Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers. This will be his sixth absence of the 2023-24 campaign. But truth be told, he's likely just taking the night off for the meeting with one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. Derrick White (back) and Jaylen Brown (hand) are available after missing the C's meeting with the Kings on Friday, so they should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end. However, this contest could get out of hand from a scoring standpoint, meaning White, Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis might spend more time on the bench than usual.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Portland. Tatum has only missed five games during the 2023-24 campaign. But truth be told, the C's don't need him against the 21-win Trail Blazers. The Celtics are the top team in the Eastern Conference by far, so fantasy managers should plan on him missing this one. With Jaylen Brown (hand) in danger of sitting out another contest, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, Sam Hauser, and Payton Pritchard could have more opportunities on the scoring end.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. He wasn't available for Friday's massive win over the Detroit Pistons because of right ankle impingement, an injury he's dealt with for the last few weeks. However, the Celtics have a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team could afford to give him the night off versus the worst team in the National Basketball Association. With Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) sidelined for this one, Tatum could thrive from a production standpoint.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game in Chicago. Tatum has made recent appearances on the injury report because of right ankle impingement. While he's mostly played through it, he finally got the night off on Friday against the Pistons. In all fairness, the C's did just fine without him versus arguably the worst team in the National Basketball Association. But with Jaylen Brown (ankle), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) sidelined versus the Bulls, Tatum could be in line for a big night from a statistical standpoint. Of course, guys like Derrick White, Sam Hauser, and Payton Pritchard should remain heavily involved, even more so if Tatum is also held off the floor.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) will miss Friday's game against the Pistons due to a toe sprain and could also miss Saturday's contest in the Windy City. Jayson Tatum (ankle) will also be out of the lineup with a right ankle injury. Sam Hauser (ankle) is available. He and Luke Kornet could see more time on the court against the worst team in the NBA. If that's the case, Kornet and Hauser could see plenty of attention from fantasy managers.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pistons. The former Blue Devil had 31 points, eight boards, three steals, and two blocks in Wednesday's three-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks. But he could get the night off against the worst team in the NBA to rest his ailing ankle. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) ruled out and Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), and Al Horford (toe) questionable, there might be chances for others to step up. Of course, Derrick White could benefit significantly without Tatum on the floor. At the same time, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser (ankle), who is probable, could see more attention from DFS managers.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) won't play against the Pistons on Monday. The Celtics star sits out the second leg of a back-to-back with a right ankle sprain after torching Washington with 30 points in 27 minutes on Sunday. Jaylen Brown (ankle) missed Sunday's game and will be back on Monday to show what he can do with extra usage against one of the weakest squads in the Association.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's tilt versus the Detroit Pistons, while Sam Hauser (ankle) is out. The durable Tatum is nursing a right ankle impingement on the second half of Boston's back-to-back after the team beat the Washington Wizards 130-104 on Sunday, threatening his status against the lowly Pistons. It's worth noting Tatum played only 27 minutes in that one, so he should have a decent chance of suiting up on Monday. After the red-hot Hauser sprained his left ankle on Sunday, he'll hope to return for Wednesday's battle with the Milwaukee Bucks. A huge boost in usage would be in store for Jaylen Brown (ankle) if he is active and Tatum is not. Across three games without Tatum this season, Brown averaged 33.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2.6 threes and could erupt against a Pistons clubs giving up the fifth-most points per game (120.1).

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Sunday versus the Wizards. Like Tatum's teammate, Jaylen Brown, he's dealing with a right ankle issue. However, the former Blue Devil will suit up, while Brown will sit this one out. With that in mind, Tatum will presumably pick up additional scoring opportunities. But if the Celtics build up a decisive lead throughout the contest, which is certainly possible against Washington, one of the worst teams in the NBA, he may log fewer minutes than usual. As a result, Tatum could have a tough time hitting value in DFS contests.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Portland. Tatum has missed only three games during the 2023-24 campaign. But the C's will play the Trail Blazers, one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. As a result, there's a chance he won't be out there on Monday night, and with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) already ruled out, Oshae Brissett and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be splitting time at the four spot.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Saturday night versus the Suns. He logged 39 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, so the ankle issue likely isn't anything serious. But at least fantasy managers can plan accordingly, although Tatum's condition is still worth monitoring moving forward. The 26-year-old has averaged 19.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 11 career meetings against the Suns, all down from his average this season. However, Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable, which could open the door for more scoring chances. Either way, Tatum remains a must-start in all formats.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has been listed as probable for Saturday's big matchup against Phoenix. He's on the injury report with right ankle impingement. Tatum should be able to shake off the probable tag before the game. He's had a couple of poor shooting nights on the bounce and must be eager to get going again this weekend. Strangely, Tatum has boosted his three-point percentage by nearly 10 percent to 45.3 since the All-Star break, but he's averaging fewer points. A meeting against a side that's allowing the 10th-most three-point attempts in the league looks like a good spot to kick back into gear.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) will play on Friday night versus the visiting Wizards. The 25-year-old amassed 20 points, nine boards, and seven assists in Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. However, he had trouble finding the bottom of the net from behind the arc, going 2-for-13. Perhaps his current illness was the culprit. With that in mind, Tatum shot 44.4% from deep against Washington in October, so there's reason for category managers to believe he'll turn things around in that area on Friday evening.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) is listed as questionable for the team's Friday night game against the Washington Wizards. He's currently listed as dealing with a non-COVID illness so the severity of the sickness isn't known at the moment. Seeing as they'll be going up against a weaker opponent, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to allow him to rest and get healthy for their next matchup. If he's unable to play, Jaylen Brown will see an uptick in usage while Jrue Holiday and Derrick White should both be in the starting five. Al Horford and Sam Hauser will also see some extra opportunities coming off of the bench.

Boston Celtics forwards Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Sam Hauser (shoulder) are not listed on the team's injury report for Wednesday's tilt versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Celtics are managing Tatum's workload after he sprained his left ankle back on Dec. 19, causing him to miss Monday's road loss to the Indiana Pacers, but he should be expected to take on his normal allotment of playing time on Wednesday. The 25-year-old four-time All-Star is rolling as of late, registering at least 25 points in each of his past seven outings with averages of 29.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 4.0 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals covering this span. With each of Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Jrue Holiday (elbow), and Al Horford (illness) questionable in a stiff matchup against Minnesota (NBA-best 44.7% opponent field-goal percentage), Hauser may have to jump into Boston's starting group based on who is available.

The Boston Celtics say that neither forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) nor Sam Hauser (shoulder) will be available on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics have been managing Tatum's sprained left ankle since he suffered the injury on Dec. 19, and they'll hope he can return for Wednesday's showdown versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hauser's status is worth noting as well because he would have been a likely candidate to replace Tatum in Boston's starting lineup. Depending on how head coach Joe Mazzulla lines things up against the Pacers, it leaves Al Horford and Payton Pritchard in play as possible DFS options. In 12 games as a starter this season, Horford is averaging 8.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.7 threes, and 1.5 blocks in 31.3 minutes.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Monday night game against the Indiana Pacers. This could be a sort of rest game for him since his listed injury is left ankle sprain management. Tatum was a big factor in the blowout win over the Pacers on Saturday as he dropped 38 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, and one steal while shooting 14-for-23 from the floor. If he's unable to play, Jaylen Brown will take on some more usage and Sam Hauser (shoulder) would likely move into the starting lineup if he gets upgraded from questionable to active.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has received a questionable tag ahead of their game against the Toronto Raptors on Friday due to left ankle sprain management. After an overtime battle against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday, the team has listed four of the starting five as either doubtful or questionable. They didn't want to be the team to end the Pistons' losing streak, so now they'll rest players in the second half of the back-to-back. Tatum still has a chance to play, but the team will likely see how he feels after warmups and make their decision at that point. If he watches from the sidelines, and Jaylen Brown (back) doesn't play either, Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett will see some more playing time.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is suiting up for Thursday's matchup versus the Detroit Pistons. The durable Tatum will give it a go for Boston against this dreadful Pistons group with a sprained left ankle that dates back to Dec. 19, having only missed one game with the injury on the following night. There is certainly some blowout risk to be had for DFS players looking to tee up Boston's franchise centerpiece with co-star Jaylen Brown (back) out on Thursday, but season-long managers should be deploying Tatum as they normally would in this advantageous environment. In 14 games without Brown since 2022-23, Tatum is administering 30.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 threes in 36.2 minutes per contest. The Celtics could be planning to alternate rest days between Tatum and Brown with the Toronto Raptors on deck for Friday, though that remains to be seen.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) could sit out Thursday's outing versus Detroit as the Eastern Conference leaders start a back-to-back. The Celtics are trying to manage a left ankle sprain with Tatum, and a matchup against the worst team in the league could be an ideal spot for taking a night off. He's officially regarded as questionable for the game. Tatum's absence could help Al Horford back into the starting five. The veteran has done well in extended minutes this season, posting 9.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.7 blocks in 10 starts.
