Impact The Celtics were missing both Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Jrue Holiday (knee) in this one, but Tatum stepped up and scored at least 25 points for the seventh time in nine games since the All-Star break. Over that stretch, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 25.3 points, 7.4 boards, 5.8 assists, 3.4 threes and 1.0 steals, numbers which actually represent a slight decline from his season-long performance.

Questionable for Monday night Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game at Portland, Celtics insider Marc D'Amico reports.

Impact The Celtics are listing several regulars as questionable Monday, so it looks as though they could use the front end of a back-to-back as an opportunity to build in some rest for their stars. Tatum was also listed as questionable with the same injury for Saturday's win over Phoenix, which he finished with 29 points, 10 boards, seven assists, one steal and five threes in 42 minutes.

For Jayson Tatum and the Celtics, a day off in sunny Arizona was just what they needed - The Boston Globe A chance to unwind after a disappointing defeat in Denver helped rejuvenate Boston.

Carries Boston to victory Saturday Tatum finished with 29 points (11-28 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 win over Phoenix.

Impact Jaylen Brown might have made history by knocking down his 1,000 three-pointer as a Celtics player, but Tatum also found a way to enter the record books and reached 4,000 field goals made with the franchise. Tatum continues to operate as the driving force on offense for the Celtics, and he's been so good this season that a 25-point outing now feels like an average outing for him. After finishing just three assists away from a triple-double, Tatum will aim to keep things going when the Celtics take on the Trail Blazers on Monday, as the star forward is averaging 25.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game since the beginning of March.
