Just misses triple-double Friday
Tatum supplied 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 133-101 win over the Bucks.
Analysis
The 28-year-old forward fell one dime short of his second straight triple-double. Tatum is still being held out for one half of back-to-backs, but when he's on the court he's showing little sign of the Achilles tear that delayed the start of his 2025-26 campaign until early March. Over his last 10 games, Tatum is averaging 21.9 points, 10.9 boards, 5.5 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.4 steals.

Triple-doubles in win
Tatum tallied 25 points (9-21 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 147-129 win over the Heat.
Analysis
Tatum didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance but still stuffed the stat sheet in this high-scoring affair. The star forward finished as Boston's second-leading scorer behind Jaylen Brown (43 points), marking the former's third consecutive contest scoring at least 25 points. Tatum also posted game- and season-high marks in both rebounds and assists en route to his first triple-double of the season, and he also led Boston in steals.

Available for Wednesday
Tatum (Achilles) is available for Wednesday against Miami, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
As expected, Tatum has the green light to return after getting a maintenance day against the Hawks on Monday. He's averaging 25.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over his last three outings.

Sitting out Monday
Tatum (Achilles) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
After finishing Sunday's 114-99 victory over the Hornets with 32 points (12-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block over 31 minutes, Tatum will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. His absence is fully expected, given that he's under 11 months removed from tearing his right Achilles tendon. With Tatum sitting out, the Celtics should have more minutes available on the wing and at forward for Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and Jordan Walsh.

Nets 32 points with eight assists
Tatum finished Sunday's 114-99 victory over the Hornets with 32 points (12-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block over 31 minutes.
Analysis
Tatum had shot just 32.8 percent from the field over his previous four appearances, but he broke out in a big way Sunday, notching a new season high in points. His eight assists also marked a season high, and he finished with a team-best plus-15 differential in the 15-point win. The Celtics have now won three straight and will look to carry that momentum into Monday's matchup with the Hawks.

Available versus Charlotte
Tatum (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against Charlotte, according to Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site.
Analysis
Tatum popped up on the injury report due to Achilles management purposes, and considering the Celtics play again Monday in Atlanta, it's possible he sits out that contest. The 28-year-old was highly productive in Friday's 109-102 win over the Hawks, finishing with a 26-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included five assists.
