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

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 club 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.
