Boston Celtics wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have held their places in the NBA’s All-Star fan voting for the Eastern Conference. Tatum held firm as the No. 4 frontcourt player and Brown as the No. 10 backcourt player in Thursday’s update. Tatum is currently sitting at just over 1.58 million votes and Brown has over 330,000 to this point.
Tatum and Brown have been the focal points of the Celtics this season, with the two combining to average 49.3 points per game. The two of them alone account for nearly 40% of the team’s total scoring, despite missing a combined 18 of a possible 92 games thus far.
Since the last update, Tatum has added around 430,000 votes and Brown has picked up about 113,000. They are the only two Celtics currently in the two positional top-10’s in the East and both are well-deserving of another selection to the league’s All-Star team.
