ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 The Boston Celtics<\/a> are swapping one key player for another in their Monday night contest against the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, as Jayson Tatum<\/a> heads back to the bench and Jaylen Brown<\/a> returns to the lineup following a two-game absence. <\/p>\n

Tatum, who ruptured his Achilles in May, made his season debut on March 6 against the Mavericks<\/a> and has played in 11 games since. The six-time NBA<\/a> All-Star comes off his best performance of the season against Charlotte on Sunday night, dropping 32 points and adding eight assists, five rebounds and a block. Tatum was named the East’s NBA player of the week on Monday. <\/p>\n

Boston ruled Tatum out with injury management.<\/p>\n

Brown missed the past two games with Achilles tendinitis, including Boston’s Friday night game against Atlanta, when the Celtics handed the Hawks just their second loss since Feb 20 with a 109-102 defeat.<\/p>\n

Brown will start alongside Jordan Walsh<\/a>, Luka Garza<\/a>, Baylor Scheierman<\/a> and Derrick White<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dyson Daniels<\/a>, Onyeka Okongwu<\/a> and Jonathan Kuminga<\/a> return for the Hawks after missing Saturday’s win against Sacramento. Jock Landale<\/a> was ruled out with an illness. <\/p>\n
