The Boston Celtics are relying on bench player Sam Hauser as they approach the 2026-27 NBA season. Historical data shows the team has a record of 90-19 when Hauser scores 10 or more points in a game. With recent roster changes, the Celtics need consistent contributions from their second unit, particularly from Hauser. While the team remains successful when he scores under 10 points, their win percentage drops significantly in those games.
