All-Star forward Jayson Tatum is cleared to play for the Boston Celtics against the Memphis Grizzlies. Jaylen Brown and Luke Kornet are questionable. The Grizzlies will miss Brandon Clarke and Zyon Pullin. Tatum, in elite form, is crucial for Celtics, who hold the NBA’s best record. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Boston Celtics received positive news ahead of their Monday night matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, as All-Star forward Jayson Tatum was not listed on the team’s injury report. This comes after Tatum led the Celtics with 29 points in their 121-111 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

While Jayson Tatum is cleared to play, the Celtics will still be monitoring two key players. Jaylen Brown (knee) and Luke Kornet (illness) are both listed as questionable for the game. Brown’s potential absence would be significant, as he and Tatum form the core of Boston’s offense. On the Grizzlies’ side, Brandon Clarke (knee) and Zyon Pullin (knee) have been ruled out, leaving Memphis without two rotation players.

Jayson Tatum’s availability is a major relief for Boston, especially with the playoffs approaching. The 26-year-old has been in elite form this season, averaging 29.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists while shooting 47.5% from the field. His ability to carry the scoring load has been crucial for the Boston Celtics, who hold the NBA’s best record at 55-19.

The Grizzlies (44-30), meanwhile, are coming off a tough 134-127 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and will need a strong defensive effort to contain Jayson Tatum. Memphis has struggled with injuries all season, and facing a fully healthy Celtics squad—barring any last-minute setbacks—will be a tall task.

Tonight’s game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET at FedExForum and will be broadcast on TNT, MAX, and NBCS-BOS. Streaming options include Fubo and Max, though regional blackouts may apply. Boston enters as 5.5-point favorites, with the over/under set at 236.5.

With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the Boston Celtics are focused on maintaining their momentum while keeping their stars healthy. Jayson Tatum’s durability has been a bright spot—he has missed only four games all year—and his presence on the floor gives Boston its best chance to secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Fans hoping to catch the action can tune in to see if Tatum continues his dominant season or if the shorthanded Grizzlies can pull off an upset at home. Either way, his status being clear is the biggest takeaway for Celtics supporters.
