Dec 27, 2024 11:37 pm: Pritchard closed Friday's 142-105 victory over the Pacers with 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.
Analysis: After scoring in single digits in each of his past three outings, Pritchard broke out of that slump in a big way Friday, tallying his third double-double of the season while handing out a game-high 10 assists in Jrue Holiday's (shoulder) absence. While the streaky Pritchard has notched six 20-point games since Nov. 22, he's also logged six single-digit scoring outputs during this 16-game period, so he's proven to be a relatively inconsistent fantasy asset amid his breakout campaign as one of the league's premier sixth men off the bench. The 26-year-old sharpshooter is still playing a featured role for the Celtics, and although fantasy managers will have to deal with some poor shooting nights out of Pritchard, the guard has the ability to heat up in a hurry and score in bunches.
