Tatum finished with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to Minnesota.
Tatum struggled with his shot, but his lack of efficiency and rust can be attributed to not making his season debut until March 6 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He has settled as the No. 2 scoring option behind Jaylen Brown, but Tatum remains a productive player. The star forward should be a key contributor, even if he's not at 100 percent of his powers, because he can be a strong scoring force without being the No. 1 option on offense and is racking up rebounds at a high rate.
