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

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.
