Tatum (wrist) has been upgraded to available for Game 3 against the Magic on Friday, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatum was upgraded to questionable earlier Friday, and in the end, the star forward will give it a go after missing Game 2 of the series. Even if he's not 100 percent healthy, Tatum should be the Celtics' go-to option on offense. He averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game across 72 regular-season appearances.

Tatum is in danger of missing a second straight game for the Celtics with the superstar forward nursing a right wrist injury.

Sam Hauser will also likely get more time on the floor in Orlando.

Tatum (wrist) is doubtful for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals Wednesday against the Magic, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatum took a fall in Sunday's Game 1 win over Orlando, which has rendered him day-to-day with a right wrist injury. It appears likely that he'll need to sit out at least one game due to the issue. If the superstar forward is ultimately ruled out as expected, his next chance to return to the floor would come Friday for Game 3 when the series shifts to Orlando. The Celtics are set to lean on Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis as their top scoring options Wednesday, and either Sam Hauser or Al Horford is in line to jump into Boston's starting lineup.

EDGE Analysis
Tatum's nasty fall during Boston's Game 1 win against Orlando has led to the team monitoring his right wrist issue, which is reportedly a bone bruise he'll try to play through, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. In 40 minutes in the series opener, the superstar forward finished with 17 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Tatum logged 17 points (8-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-4 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 103-86 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Tatum recorded another double-double, helping the Celtics to a relatively comfortable Game 1 victory. Despite struggling on the offensive end, Tatum managed to chip in across the board, something he has been able to do with more consistency this season. The teams will meet again in Game 2 on Wednesday, with Boston looking to take a stranglehold on the series.

X-rays on Tatum's right wrist came back clean Sunday, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tatum took a hard fall late in Sunday's Game 1 against the Magic and appeared to hurt his right wrist. He was able to stay in the game following the fall, but he went to the locker room before the final buzzer when both teams elected to empty their benches with the game all but decided. Tatum indicated postgame that he had X-rays done on his wrist and that those came back clean. He and head coach Joe Mazzulla have stated that his wrist is not much of a concern, so his status for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup at TD Garden doesn't seem to be in jeopardy.
