Jayson Tatum's Injury Status vs. Warriors Revealed /

In this story:

The Boston Celtics are facing the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, and star forward Jayson Tatum will be available. Both teams are missing key pieces, with Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis being ruled out, but the superstar battle of Tatum and Steph Curry should be really fun to watch.

The Warriors and the Celtics have had so many good battles over the years, with their 2022 NBA Finals match up being one of the best in recent history. Curry and the Warriors of course got the better of Tatum and the Celtics in that series, but it has been Boston that has looked like the better team since.

Golden State still has their championship DNA that they hope will show itself at some point soon, and the Celtics are hoping to establish that culture as they pursue a title with this group. The best team in basketball so far this season, Boston looks like an absolute force after coming up short in last year's Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat.

While the Warriors have not looked like a contender for any extended stretch of games this season, they always get up for these games against Boston, and should give fans a fun show in this one. The Warriors and Celtics will begin at 7:00 PM PST in Golden State.
