Tatum injured his shoulder in Game 3, but quickly returned to action.
For Monday, he remains listed as probable as of 11:30 Eastern Time
NBA's official injury report
The Celtics will need Tatum to play, because they are in serious danger of losing all of the momentum in the series.
The Heat won Game 3 on the road, so they have a 2-1 lead in the series, and a win on Monday would make them take a 3-1 lead back home to Florida for Game 5.
The two teams faced off in the 2020 Conference Finals and the Heat won that series, but they lost to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
This would be the second time in just four seasons that the franchise has made the Finals.
