It was a disappointing performance by the Celtics as a whole, particularly on the defensive end, but Tatum still delivered his usual strong numbers. Through 12 games in March, the 25-year-old is averaging 29.8 points, 9.7 boards, 4.7 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.0 steals as Boston tries to catch Milwaukee for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Meyers Leonard (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers. Leonard is slated to miss a sixth straight game. It’s unclear when he’ll be able to suit up again, but his next chance to do so will come Thursday against Boston.
