Is Top-Five Tatum Back?

Jayson Tatum followed up a monster performance against Milwaukee, with a similarly impressive game against Utah. Is there enough time for him to re-emerge as a league MVP candidate?

There’s not a ton of value in playing the “what if…” game if you are the Boston Celtics and Jayson Tatum. 

The win at Milwaukee on Thursday night was one of the team’s more complete performances this season, led by Tatum’s impactful, efficient scoring. 

And to follow that up with a strong performance in beating Utah less than 24 hours later, gives promise that maybe just maybe, the Celtics have regained that start-of-the-season swagger that made them a popular favorite to win it all this season.
