Fantasy Impact:
It remains unclear when Tatum will be able to return to the court, but it is possible that it could be in the back-end of the double header against the 76ers on Friday or on Sunday at home against Cleveland. Semi Ojeleye should continue to see a good amount of minutes on the court in the absence of Tatum, though he has seen 20-plus minutes of playing time in five-of-the-last-six games so he was seeing decent playing time even with Tatum on the court. After posting a season-high 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field in Friday's win against the Magic, Ojeleye failed to hit a shot in Sunday's blowout loss against the Knicks on Sunday and will look to bounce back on Wednesday. Grant Williams could also continue to see extended playing time in the absence of Tatum.
