Impressive game off bench Sunday Pritchard accumulated 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 124-104 win over Denver.

Impact Pritchard recorded his third straight game with double-digit points, making it the first time this season he's reached that streak. However, he continues to play off the bench and his role varies on a game-to-game basis, so it's hard to trust him regularly outside of single-day slates or very deep formats.

Impact Pritchard took advantage of a blowout situation to see increased minutes in the second half, resulting in his second consecutive double-digit scoring effort. The second-year guard hasn't been fantasy-relevant, for the most part, this season, but he remains a key cog in Ime Udoka's nightly rotation.

Lightning strikes twice Pritchard amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 loss to Indiana.

Impact Pritchard has now had back-to-back strong outings after being buried deeper on the bench since the beginning of January. He's an unsustainable 7-of-13 from beyond the arc over this two game heater, but Pritchard can be a microwave scorer when called upon. He'll look to carry his momentum into Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Generates 19 points in win Pritchard produced 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds across 27 minutes in Saturday's 113-104 win in Detroit.

Impact Pritchard hadn't taken 12-plus field goal attempts since a Dec. 27 loss at Minnesota. It's been an up-and-down season for the second-year guard, but he's recently settled into a nice, steady bench role as Coach Ime Udoka has stuck with essentially an eight-man rotation. Over his last seven games, Pritchard has averaged 6.6 points, 3.0 assists and 1.1 treys over 15.7 minutes per game. Boston has won 11 of its last 12 contests. The Celtics will look to continue their winning ways Sunday at Indiana.

Notches season-high seven dimes Pritchard posted five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 135-87 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Marcus Smart left in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle, which opened the door for Pritchard to play his most minutes off the bench since Jan. 14. The backup point guard may be in store for another increased role Wednesday, as Smart has been deemed doubtful for the Celtics' final contest before the All-Star break.

Scores 17 points off bench Pritchard recorded 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Pritchard led all bench scorers with 17 points and notched his seventh double-digit scoring performance of the season. After a promising rookie campaign, the Oregon product has struggled in his second year, but he's certainly still capable off an occasional offensive outburst. With Marcus Smart (thigh/COVID-19 protocols) likely to return to the lineup soon, Pritchard will once again have to compete with Dennis Schroder as the top guard off the bench.
