Celtics' Payton Pritchard (heel) available Tuesday
Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (left heel pain) is probable for Tuesday versus the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Pritchard is ready to return from a nine-game absence. However, he isn't guaranteed to be part of the Celtics' rotation, especially with Jayson Tatum returning from a one-game absence.
Pritchard is averaging 9.0 minutes in three appearances since the All-Star break. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics are favored by 11.5 points, so Pritchard could see playing time if the game gets out of hand.
