Preview

How quickly things can change. Looking at this game on the schedule back in early October, one could have easily made the assumption that the biggest storyline would be Jayson Tatum vs Markelle Fultz, a battle of elite rookies who were traded for each other. Well, six weeks into the season, and Tatum looks like a 10-year vet, averaging 13.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest, while Fultz has played four ineffective games as he battles a shoulder injury.

Still, while Fultz hasn’t made the impact most were expecting, there’s still a rookie vs. rookie matchup worth headlines in this one. While Tatum’s numbers thus far would have him as the front-runner for Rookie of the Year most seasons, 21-year-old Ben Simmons has been truly ridiculous, putting up 18.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.1 assists a game. No matter who ultimately wins the end-of-the-season award, it’s clear these two are part of the present and future of the NBA.

Unfortunately, another member of that club, Joel Embiid, won’t play in this one as the team continues to hold him out of back-to-backs.

“That’s not my decision that I’m not cleared yet, but I hope the guys get a win tomorrow,” Embiid said.

The rested Celtics, who are off to an NBA best 18-4 start this year, are favored by nine points, but this should still nevertheless be a good one between two legitimate East contenders.
