Boston Celtics vs. Washington Wizards: Injuries and likely starting lineups

The Boston Celtics host the Washington Wizards in the last tilt of a long home stand, and look to do so with a mostly healthy roster from top to bottom, with one key exception.

The Celtics may find themselves without the services of their best player in star forward Jayson Tatum, who is listed as questionable due to a non-covid illness for the game against the Wizards. On the other side of the court in terms of health, Wizards big man Marvin Bagley III is out with a lower back contusion, Patrick Baldwin, Jr. is out with a sprained right ankle, Isaiah Livers is out with right hip inflammation, and big man Richaun Holmes is out with a trade pending.

Interestingly, and in a way which may presage how Boston thinks the game may go, all three of Boston’s two way players are listed as available.
