• Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Makes history in huge game

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Tatum finished Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls with 43 points (16-24 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and 10 assists across 36 minutes. Per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Tatum became the first player in the storied history of the Celtics to produce a 40-point, 15-board, 10-assist line. The triple-double was his first of the season and the third of his career, continuing a hot streak that has seen Tatum deliver at least a double-double in six straight appearances even though he's been tending to knee tendinitis during that time. Over that stretch, the 26-year-old MVP candidate has averaged 28.5 points, 12.0 boards, 5.7 assists and 3.8 threes.

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Tatum registered 31 points (10-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls. Tatum's team-high 31 points were not enough as the Celtics fell in Thursday's upset loss, but it was his 13th game with 30 points already this season. Over his last 13 games, Tatum is averaging a robust 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 26-year-old superstar forward will get another favorable matchup in Saturday's meeting with these same Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.4).

• Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Double-double in Sunday return

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Tatum contributed 28 points (12-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards. The 26-year-old forward missed the Celtics' prior game and two of the previous four while dealing with a sore right knee. However, Tatum looked pretty healthy Sunday as he delivered his 12th double-double of the season, including four straight and five in his last six appearances. If there's evidence that Tatum is not at 100 percent right now, it's coming at the defensive end of the court, as he's gone three straight games without recording either a steal or a block -- an uncharacteristic dry spell for a player who's averaged at least 1.0 steals a game every season of his career.

Tatum missed the 123-99 win over the Pistons on Thursday due to right patella tendinopathy, but the star forward will be available to return Sunday and should handle his regular workload. Tatum has been one of the most productive forwards in fantasy and should take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Wizards. He's averaging 25.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
