Tatum, who’s expected to earn his fourth consecutive first-team All-NBA selection, leads the Celtics in points, rebounds and assists this season. His 6.0 assists per game would be the best mark of his career by a wide margin, and he’s on pace for his second-best scoring (27.1 points per game) and rebounding averages (8.7 per game).

With the playoffs approaching, the Celtics are hitting their stride. Monday night’s 113-95 win over the Sacramento Kings pushed them to 21-4 in their last 25 games, with 14 of those victories coming by double digits.
