Jayson Tatum Enters COVID-19 Protocols
3 years agoBoston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This marks eight players on the Celtics roster who won't be available for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It sounds like Tatum won't be eligible to return until January 5, so fantasy managers should be able to move him into an IR spot. In the meantime, Jaylen Brown will be asked to carry the offense and see a spike in usage. Marcus Smart (hand) is questionable for Monday's game, but would see increased usage as well. Payton Pritchard, Romeo Langford, and Joe Johnson would see bigger roles with the Celtics shorthanded right now.
