Can Jayson Tatum outplay Dallas Mavericks star wing Luka Doncic for the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals? Tatum has averaged 26 points, 10.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists over 14 games in the 2024 NBA Playoffs so far.

Sherrod Blakely, and John Zannis recently discussed Tatum’s role in the finals on this preview episode of the “Garden Report” podcast.
