Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play in Thursday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. He has a case of right patella tendinopathy, so he'll miss his second game of the 2024-25 campaign. With Sam Hauser (adductor) also sidelined, Al Horford will likely enter the starting lineup and handle things at the four spot. But without Tatum on the floor, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis should benefit the most from an offensive standpoint.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (kneecap) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Detroit. He's trying to overcome right patella tendinopathy. The five-time All-Star recently missed a meeting with the Pistons due to the ailment. With Sam Hauser (adductor) doubtful for the game, Drew Peterson might return to the frontcourt rotation on Thursday. Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are also expected to do additional work. At the same time, there would be extra scoring opportunities for everybody involved.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will suit up on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks despite originally being listed as questionable. The superstar wing is listed with right patella tendinopathy, but the Celtics usually have a longer injury report when it comes to back-to-backs. Fantasy managers will want to check the injury report again on Saturday in case they give Tatum or Al Horford (toe) some rest. In the meantime, Tatum remains a must-start in all formats.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The former Duke Blue Devil has had arguably the best year of his career, averaging 28.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals. He wasn't available for Wednesday's matchup versus the Pistons. Of course, Jaylen Brown picked up most of the slack, scoring 28 points. If Tatum misses another game, Brown should be in line for another productive outing, even more so if Kristaps Porzingis (leg) doesn't suit up. The same can be said for Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Derrick White.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will not play on Wednesday against Detroit. He's nursing an issue with his kneecap, sitting out his first game of the season. Tatum's absence boosts the usage of the rest of the Celtics starters, with Sam Hauser and Al Horford getting a chance to play larger roles for the team. Boston remains a -12.5 favorite for the contest, meaning there should be plenty of opportunities for the entire rotation.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is in danger of missing his first contest of the season, as the team has listed him as questionable for Wednesday's encounter with Detroit. The Celtics superstar is dealing with right kneecap pain. Tatum was also questionable ahead of Monday's matchup against Miami but ended up logging his usual 36 minutes in the game. His shot was off during an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double performance. Al Horford and Sam Hauser will be candidates to replace Tatum in the starting unit if he can't go on Wednesday.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play against Miami on Monday. Following Sunday's 115-111 loss to Cleveland, Tatum carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report but has now been upgraded to available. He's coming off back-to-back 30-point games and will look to keep his hot three-point shooting stretch going on Monday. Tatum has shot 15-for-35 from downtown across his past four appearances. Miami gives up the 11th-most three-point attempts in the league.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) has been tagged as questionable on Monday and may sit out against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game yet this season, so a rest day may be in order to deal with his patella tendinopathy. If he actually is unable to play, Jaylen Brown (illness) and Derrick White (foot) are also questionable, so Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Drew Peterson may all get some added playing time.
According to Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the visiting Hawks. The multi-time All-Star was listed as questionable because of a sprained left ankle. However, that won't keep him off the floor on Tuesday night. Even better, he won't have any restrictions. Tatum has averaged 30.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals this season. But he could be even more productive versus a Hawks team that has allowed 121 points per game this season, the third-worst mark in the National Basketball Association.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Tatum appears to have suffered a minor ankle issue during Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics will likely wait until closer to tip-off on Tuesday before making a final decision on Tatum's status. If he sits, Jaylen Brown would be asked to take on a heavy workload in the scoring department. Also, Sam Hauser would likely be asked to start in place of Tatum. Hauser is a decent rotational player, but isn't worth a look in fantasy formats.
