Jayson Tatum's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
