Jayson Tatum - Fully participating in scrimmages Tatum (Achilles) has recently been a "full go in 5-on-5 scrimmages with the Celtics," Shams Charania reported Wednesday on ESPN's "NBA Countdown."

Impact Tatum has seemingly reached the final checkpoint in his recovery from May 12 surgery to repair his right Achilles tendon. At this point, Charania notes that the star forward's main focus will be putting together "a number of practices and scrimmages" to rebuild his conditioning and increase the strength of his calves. Though Tatum has been non-committal about playing this season, all signs point to the 27-year-old suiting up at some point in March once he stacks up more on-court sessions and feels confident in the integrity of his right leg. The 38-20 Celtics have already been able to keep themselves near the top of the Eastern Conference standings amid Tatum's ongoing absence, but the late-season addition of the six-time All-Star would surely boost the club's odds of making a deep playoff run.

Jordan Walsh - Unimpactful again Wednesday Walsh ended with four points (2-2 FG, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 103-84 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Walsh logged 14 minutes in the loss, most of which came during garbage time. While it has been a somewhat encouraging season for Walsh, his role in recent times has been less than ideal. In 12 games over the past month, he has seen just 13.8 minutes per game, putting up 4.2 points and 3.5 rebounds. At this point, he should not be rostered in any moderately competitive league.

Payton Pritchard - Struggles in loss Wednesday Pritchard racked up three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 103-84 loss to Denver.

Impact Pritchard shot under 20 percent from the floor for the second straight game, continuing what has been an up-and-down period over the past month. In 13 games during that time, he has averaged 19.0 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per contest. While his overall numbers have been fine, four of those games have resulted in him scoring no more than eight points.

Nikola Vucevic - Another disappointing effort Vucevic notched two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 103-84 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Vucevic underwhelmed yet again, scoring fewer than 10 points for the fourth straight game. After a promising start to his career in Boston, Vucevic has struggled on both ends of the floor over the past week. In four games during that time, he has averaged just 7.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game. Unlike when he was in Chicago, his below-average defensive abilities are going to limit his opportunities, given that Boston has lofty expectations when compared to those of the Bulls.
