Should the Boston Celtics play Payton Pritchard more than they have been?


After seeing against the Toronto Raptors what Payton Pritchard can do when the Boston Celtics call his number, will we see more of the reserve guard on the court in the near future?

He was instrumental in a win in which star forward Jayson Tatum sat as the team manages his sore wrist and both Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III left the game late in the first half with injuries. It is clear the Celtics need a player as good as Pritchard given how injury-prone some of their key players are.

To talk it over soon after the Toronto win, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast took a deep dive into Fast PP’s importance for this contending team.
