Jayson Tatum's Status Uncertain for Celtics vs. Raptors
12 Nov
Summary
- Jayson Tatum's availability for Wednesday's game is uncertain due to Achilles injury recovery.
- The Celtics are road favorites against the Raptors, signaling Tatum might play.
- Tatum is a strong prop bet for over 2.5 three-pointers made.
The injury status of Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is uncertain for Wednesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Tatum has participated in 10 of the Celtics' 11 games this season, including all four games played on back-to-back nights. However, his recovery from an Achilles injury means his availability is still to be determined, pending the team's official injury report.
Tatum recently sat out a game against the Milwaukee Bucks and has had his minutes limited in his last three appearances, playing 32 or fewer minutes. The Celtics are listed as 7.5-point road favorites in Toronto, a line that suggests Tatum might play in the second night of a back-to-back for the third time this season.
If Tatum is cleared to play, he faces a favorable matchup against a Raptors team missing key players Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard. The Celtics, holding the best record in the Eastern Conference at 9-2, have seen Tatum play in eight of their wins. He is also highlighted as a strong prop bet for over 2.5 three-pointers made, given his recent shooting performance and the Raptors' defensive statistics against the three-point shot.
