Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Tatum racked up 23 points (9-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 123-103 victory over the Suns.
Tatum had a rough shooting performance from beyond the arc, but that's perhaps the only negative aspect of this performance. The star forward finished just two boards and two dimes away from a triple-double while the Celtics cruised to a 20-point victory. Tatum has been one of the most consistent superstars in the league this season, and while his scoring numbers have regressed a bit of late, it shouldn't be anything that should worry fantasy managers. Tatum is ending the campaign on a strong note, even though the Celtics have already booked a postseason berth. He's averaging 24.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks across 33.9 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

In addition to leading all scorers on the night, Tatum fell a couple dimes short of his third triple-double of the season, instead settling for his 30th double-double -- the second time in his career he's recorded 30 or more. It was an impressive return from a one-game absence due to a nagging ankle injury, and the issue hasn't impacted his production when he's been on the court -- the 27-year-old superstar has scored at least 20 points in nine straight appearances, averaging 29.6 points, 7.9 boards, 6.9 assists, 3.6 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.

While Tatum wasn't made available to speak to the media after the game, he appeared to be in good spirits at his locker and was spotted wearing sneakers on both feet, per Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe, which is typically a good sign following an ankle injury.

Tatum didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly woeful from three-point range, but that won't matter much if he still reaches the 30-point mark.

Tatum has been outstanding all season long and isn't slowing down in recent weeks, as he's averaging 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game since the beginning of March.
