Your Morning Dump... Where Jayson Tatum is the eastern conference player of the week

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

Jayson Tatum’s dominant performance not only helped the Celtics earn three victories in four games this week but earned him the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors

Tatum averaged 31.5 points (on 48.8% shooting and 38.9% from 3-point range) and 8.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the four games. It was his second weekly award this year.

After losing to Philadelphia Tuesday, the Celtics won three straight games over the New York Knicks, the Timberwolves and Nuggets.
