Payton Pritchard - Iffy for Tuesday Pritchard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Pritchard is in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season and his first since Jan. 17 due to neck spasms. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench, while Ron Harper could enter the rotation.

Impact Hauser caught fire from beyond the arc and appears to be a good fit alongside Jayson Tatum due to his floor spacing. Hauser won't have a big usage rate, but he will remain a solid three-point specialist in category formats.

Baylor Scheierman - Double-double from second unit Scheierman posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 109-98 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact It was the fourth double-double of the season for the second-year wing, and all of them have come since Feb. 4. With Jayson Tatum back in action. Scheierman has shifted to the second unit, but he's still holding onto a sizeable role in the rotation. He's drained at least one three-pointer in 15 straight games (13 starts), averaging 9.1 points, 6.2 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.7 threes in 26.1 minutes over that stretch.

Jayson Tatum - Hits for 20 against Cavs Tatum finished with 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 victory over Cleveland.

Impact In his second game back from an Achilles tear suffered in last season's playoffs, Tatum was again held under 30 minutes but was able to deliver solid offensive production despite some rust in his shooting form. With the Celtics trying to catch the Pistons for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, it's not clear just how quickly Boston will try to ramp up Tatum's workload, but the fact that he's playing at all is a huge boost to the team's fortunes.

Jaylen Brown - Teases triple-double in win Brown finished Sunday's 109-98 victory over the Cavaliers with 23 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes.

Impact The 29-year-old wing came close to producing his fourth triple-double of the season, and the seventh of his career. So far, the return of Jayson Tatum hasn't impacted Brown's numbers, but Tatum isn't quite seeing a full workload yet, having topped out at 27 minutes in his first two games of the season. Brown, meanwhile, has scored at least 20 points in 24 straight contests, and since the beginning of February he's delivered 26.3 points, 8.7 boards, 6.0 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals a game.
