Xam’s Daily Gem:
Jayson Tatum Over 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Tatum has been on an absolute tear recently. In his last 10 games, he’s averaging just under 27 points, just under 9 rebounds, and almost 4.5 assists per game. He’s been even better against the Knicks this year. In 2 games, he’s averaging a whopping 34.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. He’s been efficient against the Knicks as well, shooting 40% from 3 and almost 58% on field goals overall. When he’s on his game, there’s few things opposing teams can do to stop him. The Celtics and Tatum are coming into this game well rested. Due to the In-Season Tournament, the Celtics haven’t played since December 4th. His proficiency to score as well as his underrated rebounding ability give him plenty of ways to accrue stats. The Celtics are currently the #1 seed in the East, so every game is important. Tatum will surely look to put on a show in front of the home crowd at TD Garden.
