Tatum's availability sets up a thrilling showdown with Mavericks star Luka Doncic. Both players are NBA MVP frontrunners in the early part of the 2022-23 season.
Doncic and the Mavericks have gotten the better of Tatum and the C's in recent matchups. Dallas owns a four-game win streak against Boston with two of those victories coming on Doncic buzzer-beaters.
The Celtics will look to put an end to that streak after having their nine-game win streak snapped by the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
