Jayson Tatum

Boston was already shorthanded on Wednesday and will have even fewer options available against Philadelphia. Tatum and White are the only two typical starters available. Peterson will make his first start of the season, but Payton Pritchard will likely fill out more minutes after scoring 43 points on Wednesday.

Tatum sat out Wednesday, and Hauser replaced him in the starting five. Hauser will head to the bench as Tatum returns, and the latter should handle his typical workload for the second night of Boston's back-to-back set.

Tatum (shoulder) has been cleared to play Thursday against the 76ers, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

While Brown played in Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers, Holiday has missed Boston's last three games. Thursday makes four straight on the sideline for Holiday, and his absence boosts the values of Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, who combined to score 84 points on Wednesday. As for Brown, Jayson Tatum is questionable after not playing against Portland. He would undoubtedly help account for JB's absence, and Jordan Walsh should again play rotation minutes off the bench.

Tatum was held out of Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers, with Sam Hauser replacing him in the starting lineup. However, Hauser is also questionable for Thursday night. If both can play, Hauser will likely remain a starter because Jaylen Brown (knee) is unavailable. Payton Pritchard logged heavy minutes due to the absences, and Jordan Walsh was also part of the rotation off the bench.
