Probable for Wednesday
FBoston Celtics
Ankle
May 13, 2025
Hauser (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes reports.
ANALYSIS
Hauser exited Game 1 against the Knicks due to a right ankle sprain and subsequently missed the next three games. With the team facing elimination and superstar Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out, a productive return from the 27-year-old would be significant for the Celtics. Hauser is averaging just 2.7 points in 12.8 minutes per game in six appearances this postseason.

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.
Hauser has two seasons to prove he's worthy of an NBA rotational spot. As a 24-year-old rookie last season, the Virginia product appeared in 26 games for the Celtics and 13 games for the G League Maine Celtics. With Maine, Hauser averaged a promising 20.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.4 made three-pointers over 35 minutes per G League contest. With Boston, Hauser only earned a meager 6.1 minutes per game, usually in mop-up time. On 44 NBA three-point attempts, Hauser drained 43.2 percent. The production was enough for the Celtics to sign Hauser to a small two-year deal this summer. The 6-foot-8 sharpshooter will need a few injuries to receive meaningful playing time on this deep roster, and coach Ime Udoka showed last season that he prefers shorter rotations. Expect modest minutes for Hauser, with the occasional visit to Maine to stay sharp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could feature in Game 5
FBoston Celtics
May 13, 2025
Hauser is dealing with an ankle injury but is probable to feature in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks on Wednesday, according to Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.
ANALYSIS
The fact that Hauser has been deemed as probable suggests he has a good chance of featuring off the bench in the role he's had all season long. Facing a 3-1 deficit in the series, the Celtics need all the help they can get to turn things around against the Knicks. Hauser might not be a game-changing player, but he can make an impact with his long-range shooting.
