Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics Player Stats Comparison: A Closer Look at the Numbers

Jayson Tatum continues his positive trajectory as the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Phoenix Suns on Monday night at home.

Tatum put up a season-high 32 minutes in the Celtics’ 111-100 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday, breaking a two-game losing streak. This marked his fourth game back from surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon, where he impressively posted 20 points, 14 rebounds, and seven assists.

Reflecting on his progress, Tatum noted, “Compared to the first game, I feel a lot more relaxed.” He highlighted feeling more confident and explosive in each game following his return. Despite not playing in the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder last Thursday, Tatum understands and trusts the plan set for his recovery.

Additionally, center Neemias Queta’s impactful offensive performance against the Wizards cannot be overlooked. Queta scored 24 points on 11-of-13 shooting, with 13 points coming in the first quarter alone – his highest NBA career quarter score. Notably, he grabbed 10 rebounds, added three assists, and made two blocked shots.

Looking ahead, the Celtics will aim to carry this momentum as they face the Phoenix Suns, who are seeking a rebound from their recent 122-115 loss to the Toronto Raptors, ending a four-game winning streak. Jalen Green led the Suns with 34 points, supported by Devin Booker’s 31 points. Despite the loss, the Suns coach Jordan Ott pointed out areas for improvement, particularly in rebounding and late-game execution.
