Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown Injury Update for February 10 vs. Heat

Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown Injury Update for February 10 vs. Heat

NBA DraftKings Network News

Updated:

By: Alex Hunter

UPDATE: Tatum is available but Brown is out.

After blowing the Knicks out by 27 points Saturday, the Celtics may be shorthanded Monday vs. the Heat. Both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been listed as questionable due to knee injuries, while Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss his third straight game and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will return after being scratched Saturday vs. New York.

Tatum and Brown easily lead the Celtics in usage this season and if either of these All-Stars are active with the other inactive, that active player will benefit from an expanded role. Now, if both Tatum and Brown sit, Porzingis, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard will all see huge boosts to their workloads and all be elite DFS options. With Tatum and Brown off the floor this season, White, Pritchard and Porzingis have seen their usage rates increase 11.1, 8.8 and 6.8 percentage points, respectively.

Boston has yet to play a game without both Tatum and Brown this season, but the Celtics are 2-1 with Tatum inactive and 5-2 with Brown inactive.
