The Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Boston Celtics for the first time this season.

The Blazers will look to continue their stellar basketball play, but they will face a tough test on Wednesday when they travel to Boston. The Blazers will search for their 29th win of the season, and they may do it without having to face Boston's best player, Jayson Tatum.

Tatum landed on the injury report prior to the game and is listed as questionable due to a right shoulder impingement. The Celtics shared via X.

(2/2):

Payton Pritchard (left hip flexor tightness) - PROBABLE
Jayson Tatum (right shoulder impingement) - QUESTIONABLE
Derrick White (low back contusion) - PROBABLE
