Jayson Tatum - Iffy for Christmas Day Tatum (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Tatum was a late scratch Monday due to a non-COVID illness and is at risk of missing Boston's matchup against Philadelphia. Al Horford drew the start Monday and played 35 minutes while Luke Kornet saw an uptick in minutes off the bench. Both players would see expanded roles again Wednesday if Tatum can't play.

2024-25 NBA odds: Knicks, Celtics parlay; Christmas Day best bets
Payton Pritchard - Quiet in loss Pritchard finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Magic.
Impact Pritchard was held to single-digit points for the second game in a row. His production can be sporadic when the Celtics are healthy, but he's had a strong December overall. Over his last 10 games, Pritchard is averaging 15.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 3.8 three-pointers.
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Hauser - Receives light minutes in return Hauser (back) played 16 minutes off the bench and finished with two rebounds, two assists and two steals in Monday's 108-104 loss to the Magic.
Impact Even though Jayson Tatum (illness) was a late scratch from Monday's contest, Hauser was unable to carve out a significant role off the bench as he made his return from a two-game absence due to low back spasms. Rather than opening up more playing time on the second unit for Hauser and sixth man Payton Pritchard, the Celtics leaned heavily on their starters and also expanded the role of Luke Kornet, who logged 20 minutes. Hauser looks like he might need the Celtics to be without at least two starters in order to see enough playing time to make him a useful streaming option for three-pointers in a given game.

Jaylen Brown drops 35, but Celtics fall to competitive, short-handed Magic: 9 takeaways Jaylen Brown's onslaught wasn't enough to give Boston a win over Orlando with Jayson Tatum out of the lineup.
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • BOSTON.COM
Jaylen Brown - Dominates with 35-point performance Brown provided 35 points (15-29 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Magic.
Impact Brown stepped up in the absence of Jayson Tatum (illness) in Monday's contest, leading all Celtics in scoring and rebounds while posting team-high-tying marks in assists and steals in an all-around showcase. Brown posted his second game of the season with 35 or more points, falling two points short of his season-high 37 points tallied Nov. 12.
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Derrick White - Leads from deep in two-way outing White racked up 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to Orlando.
Impact White did a little bit of everything for Boston in Monday's defeat, leading all Celtics in three made while securing team-high-tying marks in assists and steals in a well-rounded performance. White tied a season high in steals, a total he has recorded in two other contests. White has tallied 15 or more points in four of his last five outings.
DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Al Horford - Nears double figures in start Horford recorded eight points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Magic.
Impact Horford got the starting nod Monday with Jayson Tatum (illness) inactive, contributing both on the glass and offensively while finishing two points shy of the double-digit mark. Horford has started in 19 games this season, securing at least five points and five rebounds in 10 of those outings. Expect Horford to return to the bench when Tatum is able to return to the starting five.
