Boston Celtics DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Washington. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is also out. 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.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics guardJrue Holiday(shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He continues to have trouble with his right shoulder and could take the night off after playing in four consecutive contests. Holiday on the shelf will boost the fantasy stock ofPayton Pritchard. Pritchard's production has risen to 16.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in games without Holiday this season, even as he has continued to come off the bench during these outings.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/centerAl Horford(toe) won't play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. He has been dealing with a left big toe sprain for a while and will need some time off to manage the lingering injury. Boston's frontcourt will also be withoutKristaps Porzingis(illness), leavingLuke Kornet,Neemias Queta, andXavier TillmanSr. as the only options at center. Kornet has more fantasy appeal as he finished 15 points, 16 rebounds, and four assists in Saturday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/centerKristaps Porzingis(illness) has been ruled for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. A mysterious illness caused Porzingis to miss a couple of weeks at the beginning of last month, and he is still coping with its effects, which led him to miss another game Wednesday night.Al Horford(toe) is also out for the contest, soLuke Kornet will have a hectic night in the frontcourt.Neemias QuetaandXavier TillmanSr. will likely provide cover at center.
