Ruled out with knee contusion Tatum (knee) will not play Monday versus Cleveland. Impact This is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Tatum played a whopping 49 minutes Sunday night, meaning his absence Monday is likely maintenance related. Al Horford (back) and Robert Williams (hamstring) are both out as well, so multiple rotational players will have to step up against the Cavaliers. Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Grant Williams and Mike Muscala are candidates to slide into the starting lineup, but the Celtics will presumably lean heavily on Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart as their go-to playmakers.
