Jayson Tatum
BOS • Forward-Guard • #0
Jayson Tatum (wrist) is doubtful for Friday’s Game 3 against the Magic.
Tatum missed Wednesday’s Game 2 victory with an injured right wrist, and he appears on track to remain out Friday night. Al Horford moved into the starting lineup, while Tatum’s absence also meant more opportunities for Payton Pritchard. Also, the Celtics will rely more on Jaylen Brown, who recorded a 36/10/5/1 line with five three-pointers in Game 2.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable to play against the Magic in Game 5 on Tuesday.
Brown has been listed as questionable for a third straight game. He was able to suit up for the first two. After scoring 21 points in Game 4 on Sunday, expect Brown to once again be a reliable scoring option on Tuesday. If he isn’t able to play, Sam Hauser or Payton Pritchard would likely move into the starting lineup.

Jaylen Brown finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over Orlando with 21 points (6-of-16 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 41 minutes.
Brown was inefficient from the floor in Sunday’s win, but a big night on the boards and great production from the free-throw line led him to a double-double. Brown’s double-double was in addition to Jayson Tatum’s, who finished with 37 points and 14 rebounds. The Celtics’ dynamic duo will aim for repeat performances on Tuesday with hopes of closing out the Magic in Game 5.

De’Andre Hunter provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-11 FGs), one rebound, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Game 5 against the Heat on Monday.
Hunter may have posted a dud in Game 1 of this series, but the last three games were all strong performances for him. That was more than enough to help Cleveland advance to the second round. 18 of his 19 points came before halftime, so Hunter certainly could’ve scored more if the game wasn’t over at that point. He’ll continue to play a significant role off the bench as the Cavaliers’ postseason run continues in the conference semifinals.

Kyle Anderson (illness) has been upgraded to available to play against the Cavaliers on Monday.
Anderson was a late addition to the injury report, but he will suit up for Game 4. Slo Mo played six minutes in Game 1 but didn’t see the floor in Game 2 or Game 3. Don’t expect that to change with Miami looking to keep its season alive.
