Won't play vs. Orlando Hauser (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Hauser connected on 39.3 percent of his three-point attempts, which is the first time in his five-year NBA career that he did not shoot above the 40 percent mark. Boston will lean more heavily on Dalano Banton, Max Shulga, Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman and Ron Harper against Orlando.

Available Friday Hauser (back) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Pelicans, per Jay King of The Athletic.

Impact As expected, Hauser will push through his probable tag and suit up for the second leg of a back-to-back set despite lingering low back spasms. With Jayson Tatum getting the night off to rest, Hauser could be in line for a slight uptick in usage and shot attempts.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Hauser (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact With Jayson Tatum resting and Jaylen Brown (Achilles) considered questionable, Hauser could see a bump in touches against the Pelicans, making him worth a stream for managers in need of three-pointers.

Will play Thursday Hauser (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Hauser has appeared in 26 straight games (25 starts), and he could see increased usage Thursday due to Jaylen Brown (Achilles) being out. Derrick White () and Neemias Queta () are also questionable. Hauser is a candidate to rest Friday against the Pelicans, espeically if he sees a major workload against New York.

Questionable to play Wednesday Hauser is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to low back spasms.

Impact Hauser has been a key member of the Celtics' starting lineup because of his three-point shooting and floor-spacing, so not having him would be a huge blow for Boston. Still, the questionable tag suggests a decision won't be made yet, and a final call on his status could be made closer to Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If Hauser ends up being ruled out, Payton Pritchard could take his place in the lineup.

Catches fire from deep Hauser ended Wednesday's 147-129 victory over the Heat with 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact Hauser moved back into the starting lineup Wednesday and responded with one of his best games of the campaign -- this was his third game with at least 23 points and his 11th game with at least five triples. This has the look of an outlier for fantasy hoops, however, as he's averaging 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.5 three-pointers across 73 appearances this season.

Starting Wednesday Hauser will start Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact After shifting to a bench role for Monday's matchup against the Hawks to make way for Jordan Walsh, Hauser will rejoin the first unit on Wednesday. The sharpshooter has been in a slump recently, averaging just 5.4 points in his past eight games, while shooting 30.3 percent from deep. Hauser will look to get back on track and provide his usual floor spacing alongside Jayson Tatum against Miami.

Shifting to bench Hauser isn't starting Monday's game against Atlanta, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact The Celtics are electing to give Jordan Walsh an opportunity to start Monday, and Hauser will make the corresponding move to the bench. He's averaging 10.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in his last five appearances as a reserve, dating back to a stretch from Dec. 22 to Jan. 1.

Quiet stretch continues Hauser closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and five rebounds across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 win over the Thunder.

Impact Hauser remains a streamer strictly for three-pointers in most fantasy leagues, though he's struggling to score at the moment. The sharpshooter has scored in single digits in five consecutive games, failing to knock down a single trey in three of them.

Impact With Jayson Tatum healthy and gobbling up touches in this offense, Hauser's fantasy appeal is going to take a hit. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 26.2 minutes per contest.
