Boston Celtics: 3 bold predictions for C’s upcoming play-in tournament
By Mark Nilon
Boston Celtics prediction No. 2) Tatum, Walker, and Fournier will all score 20+
As we said in the previous slide, the Boston Celtics will be without their second All-Star wing, Jaylen Brown, for the remainder of the year.
Though this certainly is a major blow that will have many ramifications, luckily for the Boston Celtics they still find themselves rolling out a lineup consisting of a few players in Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, and Evan Fournier who can somewhat make up for the negative impact on offense that will be felt with a Brown-less rotation, for all three can seemingly drop 20+ on any given night.
With this, it presents us with our second bold prediction of the night: all three will be putting up 20 or more points during this upcoming tournament.
Not only does this need to happen for the Cs to just have a chance of winning a game moving forward, but based on each of their recent levels of production, it simply seems inevitable.
Over each of their last seven games, the aforementioned trio has been phenomenal in the scoring department, with Fournier averaging 19.9 a night, Tatum with 26.6, and Kemba with a whopping 28.1.
Should all of them be healthy come Tuesday’s matchup, expect more of the same from these three ballers.
