What happened: Boston Celtics starters Jayson Tatum, Paul George and Mitchell Robinson carry no injury designation for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after playing in Monday's 134-99 win over the Chicago Bulls. Derrick White is listed as probable with right hip synovitis, while Devin Carter remains out due to illness.

Why it matters: Robinson rarely played both halves of back-to-back sets with the New York Knicks, while George dealt with knee issues during his stint with the Philadelphia 76ers and Tatum returned from an Achilles tear. Full availability lets Tatum and George continue building continuity alongside Robinson, White and Jordan Walsh in a starting five that has opened the regular season 2-1.

By the numbers: Tatum recorded 23 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in Monday's 134-99 victory over the 1-3 Bulls. Boston enters Tuesday's matchup at 2-1 following an opening loss to the Detroit Pistons and consecutive wins over the Knicks and Bulls, while Brooklyn stands at 0-3.

What to watch: Boston hosts the winless Nets on Tuesday night with its starting frontcourt intact for both legs of the back-to-back set. White's final game status will be confirmed prior to tipoff.
