Boston’s Jayson Tatum seen as fourth-most likely to score 30+ points per game

Can Tatum score 30 points per game with so much star power on his roster?

While a lot of NBA analysts are thinking that pretty much every starter on the Boston Celtics is going to need to sacrifice some of their offensive game for the Celtics to be at their best with so much star power in their six best players, one prominent NBA analyst is zagging to their zig.

Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale recently pegged All-NBA Celtics forward Jayson Tatum as the fourth-most likely player in the league to average 30 or more points per game in 2023-24 despite the general consensus multiple if not all of Boston’s starters might see fewer touches this season.

“Figuring out where to put Jayson Tatum demanded more brainpower than anybody else on this list,” writes Favale.
