Jayson Tatum Injury Update: 4/6/25 vs. the Wizards

UPDATE: Boston will go big with Horford and Kornet starting for Porzingis and Tatum.

Entering Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown ($8,500) were listed as questionable with ankle and knee issues, respectively. Only one of the Jay’s will be playing, and that will be Brown, as Tatum has been ruled out. Kristaps Porzingis will also sit due to an illness. He was a late scratch.

With only five games left in the regular season and Boston locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, priority shifts to health and the playoffs.

Al Horford ($5,900) will likely start for Porzingis while Sam Hauser ($4,000) will likely get the nod for Tatum. Luke Kornet ($5,000) is also an option if Joe Mazzulla wants to go big.

Regardless of who starts, there’s a good chance everyone on the roster gets significant run, as Boston is a 19-point favorite at home. It should also be a fantasy-friendly environment because Washington is eighth in pace and 27th in defensive rating over the last 10 games.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
