A look at Boston with and without Jayson Tatum

Jayson Tatum has been out since January 8th against his pal Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards, after which he tested positive for COVID 19, the second Celtics player to do so after Rob Williams. Luckily Boston had it's next three games postponed, otherwise Tatum may have missed eight games instead of five. Tatum will once again be sidelined today (his fifth straight) as he continues to ramp up conditioning to be ready for his return, possibly tomorrow night against the Chicago Bulls. During that stretch of games, Boston went 1-3 dropping two games to Philly and an embarrassing loss to the New York Knickerbockers.
