The Boston Celtics currently hold a 7-2 record, which can be largely credited to Jayson Tatum, who, besides playing well himself, is also involving his teammates in the game.

According to the updated injury report of the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum is good to go and will feature in the next game as well.

The Boston Celtics are currently second in the NBA Eastern Conference right behind the Philadelphia 76ers. In the off-season, the Celtics made two big additions to their rotations by getting Latvian big man Kristaps Porzingis and defensive guard Jrue Holiday.
The two players add depth to the already talented team that made the NBA Eastern Conference Semi-Finals last season and Tatum appreciates the balance of the team.
“We’ve got a really, really good team, and I understand that we’ve got five guys that can average double-figures. So, each night it’ll look a little bit different and that’s alright," said Tatum.
Unselfishness has been the key for the Celtics according to Tatum and he mentioned how each player gives way to the other, depending on the balance.
“Some nights, other guys might really have it going and we’ve just got to find the balance, it might not be your night offensively tonight, but what else can you do to impact the game?" said Tatum. "I just try to make good things happen when I’m on the floor and try to impact winning.”
After their matchup with the Knicks, the Boston Celtics will go on a four-game road trip. They will take on the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies and Charlotte Hornets between November 15-20
