Reggie Jackson - Questionable SaturdayJackson is listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Pacers due to left Achilles soreness.
ImpactJackson has already missed two games in December due to lingering pain in his left Achilles and is iffy for Saturday's contest. He has logged 25 or fewer minutes in four of his last five games while averaging 11.2 points across that span. If Jackson were to miss, John Wall would likely enter the starting lineup and Terance Mann could see an expanded role.

Nicolas Batum - Questionable SaturdayBatum is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers with a left ankle sprain.
ImpactBatum is questionable to miss his first game of the season Saturday. Robert Covington, Amir Coffey and Marcus Morris are candidates to see extended minutes in his potential absence. His next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Miami if he can't play versus Indiana.

Robert Williams III - Scores season-high 12 pointsWilliams supplied 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Clippers.
ImpactWilliams has appeared in just six games this season and has yet to start, but he seems to be ramping up after clearing the 20-minute mark in three of his last four appearances. He also posted a season-high mark in scoring in this one, and the fact that he's scored in double digits in two consecutive games suggests he's trending in the right direction. However, he won't get a lot of fantasy value unless he finds a way to crack the starting lineup on a regular basis.

Jayson Tatum - Scores 29 with 11 boardsTatum finished Thursday's 116-110 win over the Clippers with 29 points (10-26 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes.
ImpactTatum carried the Celtics to victory in this game despite the fact that he needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but this goes to show just how good he's been this season -- even when his shot is not falling, he still ends up with strong scoring figures. Part of that is directly related to his volume, as he's attempted at least 20 shots in nine straight games, but for the most part, he's been efficient. He's averaging 30.1 points while making 45.2 percent of his field-goal attempts in December and has been a top fantasy performer regardless of format so far.
