The Celtics ruled out three starters for their Wednesday night matchup with the Trail Blazers, including Jayson Tatum’s first DNP since Dec. 23.

The Boston Celtics are looking to make it back-to-back wins on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Celtics are coming off an important victory against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, 110-103, and they will want to keep their foot on the gas come Wednesday night.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are listed on the Celtics' injury report ahead of an interesting clash with the Blazers.

Given that Tatum rarely misses games or even shows up on the injury report, this is something Celtics fans will certainly want to keep an eye on. If he is unable to go, the Celtics will likely rely more heavily on Jaylen Brown (assuming he is good to go despite being listed as questionable with an illness).

And they ought to be, despite the hot starts we have seen from the likes of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. One can make a case for the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers in the experience department if one squints hard enough,

The Boston Celtics are looking to build some momentum for the final stretch of the season, but one of their superstars is on the injury report.

After back-to-back losses to the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics picked up a key seven-point win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Now, the Celtics will face a scrappy and surging Portland Trail Blazers team on Wednesday.
