The star guard sat out the final two games of the regular season-earning some much needed rest-after he dropped 40 or more points in four straight games. The Cavs have been a force in the Eastern Conference all year, but they’re getting hot at the right time, especially Mitchell. Donovan Mitchell, Guard, Cleveland Cavaliers: 92 OVR (+1) These standout games should give Tatum and the Celtics confidence to start the first round. As the regular season came to a close, the 25-year-old registered 38 points versus the Philadelphia 76ers and 40 points against the Milwaukee Bucks-both considered title favorites in the Eastern Conference. Tatum can score from just about anywhere on the court, but his game is predicated on his jump shot, which makes his field goal percentage even more impressive. 3 overall pick is averaging 46% from the field, but in the last two weeks he’s been highly efficient with a 56% field goal percentage. Jayson Tatum, Forward, Boston Celtics: 95 OVR (+1)Īs the undisputed primary scorer on the Celtics-with respect to Jaylen Brown-Tatum always has the green light to shoot when the ball is in his hands.
The suspense has been building to this point let’s discuss how it happened. While Ingram and the Pels are fighting for a coveted spot in the postseason, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell have positioned their teams toward the top of the standings. The New Orleans Pelicans are in do-or-die mode, sitting on the cusp of elimination if they hope to win two-straight games and secure a spot in the first round, they’ll need forward Brandon Ingram to deliver back-to-back big performances. The stage is set-the NBA Playoffs are here! As it stands currently, seeds 1 through 6 are locked in, with this week’s play-in games set to decide seeds 7 and 8.
