Out again Sunday Tatum (rest) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.
Impact The Celtics are holding out Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford for the final game of the regular season because the No. 1 seed is locked up. All six players are expected to be available for the playoffs.

Won't play Friday Tatum (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Tatum was questionable for Friday's matchup due to a right knee contusion, and the Celtics won't take any chances during the penultimate game of the regular season since they've already secured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Tatum's final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against the Wizards.

Questionable for Friday Tatum (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Tatum continues to deal with a right knee contusion, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back set. He wasn't very effective during Thursday's loss to the Knicks, tallying 18 points, seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 32 minutes. The Celtics have clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the team exercise caution with Tatum's workload over the final two games of the regular season.

Puts up 18 points Thursday Tatum racked up 18 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-109 loss to New York.
Impact Tatum struggled badly from three-point range and missed six of his seven attempts from beyond the arc, as he was unable to escape the Celtics' overall struggles in what was a woeful offensive performance from a team perspective. Tatum will have two more chances to get back on track before the start of the playoffs -- against the Hornets on Friday and the Wizards on Sunday.

Good to go against Knicks Tatum (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Knicks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact Tatum will play in his second straight contest Thursday after being upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with a right knee contusion. Tatum is averaging 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Questionable for Thursday Tatum (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to a right knee contusion, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Tatum was sidelined for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right knee contusion, but he returned to action Tuesday against Milwaukee and totaled 22 points, six assists, five rebounds and a block in 37 minutes. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the first half of a back-to-back set Thursday, but if he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see him handle a substantial workload.

Scores team-high 22 points Tuesday Tatum supplied 22 points (9-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Tatum returned from a one-game absence and was Boston's best offensive weapon by a wide margin, as he was the only Celtics player who reached the 20-point mark in what was a dreadful offensive showing from the team with the best record in The Association. Tatum should lead the Celtics offensively against the Knicks on Thursday, though his workload should be monitored -- after all, Boston has nothing to play for and there are only three games left in the regular season.

Good to go Tuesday Tatum (knee) isn't listed on Boston's injury report for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Tatum was sidelined for Sunday's win over Portland due to a right knee contusion but will return to action Tuesday. Over his last seven appearances, Tatum has averaged 26.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 36.0 minutes per game.

Inactive Sunday Tatum (knee) will not play Sunday versus Portland, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Impact Tatum will log his first absence since March 22, while Jaylen Brown (hand) has been cleared for action. Sam Hauser will likely operate with an enlarged workload and have a chance at vengeance after a 1-for-18 performance in a spot start during Friday's win over Sacramento.

Iffy against Portland Tatum is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a right knee contusion, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Tatum is in danger of missing his first game since March 22 on Sunday due to a right knee injury. If the star forward is ruled out, Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time.

Goes for 24 points in 29 minutes Tatum closed with 24 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 135-100 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Tatum was impressive Wednesday and left his mark on both ends of the court, ending just three boards shy of a double-double despite not reaching the 30-minute plateau. Even though Tatum has failed to surpass the 25-point mark in each of his last three appearances, the star forward keeps performing at a consistently high level, and the slight reduction in scoring numbers is not enough to call it a slump or anything like that. Over his last 10 outings, Tatum is averaging 29.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals per contest.

Notches double-double vs. Hornets Tatum posted 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 118-104 win over the Hornets.
Impact Tatum registered his 25th double-double of the season Monday, and he extended his streak of scoring 23 or more points to 11 games. Over that span, the five-time All-Star has averaged 29.3 points on 46.6 percent shooting (including 41.8 percent from three on 8.3 3PA/G), 7.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals over 36.6 minutes per game. With the Celtics close to clinching the best record in the NBA, Tatum will likely see his playing time wind down as Boston prioritizes health and rest ahead of the postseason.
