2025 Fantasy Outlook
As of late July, it appears that the starting power forward spot for Boston is a competition between Hauser and Chris Boucher. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This, of course, is due to the Achilles injury suffered by star Jayson Tatum back in May. Tatum is out for all of 2025-26, leaving a massive void at the power forward spot. And the situation could be made worse with the retirement of veteran Al Horford. Over four seasons, Hauser averaged 18.5 minutes per game and has only started in 40 out of 256 NBA game appearances (16%). Boucher has been coming off the bench for the past eight years in Toronto. Considering Hauser's experience within Coach Joe Mazzulla's system, Hauser probably has the edge. But at 6-foot-8 and a career average of only 2.9 rebounds per game, Hauser is not a prototypical power forward. Over his career, the bulk of Hauser's minutes have come at the wing. Regardless, considering the dearth of "big" options on the Boston roster, Hauser should see an improvement over the 22 minutes per game he's averaged over the past two seasons. More minutes should produce a slight uptick in most counting categories. In what might be a "bridge season" for the Celtics, 2025-26 could be the brightest opportunity in the 27-year-old's career.

Nets 15 points in 17 minutes
Hauser posted 15 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 FT, 7-7 FT), one rebound, two triples, one steal and one turnover across 17 minutes during Sunday's 138-107 preseason win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Hauser won't do much for you outside of points and triples, but if he's able to secure a starting role in Boston this season, he should be effective in those two categories. He's someone to consider as a late-round flier in deep leagues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The departure of Grant Williams to the Mavericks creates the opportunity, slightly, for Hauser to see more playing time for the Celtics. The wing appeared in 80 games for Boston last year, his second year with the club. At 16.1 minutes per contest, Hauser proved his G League days were behind him. The three-point specialist shot a blistering 41.8 percent from behind the arc and demonstrated improved defensive abilities. Despite his 6-foot-8 frame, he was undersized during his occasional stints at power forward. Big minutes for new teammate Kristaps Porzingis should limit Hauser to just wing duties. He's behind Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Lamar Stevens and probably Oshae Brissett on the wing pecking order, but again has a chance to play in 75-plus games, if healthy. The 25-year-old will need a few injuries on the depth chart to exceed last year's minutes per game. Fantasy-wise, Hauser will provide a boost in three-pointers, but little else, for teams in very deep leagues. Otherwise, he's waiver-wire fodder.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be starter for Boston
Hauser is likely to compete with Georges Niang for a starting spot in Boston, Brian Robb reported in his mailbag column for Mass Live on July 25.
ANALYSIS
Robb said it's important to note that Boston could make more changes this offseason, but as things currently stand, Hauser appears to be the favorite to open the season as the starting power forward. Niang will be his primary competition, while John Minott is described as a "potential wildcard." Hauser produced regular-season averages of 8.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers per game in 2024-25, but he could be poised for a career year due to Jayson Tatum being sidelined by an Achilles tear.
