So far, he has played 25 minutes and has 19 points, six rebounds, four assists and one steal.

He is also shooting 46.8% from the field and 35.1% from the three-point range.

Last season, Tatum led the Celtics to the NBA Finals, and this season they have picked up right where they left off.
The Celtics came into the matchup with the Magic as the best team in the NBA, with a 35-12 record in 47 games.
They are also in the middle of a nine-game winning streak and 17-7 in the 24 games they have played on the road.
Earlier this season, the Magic beat the Celtics two times in a row (in Boston).
