The pair of Celtics reserves recently sat down with Sam's brother Joey (a G League player himself) to talk about their respective paths to the NBA.
Sam Hauser dealt with some injury issues at the start of the season, but the key wing is starting to look and feel like himself.
Jayson Tatum scored 33 points, Kristaps Porzingis added 17 and the Boston Celtics rolled past the Miami Heat 103-85 on Monday night. Al Horford scored 16 points, Sam Hauser had 15 and Derrick White added 13 for the Celtics.
Al Horford dishes to Sam Hauser, who knocks down a long jumper in the fourth quarter for the Celtics.
His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Detroit. With the veteran guard sidelined, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely see a bump in minutes.

After a turbulent six-week period between December and January, the Boston Celtics have gotten their season back on track.
The Celtics starters haven't been at their best throughout this season, but they're looking to clean up their play with the playoffs creeping closer.
Tatum scored 20 points in the third quarter and Hauser got hot from 3-point range in Boston's 103-85 win over Miami.
The Celtics have extraordinary depth and virtually no weaknesses. They also have players off the bench — most notably Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Luke Kornet and Al Horford — who play their role extremely well. It also helps to have two All-NBA caliber stars in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Despite winning six of its past seven games, Boston has dropped three of its past four at TD Garden, contributing to an underwhelming 16-10 home record.
