Celtics rule out Jayson Tatum (illness) Monday versus Grizzlies

The Boston Celtics have ruled out forward Jayson Tatum (illness) for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

Tatum is a surprise scratch here after not showing up on any injury reports earlier in the day. The Celtics play again on Wednesday, hopefully giving Tatum enough time to recover from his sudden illness.

Jaylen Brown is likely up for a massive workload in tonight's game with both Tatum and Kemba Walker (rest) out, while either Semi Ojeleye or Grant Williams could enter the starting lineup. Brown has a $7,800 salary on FanDuel and is projected to score 38.7 fantasy points.
