Jaylen Brown - Fills stat sheet in Thursday's win Brown accumulated 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-11 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 victory over the Maverick...
Impact Brown led the Celtics in scoring in this comfortable win, but he did more than just that, as he also left his mark on the defensive end and grabbed headlines with a posterizing dunk during the second quarter. Brown has been alternating with Jayson Tatum the role of operating as Boston's go-to player on offense, with the Celtics riding whoever has the hottest hand, and that was certainly the case with Brown in this series opener. He's now scored at least 20 points in five straight playoff appearances, representing his longest streak in the current postseason run.

Jayson Tatum - Double-doubles in Game 1 win Tatum finished with 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block across 42 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 win over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the...
Impact Tatum took a step back on offense due to the impressive performances of both Jaylen Brown (22 points) and Kristaps Porzingis (20 points off the bench), but he delivered a strong fantasy line even if his shot wasn't falling as much as he would've liked to. Tatum snapped a streak of eight consecutive outings with at least 20 points, but he should remain Boston's go-to player on offense, as well as a strong candidate for a bounce-back effort, in Game 2 on Sunday.

Kristaps Porzingis - Shines off bench in return Porzingis closed with 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks across 21 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA...
Impact Head coach Joe Mazzulla wanted Porzingis to come off the bench in the first game of the Finals, and the star power forward responded admirably in what was his first taste of competitive action since April 29. It remains to be seen if Porzingis will move to the starting unit for Game 2 on Sunday or if he'll remain on the bench, but one thing is sure. His shooting ability and length on defense could be two deciding factors in the series, and that was certainly the case Thursday.
