Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. The C's are heading to the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, this will enable the club to rest some of their core performers, including Tatum, Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Jaylen Brown (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (knee), and Derrick White (neck). Without those guys on the floor, Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet are the safest options for DFS managers.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Magic. He had 32 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 47 minutes in Tuesday's overtime victory over the New York Knicks. However, the C's have secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so Tatum will take the night off to rest his ailing left ankle. Derrick White (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (knee), and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) have also been ruled out, and Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable. As a result, DFS managers could see increased production from Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Luke Kornet, and Baylor Scheierman, to name a few.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Knicks. He wasn't available for Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. As a result, Al Horford (knee) slid into the starting lineup, finishing with an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double. Horford has already been ruled out, so Sam Hauser, amassing 18 points, eight rebounds, and one block on Sunday, may work his way into the starting lineup if Tatum misses his second-straight contest.

But, truth be told, both players shouldn't be needed to get by the 17-win Wizards. With that said, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown (knee), who is available, should lead the way offensively, with Al Horford, Payton Pritchard, and Jrue Holiday in line for bigger roles.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) appears ready to return to action on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. Tatum missed Wednesday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns due to an ankle injury. However, he is expected to be back on the floor against San Antonio. Al Horford, who bagged a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double on Wednesday, will return to the bench with Tatum back. Tatum went off for 34 points in this season's first clash against the Spurs, adding 14 rebounds and seven assists to his tally.

The rest of Boston's big guns are completely healthy heading into Wednesday, so we can expect Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis to lead the offense. Al Horford is likely to step into the starting five if Tatum is ruled out.

Tatum is dealing with right knee tendinopathy, but his status has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Jaylen Brown (knee) absent from the lineup on Friday, we could see something special from Tatum, who has increased his scoring output in games without Brown this season to 30.5 points. With Boston back in action on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, we might see Brown returning and Tatum sitting out, which would then boost Brown's offensive usage.
