Tatum tallied 21 points (6-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block across 29 minutes in Sunday's 117-97 win over the Bucks.
Tatum overcame inefficient overall shooting by connecting on five three-pointers and contributing six assists. He scored 16 points in the opening quarter, helping Boston recover from an early 14-point deficit, but he was pretty much a non-factor the rest of the way. His relatively modest workload reflected the comfortable victory, while his continued involvement as a scorer and facilitator supports his elite fantasy outlook. The 21-point output was a down performance given his season-long numbers, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact for one inefficient outing in which he still attempted 19 shots.

Tatum racked up 32 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-17 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-97 victory over the Magic.
Tatum went back to the locker room after bumping heads with Jamal Cain in the first quarter, but the Celtics' superstar was able to return and recorded his third 30-plus point outing of the season. Tatum made another massive impact from the charity stripe, attempting 17 or more free throws for the second time in 2026-27, and has now dished out at least six assists in every contest. His struggles from beyond the arc continued, however, but he'll continue providing contributions across the board as the unquestioned leader in Boston.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Heads to locker room Sunday
Rotowire
Tatum (head) exited Sunday's game against the Magic, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.
Tatum bumped heads with Jamal Cain late in the first quarter and exited for further medical treatment. For now, he should be considered questionable to return. If Tatum can't get back on the floor Sunday, Sam Hauser could see more minutes the rest of the way.

After draining a shot as time expired to lead Boston to the 125-124 overtime win over Brooklyn on Tuesday, Tatum had another strong performance to help the Celtics secure their fourth consecutive victory of the season. The 28-year-old is now averaging 27.6 points (the second-highest mark of his career), 6.4 rebounds and 7.8 assists in five regular-season games in 2026-27. Tatum hasn't shot well from deep, though he's still performing at an All-Star level. That's not expected to change anytime soon.
Tatum finished with 40 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 18-22 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one block across 42 minutes in Tuesday's 125-124 overtime win over Brooklyn.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Tatum closed with 13 points (6-23 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 loss to the Pistons.
Tatum simply couldn't get anything going from the floor, en route to just 13 points, including 0-of-7 from the perimeter. If we're being honest, this could be one of his worst shooting performances of the season, a reassuring fact for fantasy managers. With that said, Tatum certainly had his fingerprints all over the game, handing out a game-high 11 assists. It appeared as though his playmaking was by design, an interesting wrinkle, should it be an ongoing theme.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Rotowire
Tatum (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's opener against the Pistons.
Tatum didn't play in the 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers on Friday. However, since he sat out that contest to rest, he is in line to play Tuesday in Detroit. The six-time All-Star appeared in 16 regular-season games in 2025-26 after working his way back from an Achilles injury, averaging 21.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals across 32.6 minutes per contest. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, Tatum is the undisputed top offensive option for the Celtics, and assuming he stays healthy, he should be considered an MVP candidate entering the 2026-27 campaign.

The 76ers rested several key players, including Joel Embiid and LeBron James, so Tatum took advantage of favorable matchups to rank second on the Celtics in scoring behind Payton Pritchard, who exploded for 25 points off the bench.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Clean bill of health
Rotowire
Zack Cox of the Boston Herald believes Tatum (knee) should be close to 100 percent this season.
Tatum is healthy ahead of training camp, and the hope is that he'll be able to revert back to form before his 2025 Achilles injury. The superstar forward is Boston's definitive top scoring option, now that Jaylen Brown is with the 76ers, and Tatum will be looking for improved efficiency after shooting a career-low 41.1 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from deep last regular season.
