Jayson Tatum Stays Quiet In Saturday's Loss
Jayson Tatum logged 26 minutes in Saturday's 113-102 loss to Cleveland, but he stayed very quiet, managing only eight points on 3-for-9 shooting. He also added four rebounds, one assist and one block with two turnovers. Tatum has been pretty disappointing throughout the preseason thus far, as he's scored 10-plus points just once in four outings in addition to his shooting percentage being at a lowly 33.3 percent. The block against Cleveland was only his first of the preseason as well, and he's recorded a total of just two assists, three steals, and 15 rebounds.

Jayson Tatum To Undergo MRI Tuesday
Jayson Tatum is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after suffering an apparent lower leg injury in Monday's Game 4 against the New York Knicks. Tatum dominated the game, scoring 42 points, but he was forced to exit the contest with 2:58 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Celtics superstar suffered a non-contact injury to his right leg and was seen in a wheelchair on his way to the locker room. Unfortunately, it seems that Tatum may face an extended absence. This would give Jaylen Brown the keys to the offense, while the rest of the group would also need to step up.

Jayson Tatum Has Another Rough Shooting Night
Jayson Tatum scored 13 points in Wednesday's 91-90 loss to the Knicks. He added 14 boards, five assists, three steals, and one block. The former Duke Blue Devil had a tough time finding the bottom of the net in Game 1. Unfortunately, that trend continued in Game 2, with Tatum going 5-for-19 from the field and 1-for-5 from behind the three-point line. With the Knicks up 2-0, the series will head back to New York for Game 3 on Saturday afternoon. But on a positive note, Tatum averaged 36 points and 44% shooting from deep at Madison Square Garden during the regular season (two appearances), so there's reason to believe he may turn things around.

Jayson Tatum Fills Stat Sheet On Poor Shooting Night
Jayson Tatum struggled to hit shots in Monday's Game 1 against the New York Knicks, but still had an impressive outing in a 108-105 overtime loss. The Celtics superstar finished the contest with 23 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block. Tatum did most of his scoring during a hot spell in the first quarter when he scored 13 consecutive points for Boston. He was 7-for-23 from the field and 4-for-15 from downtown in the game. It was a poor shooting performance overall for Joe Mazzulla's team, yet they still lost by only three, which says a lot about Boston's quality. Tatum is sure to deliver a much more efficient performance in Wednesday's Game 2.
