ImpactTatum missed Monday's clash with Cleveland due to a knee contusion listing -- though rest in the second game of a back-to-back also likely had a hand -- but will be back in the mix Wednesday, presumably retaking his spot in the starting unit. He's tallied 40-plus points in two of the last three games and will aim to keep his hot stretch rolling versus Portland.

With Robert Williams (hamstring) out, Horford should continue to play an elevated role, and he's found his stride over the past eight games, averaging 13.9 points on 57/59/80 shooting, 7.4 boards and 3.3 assists in 33.1 minutes.
