By not playing tonight, Jayson Tatum is down to five games left before turning 25.
He’ll have to average 28.2 points/game to pass Giannis for 7th on this list.
He’d now need 39.0 per game to pass Devin Booker for 6th. pic.twitter.com/uPsmUa4bSa – 4:58 PM

No Jayson Tatum tonight for #Celtics #Bucks and plenty of uncertainty across the front court entering a game vs. Giannis. Jae Crowder is out, but working back. Tatum will compete in the 3PT contest.

Is Tatum taller in the NBA?
Allen: “He might be, I have no idea. He was tall when we got to Duke. For me, personally, I played with Brandon Ingram the year before, and then Jayson the following year, and so seeing those guys both come in…” – 1:12 PM

Asked Allen to reflect on Tatum’s growth since Duke: “He’s obviously extremely talented, and now, it’s more than talent, he’s kind of risen above to one of the top levels in the league … last year, leading his team in the playoffs and now what he’s done so far this season…” – 1:03 PM

Jayson Tatum will do the 3PT contest. But why is his and Jaylen Brown’s efficiency from deep down after hot starts to their careers.
