Jayson Tatum is officially listed as questionable with a left shoulder strain ahead of tonight’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks.
Tatum has suited up for 38 of a possible 41 games so far this season and was active for last night’s 27-point victory over the Orlando Magic. The five-time All-Star finished with 30 points, six rebounds, and four assists across his 35 minutes of action in the blowout victory. The Celtics superstar has played in 12 consecutive games leading into this matchup, but tonight would be his third game across the past four nights.
Currently, the Celtics are nine-point favorites and -410 on the Moneyline ahead of the matchup with the Hawks. Atlanta holds +320 odds on the Moneyline and the over/under is set at 235 on DraftKings Sportsbook for this matchup. If he can go, Tatum holds props of over/under 27.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.5 made three-pointers, and 41.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Tatum is averaging 27.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists on the season. If he cannot suit up expect an increased role for Jaylen Brown and for Derrick White to also take on some additional offensive responsibility.
