Celtics' Sam Hauser: Iffy for Friday
Hauser (hip) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
After missing the last two games for the Celtics, Hauser could miss a third straight game while dealing with a pinched nerve in his right hip. If he's ruled out in New Orleans, Payton Pritchard may see a bump in minutes off the bench for Boston.

Celtics' Derrick White: Produces 22 points in win
White finished with 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 122-100 victory over Chicago.
The veteran point guard sat out the Celtics' last game with a shin bruise, but White looked fully healthy in his return. He's scored 20-plus points in four of his last six appearances but managed a combined total of just 11 points in the other two, averaging 16.2 points, 4.5 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 blocks over that stretch.

The 28-year-old wing has found his rhythm. Brown has popped for at least 20 points in three straight games and six of the last eight, averaging 22.6 points, 6.1 boards, 5.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch after struggling to get his shot to fall in the first half of January.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Erupts for season-high 34 in win
Porzingis provided 34 points (10-18 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-100 victory over Chicago.
The double-double was only the fourth of the season for Porzingis in 23 appearances, while the 34 points were a season high for the 29-year-old center. He's been mostly healthy in January, missing one game due to a minor foot issue and another due to an illness. When Porzingis has been on the court, he's been productive, averaging 20.5 points, 7.9 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks on the month while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and a dazzling 50.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Out against Bulls
Hauser (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Hauser will miss consecutive outings Wednesday with a right hip impingement after sitting out Monday's loss to the Rockets, and he'll aim to return to the Celtics' rotation Friday against the Pelicans. With Al Horford (toe) also unable to play against Chicago, sixth man Payton Pritchard appears to be in line for an uptick in playing time in Boston's tight rotation.

Celtics' Al Horford: Won't play Wednesday
Horford (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Horford will miss a second straight game for the Celtics as he deals with a left toe sprain. The veteran big man has been in and out of the lineup all season for Boston, which has led to more time for Luke Kornet, who will likely see a boost in minutes against Chicago.

Celtics' Derrick White: Off the injury report for Wednesday
White (shin) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Following a one-game absence with a right shin contusion in Monday's loss to the Rockets, White is all set to return to Boston's starting lineup Wednesday. With Jayson Tatum (knee) iffy against Chicago, White could have some more usage on his hands. Over his last six games, White has averaged 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 33.0 minutes.

Pritchard closed with 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.
Derrick White (leg) was unavailable and Al Horford (toe) was later reported as a late scratch, allowing Pritchard to be a bit more involved than usual. This game could give Pritchard a confidence boost, as he was held to single-digit points in his previous three games while shooting a combined 8-for-27 from the field.
