Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum finished with a game-high 36 points in the postseason loss to Philadelphia. Tatum's shooting woes continued, with the former Blue Devil going 11-for-27 from the field and 3-for-11 from deep. While he added 10 rebounds, five assists, and two steals, fantasy managers were hoping for more. With the C's one game away from elimination, Tatum could be in line for a big Game 6, so he remains worthy of a spot in any DFS lineup.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum finished with a 24-point, 18-rebound double-double in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. He also had six assists, four blocks, and one steal. Tatum had trouble getting things going, missing his first eight shots on the afternoon. But he made up for it by helping his team climb back from a 15-point deficit in the third quarter. The 25-year-old has struggled shooting during this series. However, he's at least continued to contribute in other areas. With the series knotted, Tatum should have added incentive to turn his shooting woes around in Game 5 on Tuesday night.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had 27 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and two steals in Friday's playoff win over the 76ers. He struggled in Game 2, finishing with only seven points while shooting 1-for-7 from the field. Although he went 3-for-11 from deep in this one, the 25-year-old did enough to lead his team to a win. It's apparent Philadelphia is committed to slowing down Tatum, so he may not be as productive in Game 4 on Sunday.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum finished with seven points in the postseason win over the 76ers on Wednesday. He shot a rough 1-for-7 from the field while failing to drain any of his three attempts from deep. Fortunately, the 25-year-old added seven rebounds, three assists, and a block, so DFS managers got a little something from him. However, it was a disappointing night for Tatum, who had 39 points in Game 1. In all fairness, the former Duke Blue Devil got himself into foul trouble, and the C's massive lead relegated him to only 19 minutes. But with the series knotted at one game a piece, he'll have an excellent chance to bounce back in Game 3 in Philly.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum opened the Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against Philadelphia with a team-high 39 points. The 25-year-old scoring machine got off to a hot start with a 26-point first half and finished with 14-for-25 shooting from the field. He was 4-for-5 from behind the arc and 7-for-8 at the foul line. Tatum also collected his fifth double-double of this postseason with 11 rebounds and capped off his line with five assists, one steal and one block. This was a superb performance from Tatum, but unfortunately for him and the Celtics, there was one guy even better on the court as James Harden led Philly to victory. We should see a big reaction to the loss from Boston in Game 2.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made it two double-doubles in two games for himself in the 2023 NBA playoffs by notching 29 points and 10 rebounds in Tuesday's 119-106 victory over Atlanta. He led the team in both categories and also recorded six assists with one steal and one block in 40 minutes. Tatum didn't put in a very efficient scoring performance in Game 1 and greatly improved on Tuesday, hitting 12-for-22 from the field with a 5-for-9 effort from deep. The Celtics are now 5-0 against Atlanta for the season, and the series appears to be heading toward a very quick finish, which will help Boston keep Tatum fresh for the next rounds.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Atlanta. He has a left hip contusion. However, the Celtics have already punched their postseason ticket, so he probably won't be out there. Jaylen Brown (finger) and Al Horford (back) are out, with Marcus Smart (neck) and Robert Williams III (knee) questionable. As a result, guys like Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Mike Muscala may be popular DFS options.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (neck) and forward Jayson Tatum (hip) will sit out Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. The Celtics are heading into the second game of a back-to-back and will take this opportunity to give some of their starters a rest day as they look towards the playoffs. Jaylen Brown should see massive usage on Wednesday while Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon also see increased roles.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) could sit out Wednesday's clash with the Raptors, with the team listing him as questionable for the game. Boston is completing a back-to-back, and Tatum played 38 minutes Tuesday versus Philadelphia, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get the night off, especially with Jaylen Brown (neck) ready to go after resting Tuesday. Brown has averaged a massive 32.0 points per game in five appearances without Tatum this season. There will be more shots available for Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White as well if Tatum doesn't play.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) officially received the questionable tag on Friday against the Utah Jazz due to a left hip contusion. This seems more to be a possible rest day during the second part of a back-to-back, but they could end up rolling Tatum out there with a few of the other starters that are currently questionable. If he doesn't suit up, Grant Williams could see a ton of playing time since Jaylen Brown (back) is also uncertain at the moment.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum led the charge as they took down the first-place Milwaukee Bucks by a whopping 41 points on Thursday night. He finished the game with 40 points, eight rebounds, and one assist while shooting a red-hot 12-for-18 from the floor and 8-for-10 from deep. Tatum was a +36 in this contest and he didn't even boast the highest mark in that category. As long as the first seed is still in reach, it seems like the Celtics will keep rolling Tatum and company out there to try and claim home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a great night against Indiana on Friday, scoring a game-high 34 points on 13-for-24 shooting in a 120-95 win. He was 3-for-9 from outside and bagged seven rebounds with two assists and two steals across 32 minutes. Tatum closed last week with a poor effort against Utah, but he's bounced back very well by putting up 30 points in back-to-back games. He'll be let loose against the struggling Spurs next, and in the favorable matchup, Tatum should build up further momentum ahead of the final few games of the season.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum led the team to a dominant and convincing win over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday to cap off their six-game road swing. He ended the game with 36 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals while shooting 14-for-25 from the floor and 2-for-7 from beyond the arc. His night at the free throw line wasn't great as he missed five of them, but Tatum was unstoppable anyway. He has now moved into the top 11 in terms of per-game value in nine-category leagues.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) will suit up for Friday's clash in Portland. Tatum had been listed as questionable because of a left hip contusion. However, he's good to go. The C's will also have Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (illness) in the lineup, so all three players could thrive against a Portland team that has struggled defensively in 2022-23.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The superstar forward suffered a left hip contusion after taking a hard fall during Wednesday's contest. The organization is likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a final decision on Tatum. That being said, fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Friday. The Celtics would likely use a committee approach with Grant Williams, Blake Griffin, and Al Horford if Tatum sits out.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a team-high 34 points and dominated the glass with 15 rebounds in Saturday's 134-125 win over Atlanta. He also had six assists and one block while posting only one turnover in 35 minutes. It was a very productive night for the 25-year-old star, although Tatum struggled a bit with his shooting, finishing 12-for-25 from the field and 5-for-15 from downtown. The All-Star Game MVP started March with an outstanding 41-point effort against Cleveland and is averaging 33.4 points for the month overall. Tatum appears to have hit his best form of the season just as things are about to get serious.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was up to his normal offensive brilliance as he sliced and diced the Trail Blazers on the way to a 115-93 win on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old dropped 30 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal while shooting 11-for-17 from the floor and 6-for-10 from three while hitting two of his four free throws. After missing one game, Tatum immediately got back to business. He's scored 30 or more three times in his last four games with two of those being 40-point games.

On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season.Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20

While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was ejected late in the fourth quarter from Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Tatum was unhappy with the officials and picked up his second technical of the game, leading to the ejection. Tatum finished with 14 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in 36 minutes. It is unlikely the league will give out any punishment to Tatum, but if he were to miss a game, Malcolm Brogdon and Grant Williams would likely see increased minutes.
