Payton Pritchard

Payton Pritchard (neck) is good to go Monday night against the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard had previously been questionable with a neck issue, but he should be in his typical starting role on Monday.

Payton Pritchard was a late addition to the injury report on Monday due to neck spasms, leaving his availability for the evening's game against the Pistons in question. Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reported the downgrade.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard is now at risk of missing his first contest of the season. If the guard is unable to suit up, Derrick White would likely shoulder a heavier workload, while Anfernee Simons could see increased opportunities in the backcourt rotation.

Payton Pritchard flirted with a double-double for the Celtics Friday night, dishing out six assists and scoring 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3PT) while also recording one steal and grabbing two rebounds in a 126-105 win over the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard continues a steady stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds, three or more assists, and 10 or more points in each of his last four games. The guard has taken advantage of his role as part of a re-tooled Boston starting five, averaging 17.2 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 21.1% so far this season.

Payton Pritchard scored 42 points (15-22 FG, 6-11 3P, 6-6 FT) with three rebounds and three assists in the Celtics' 117-115 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard was one point short of tying his career high that he set earlier this year, though in a different NBA season. It was a bounce back in the biggest of ways after he put up just nine points in his previous game. Pritchard has stepped up for a weaker Boston team, averaging a career high in points, rebounds, and assists per game this season.

Payton Pritchard put up 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3PT) to go with eight assists, five rebounds, and two steals in Sunday's 138-129 win over the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Pritchard had a great showing on Sunday. Not only did he score 19 points over the course of the night, but he was able to contribute well is nearly every other facet of the game. He should continue to be a good fantasy asset moving forward.
