The good news for the Celtics is that Jayson Tatum was removed from the injury report entirely after being questionable on Tuesday night with a sore ankle. He appeared to tweak the injury in the closing minutes of Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks in NBA Cup action but said after the game he was fine.

The Brooklyn Nets look to continue silencing the preseason doubters in their final action before NBA Cup play in a rematch with the reigning champion Boston Celtics. Brooklyn fell to Boston in overtime in Friday's road contest but has the opportunity to defend the loss at home in the second of four meetings this season.

With a game in the books against the Nets already, we expect the Celtics to take Brooklyn a bit more seriously from the tip.
