Entering first unit
Hauser will start Saturday's game against the Raptors, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Hauser will fill in for the absent Jaylen Brown (illness). It'll be Hauser's fifth start of the season. In his first four starts, Hauser averaged 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists while knocking down an average of 2.8 three-pointers.

Drains five triples off bench
Hauser collected 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during the Celtics' 129-116 win over the Heat on Friday.
Analysis
Hauser came alive in the fourth quarter with four triples, and his efforts from deep helped the Celtics snap a two-game losing skid. His 15 points and five made triples were his most since Oct. 29 against the Cavaliers (21 points while going 7-for-13 from deep). Hauser doesn't provide much fantasy value outside of his contributions from beyond the arc.

Good to go Friday
Hauser (ankle) will play Friday against the Heat, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Analysis
Hauser was able to shed his probable tag after picking up this injury Monday. Over his last four games, Hauser is averaging 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Probable for Friday
Hauser (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Despite tweaking his ankle Monday against the Pistons, Hauser is expected to be in the rotation Friday. That will be the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Celtics could monitor him closely.

Doesn't return Monday
Hauser (ankle) failed to return to Monday's game against the Pistons. He didn't score (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in four minutes before exiting.
Analysis
Hauser departed the contest in the first half after suffering an ankle injury and was held out the rest of the way. It's safe to consider him day-to-day until the team has more information to share on Hauser's availability going forward.

Questionable to return
Hauser is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Robb of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Hauser limped off the court during the second quarter, and his return is now in doubt. He missed his lone shot in four minutes prior to exiting.

Exits to locker room
Hauser exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left ankle injury in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Hauser briefly remained in the game before eventually limping back to the locker room with 9:47 remaining in the second. If the forward is unable to return, Josh Minott and Hugo Gonzalez are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.
