Payton Pritchard News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Ties season high off bench in loss Pritchard amassed 21 points (6-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-102 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Pritchard led all Celtics in scoring while tying a season high mark in points scored in extended time off the bench due to the blowout nature of Thursday's game. Pritchard, who also finished perfect at the free throw line, has surpassed the 20-point mark in four contests this year.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Pritchard amassed 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Monday's 133-131 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Pritchard made at least four three-pointers in a game for just the fourth time this season en route to his highest-scoring output since Dec. 20. He also tied his season high with seven rebounds. Since the beginning of January (18 appearances), Pritchard has averaged 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20.6 minutes per game.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production off bench Pritchard finished with nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime win over Detroit.

Impact Pritchard topped 20 minutes of playing time for the fifth time in the last seven matchups, but he was inefficient from beyond the arc and was unable to post a double-digit scoring total. Across his last seven outings, he's averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 22.4 minutes per game.

Impresses off bench Friday Pritchard had 21 points (7-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 128-111 win over the Magic.

Impact Pritchard tied his best scoring mark of the campaign, and while the nature of his role off the bench limits his upside considerably, he is prone to have scoring exploits from time to time due to his shooting ability. Even though Pritchard has scored in double digits in five of his last 11 contests, his upside is not very high even in the deeper formats.

Tallies three rebounds off bench Pritchard ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 14 minutes during Thursday's 116-107 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Pritchard had minimal shot volume Thursday and was held scoreless for the second time in the last four matchups. He's still managed to make some contributions through rebounds and assists during that time, but those results haven't been enough to make him a reliable fantasy consideration. Over five appearances this month, the 25-year-old has averaged 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 16.6 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held scoreless across 15 minutes Pritchard ended with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 122-112 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Coming into the contest, Pritchard had averaged 10.0 points on 47.8 percent shooting over his previous six appearances. However, he fell flat during the In-Season Tournament loss, missing all five of his shots en route to his first scoreless outing since Nov. 8. Pritchard is averaging a career-high 20.5 minutes per game this season, but he's not delivering consistent production.

Hits two triples in win Pritchard posted six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and two rebounds and zero turnovers over 20 minutes in Sunday's 113-103 home win over the Hawks.

Impact Sunday marked Jrue Holiday's (ankle) second consecutive missed game. Unfortunately, Pritchard once again was not able to seize the opportunity to earn extra minutes at point guard. Coach Joe Mazzulla decided to shift Derek White to the point and started Dalano Banton at shooting guard. Pritchard continues to struggle with his three-point shot. He is now shooting 32.2 percent this season from behind the arc.

Goes off in loss Pritchard notched 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 121-118 overtime loss to Charlotte.

Impact Pritchard dropped a season-high 21 points Monday, taking advantage of the absence of Derrick White (personal). While this was a great performance, managers should take note that prior to Monday, Pritchard had scored double-digits only twice. Viewing this as an outlier, he is not worth adding outside of very deep formats.

Shooting woes continue Pritchard eked out zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and two assists over 19 minutes in Saturday's 124-114 win in Brooklyn.

Impact On a night with fellow guard Derrick White (personal) out, Pritchard had an opportunity to see big minutes. But, unfortunately, FastPP's shooting woes continued despite Brooklyn's poor defense. The reserve guard is now shooting 29.6 percent from the field over Boston's first five games. On Saturday, he generated a minus-10 point differential. Expect Pritchard to eventually break out of his slump, but his minutes will stay minimal until he does so. Maybe he'll turn things around Monday night in Minnesota.

Just misses double-double Pritchard racked up 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and nine assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 win over the Pacers.

Impact The game was effectively over at halftime, and Boston's key bench players wound up seeing extra run as the team rested starters in the fourth quarter. Pritchard took advantage, nearly recording his second career double-double while scoring in double digits for the first time in 2023-24. The fourth-year guard won't see consistent usage in a deep Celtics' backcourt, but as he showed at the end of last season, Pritchard has the ability to post strong fantasy numbers when he gets the opportunity.

Struggles from field Pritchard amassed zero points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over the Wizards.

Impact After playing an average of 12.0 minutes in his previous two games, Pritchard saw extended run Monday due to the lopsided score. While he did a solid job rebounding and facilitating, Pritchard going 0-for-8 from the field was disappointing considering how hot he was in the preseason.
