Celtics' Jayson Tatum (knee) starting on Thursday in place of injured Jaylen Brown
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum will start on Thursday in the team's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Tatum is returning from a one-game absence, as he was held out of the front leg of the back-to-back set as a precaution. With Jaylen Brown sidelined with a thumb injury, Tatum will simply fill in the open spot in the starting five.
Our models project Tatum for 37.5 FanDuel points across 35.0 minutes of action.
