UPDATE (Mar. 26):
Keith Smith of Spotrac.com says that Tatum’s status for Sunday’s game against the Spurs is in doubt due to a left hip contusion.

If this were to happen, Jaylen Brown would run the show offensively, giving Sam Hauser, Grant Williams, and Derrick White more playing time.

In his last two games, he’s only averaged 22.0 points and shot 31.6 percent from the field. If he didn’t play, Sam Hauser and Grant Williams would have to do more, and Jaylen Brown would have to do more offensive work.
