Both Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic are putting together MVP-worthy seasons.
Coming off of his first trip to the NBA Finals, Tatum has the Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference standings nearing the halfway point of the season. He continues to establish himself as one of the best two-way players in the NBA, posting averages of 30.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
The Mavericks have had their ups and downs to start the season, but Doncic has been nothing short of spectacular. He's leading the league with 34.3 points per game while still averaging a near triple-double, and he's been on fire lately.
Doncic has scored 50 points in three of his last six games. That includes a 60-20-10 triple-double, the first of such in NBA history.
On Thursday, the two superstars go head-to-head for the second and final time this season. Here is everything you need to know about Celtics vs. Mavericks, including TV and streaming options for the game.
