Celtics continue to look genius with latest Hugo Gonzalez breakout performance Hugo Gonzalez's career night propelled the short-handed Celtics to victory over the Bucks.

MARCH 3 • HARDWOODHOUDINI.COM

Career-best performance Gonzalez provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Gonzalez came out of nowhere, recording his second double-double of the season, in what was easily the best performance of his young career. With Jaylen Brown (illness) taking the night off, Gonzalez moved into the starting lineup for just the third time all year. While this was certainly a strong effort, there is no need to overreact, given that he had scored more than five points only twice in his previous 13 games.

Rejoins parent club The Celtics recalled Gonzalez from the G League's Maine Celtics following Monday's practice.

Impact Gonzalez and fellow rookie Amari Williams reported to Maine on Monday to practice with the G League squad as well as the rehabbing Jayson Tatum, who was cleared to take part in portions of the session in what marked a major milestone in his rehab program for his surgically repaired Achilles. As expected, Gonzalez was immediately recalled following the session, so he'll be available for the Celtics' next game Wednesday versus the Bulls.

Fails to fire in win Gonzalez provided two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings.

Impact Gonzalez offered very little in the way of tangible production, scoring no more than three points for the third time in the past four games. It's been an interesting rookie campaign thus far for Gonzalez, full of ups and downs. However, the downs have certainly outnumbered the ups, with Gonzalez averaging just 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, through his first 43 appearances.

Sends game to 2OT Gonzalez notched 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 130-126 double-overtime victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Gonzalez played just 19 minutes and only attempted four shots, but he arguably had the biggest impact on the outcome. Celtics head coach Joe Mazoulla inserted Gonzalez into the game for the final possession of the first overtime, where the rookie hit nothing but net on a game-tying corner three. It's worth monitoring whether or not he'll see additional minutes in the following games, especially after an impressive showing on the boards.

Muted role continues Gonzalez provided five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Gonzalez played fewer than 20 minutes for the fourth straight game, continuing his recent downward trend.

Given the uncertainty, it's hard to trust any of them outside of deeper formats.
