubtful with a wrist issue, Brian Robb of Masslive.com reports
ANALYSIS
Pritchard, who just claimed the Sixth Man of the Year Award, was terrific in Game 1. In 25 minutes of action, he finished with 19 points, four three-pointers and three assists. "I thought he was just as good defensively as he was offensively," coach Joe Mazzulla said. "Just him pushing the pace on the offensive end, but really his physicality at the point of attack was big for us. I think he got two tip-out rebounds in the second half that were big for us."
