Payton Pritchard and Derrick White are both listed as probable for Saturday’s matchup against the Rockets, despite dealing with ankle and neck issues, respectively. Both guards played key roles in the Celtics’ narrow victory over the 76ers, contributing 15 points each. With their probable status, it seems likely they’ll be on the court, but Anfernee Simons could see an increased role if either player is sidelined.

Payton Pritchard delivered a versatile performance in Friday’s game against the 76ers, recording 15 points, five assists, two rebounds, and two steals. However, his shooting struggles from the perimeter continued, hitting just 1-of-9 from beyond the arc. With Jayson Tatum out this season, Pritchard has a chance to take on a larger role, but improving his three-point shooting will be crucial for maximizing his impact on the court.
