Jayson Tatum (ankle) set to return Monday for Celtics
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is not on the injury report Monday against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Tatum is set to return after sitting out the front end of the Celtics' back-to-back. Jaylen Brown (neck) is questionable and Al Horford (back) has been ruled out, so Tatum could return to an even larger role on offense. He will likely replace Derrick White in the starting lineup if Brown is active.
numberFire's models project Tatum for 36.3 minutes and 45.1 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $9,900 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Celtics' implied total (118.0) is No. 5 out of 20 active teams today.
