The Celtics are going to be without two of their top offensive options for Tuesday’s matchup vs. the Thunder. Tatum has been ruled out due to an ankle injury, while Walker has been ruled out due to a side injury. Their absences will open up a ton of opportunities for the rest of the roster.

Jaylen Brown stands out as one of the biggest beneficiaries. He’s increased his usage rate by +8.3% with Tatum and Walker off the court this season, resulting in an average of 1.24 FanDuel points per minute. Marcus Smart has also increased his usage rate by +5.
