What happened: Jayson Tatum drove down the lane for a slam that put him at 18 points and counting in a game on NBC and Peacock.
Why it matters: Tatum said in August that a long offseason would get him back to '110%', and his scoring has tracked above 27 a night since the season began.
By the numbers: Tatum is averaging 27.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in 2026-27 through 9 games.
What to watch: His final point total from the NBC and Peacock game is the number to check.
