Jayson Tatum will play Thursday vs. Warriors [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Jan. 30, 11:58 a.m. — Tatum will play vs. the Warriors but is expected to have a minutes restriction. So we can roll out Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker as elite GPP plays tonight in a great matchup vs. the Dubs in Boston.

UPDATE: Jan. 29, 3:56 p.m. — Tatum is listed as questionable to play in Thursday’s game vs. the Golden State Warriors. Enes Kanter remains out of the lineup and Javonte Green will be available, it appears.

Boston Celtics SF/PF Jayson Tatum is doubtful to play Tuesday vs. the Miami Heat. Tatum has missed the past two games due to a groin injury, while Jaylen Brown is off the injury report and will play. Enes Kanter will remain out for the Celtics.

Fantasy basketball analysis: Boston Celtics SF/PF Jayson Tatum

The Celtics are coming off another bad loss to the Pelicans on Sunday. Without Kanter and Tatum, Boston ran a very thin rotation, playing Daniel Theis 31 minutes with no bench player seeing over 16 minutes on the court. If this type of rotation stands true on Tuesday, things could be rough again for the Celts.

As for fantasy basketball, Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown will see a ton of minutes in the back court and soak up the majority of usage and offensive touches. Gordon Hayward is the other beneficiary. But other than those three, it’s hard to like anyone else on the Celtics outside of maybe Marcus Smart, who is streaky and in a bad matchup.
