Tatum missed the Celtics' morning shootaround, which was already a bad sign for his availability for Monday's game.

The last time Tatum was on the court, he was incredible for the C's. On Saturday against the New York Knicks, he recorded 40 points on 13-for-26 shooting from the field, six rebounds, and four assists in 37 minutes.

Tatum posted a game-high 40 points in the blowout win, reaching the 40-plus-point mark for the second time this season.

The superstar forward also delivered an efficient performance from beyond the arc, sinking five or more three-pointers for the 14th time in 50 regular-season appearances.

Tatum has seen a slight decline in efficiency of late but continues to stuff the stat sheet.

Over his last 10 outings, he has averaged 24.0 points, 6.4 assists, and 6.0 rebounds while shooting 42.8 percent from the field across 36.5 minutes per game.

Overall, Tatum has been stellar all season, averaging 26.8 points per game, 8.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from three in 36.3 minutes of action.

The Celtics are 27-9 in Eastern Conference play. Boston is the NBA leader, averaging 17.8 made 3-pointers per game while shooting 36.9 percent from deep. Tatum leads the team, averaging 3.6 makes while shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range.
