The Boston Celtics are at full health for their non-conference matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Keith Smith tweeted that both players were upgraded to probable after dealing with knee injuries leading up to Sunday’s contest.
This season, Tatum and Brown have been two of Boston’s best players, ranking one-two in scoring.
Analytically, Tatum stands above the rest, leading the team in Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) while ranking second in Win Shares and Box Plus/Minus (BPM). Brown has been nearly as impressive, ranking fourth in VORP and fifth in BPM.
With both starters available, Derrick White and Grant Williams will assume their usual roles as depth options.
