Jayson Tatum (knee) probable Wednesday for Celtics
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is probable to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Tatum was held out of Monday's game on the second leg of a back-to-back, but he is expected back in action on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown (knee, probable) and Al Horford are also set to return. As a result, Derrick White and Aaron Nesmith will move back to Boston's bench. There will also be fewer opportunities on offense for Marcus Smart.
numberFire's models currently project Tatum for 36.8 minutes and 44.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He scored 39.9 FanDuel points in his last outing versus the Heat.
