Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) officially cleared for Celtics Monday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is no longer on the injury report for Monday versus the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Tatum will play on Monday for the first time since January 8 after finally clearing the league's health and safety protocols. The Celtics could limit Tatum's workload following the long layoff. Kemba Walker will rest on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back and Payton Pritchard will not be available due to a knee injury. Jaylen Brown's usage will likely take a hit with Tatum back in action.
Tatum has a salary of $9,600 on Monday's 10-game slate. numberFire's models don't anticipate the Celtics easing Tatum back into the mix as we project him for 33.8 minutes and 40.2 FanDuel points versus the Bulls.
