The Celtics say Jaylen Brown is questionable for tonight’s game with neck soreness, and Al Horford will once again sit out the second half of a back-to-back as he has all year.
Jayson Tatum, who didn’t play yesterday with a sprained ankle, isn’t listed on the injury report. – 12:58 PM

Per the Celtics, Jaylen Brown is questionable with neck stiffness. He looked a little uncomfortable at times yesterday.
Al Horford is out with back stiffness. Jayson Tatum is not listed, so looks like he’s back. – 12:57 PM

Jayson Tatum gets a day off and the Celtics still put up 130 points. Plus, Jaylen Brown on how he and Marcus Smart turned off-court headlocks into on-court chemistry.

Some players look thrilled to be on the sideline showing off their outfits and chilling. Jayson Tatum looked uncomfortable being in the building & not on the floor. But the #Celtics got him some much-needed rest and still won easily: clnsmedia.com/celtics-succes… – 1:24 AM

The Celtics got an absurd 1.383 points per possession in their win Sunday (and did it without Jayson Tatum).
And while these numbers don’t feel sustainable, the Celtics through 20 games are simply lapping the all-time NBA field as the best offense in the history of ever. pic.twitter.com/FCagIIf9Ui – 10:49 PM

The Wizards entered the day 8th in the East and the Celtics 1st, a potential playoff series. But Boston proved an especially tough matchup once again, this time without Jayson Tatum.

I kind of wonder if Jaylen Brown gets a day off tomorrow on the back-to-back against Charlotte. Would make sense, especially if Jayson Tatum can play tomorrow. – 8:34 PM

Celtics get outscored 33-17 in the 4th quarter.
Wizards come to Boston, shoot 54% with 23 assists and 4 turnovers against the Tatum-less Celtics.
And it still wasn’t close.
Celtics have won 12 of 13, 8 straight at home.
Boston hits the quarter-pole 16-4, best in the NBA. – 8:23 PM

I figured the Celtics would still move and score the ball without Jayson Tatum. I was a little worried about who would get on the boards.
Grant Williams with seven first half rebounds is good stuff. His career-high of 10 rebounds is definitely in play tonight. – 7:06 PM

Very curious to see who gets Jayson Tatum’s minutes tonight. There aren’t all that many more for the other guys, so I’m guessing both Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet see some time tonight. – 6:08 PM

At TD Garden, where Boston will be without Jayson Tatum against Washington. That usually means a big night for Jaylen Brown. Brown last season in games Tatum missed: 30.4 points, ten rebounds, 4.4 assists. – 5:45 PM

Doesn’t seem like Joe Mazzulla is going to change Jaylen Brown’s substitution pattern with Tatum out, noting he’s comfortable in it and the team has depth to handle things with Brogdon & bench – 4:20 PM

Jay King: Marcus Smart on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum: “I was joking with Jaylen. We have – in the Old Western, when you’re in a shootout, you’ve got a gun on this one. And I told him we also have another one with you over here. So we’ve got two sharpshooters that can do some damage.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / November 24, 2022
Bobby Manning: Jayson Tatum on biggest difference offensively: “A lot of randomness. Not a lot of playcalling, but trust. Just trusting that each guy’s going to make the right read …” If you make the right play, you’re going to get it back, he says, which was a struggle early last year. -via Twitter @RealBobManning / November 24, 2022
