BOSTON -- Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum missed Monday night's 119-94 win against the Detroit Pistons because of a right ankle injury.

It's the fourth time the team's leading scorer was sidelined this season.

Tatum, who is averaging a team-best 27.1 points and 8.3 rebounds a game, joined Jrue Holiday (right shoulder contusion) as the two starters missing for the Celtics (54-14).

Boston, which has the best record in the league, sat three starters in Sunday night's 26-point win at Washington.
