Tobias Harris vs. Jayson Tatum
My last matchup to look forward to comes in the Sixers vs. Celtics series between Tobias Harris and Jayson Tatum. Two guys who can just flat out score, both Harris and Tatum are walking buckets from anywhere on the court, in a series that I think can come down to a possible Game 7.
Although the Sixers will be without Ben Simmons, Tobias’ role doesn’t change too much as he’s always been the top go-to scorer alongside Joel Embiid, while he averaged 19.6 points per game and shot 36.4 percent from 3 on the year.
Tatum has been unbelievable all year, breaking out into one of the league’s top young talents and providing a dynamic duo with first-year Celtic Kemba Walker. Averaging 23.4 points, 7 boards, and shooting 40.3 percent from 3, Tatum has only gotten better as the year has gone on.
These two are going to be so much fun to watch and I really would not doubt if we have multiple 40-plus point performances from each of them throughout this series.
