Struggles from field in win Tatum produced 22 points (4-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 104-102 victory over Minnesota. Impact Tatum posted a double-double and contributed in the two defensive categories, but there's no question the ample trips to the charity stripe salvaged what was otherwise a poor showing on the offensive end. He's now gone a combined 12-for-38 from the field over his last two contests, but that shouldn't be any major cause for concern for fantasy managers. After all, Tatum is shooting 45.9 percent from the field for the season and has made 45.5 percent of his attempts since the start of March, even when factoring in those two subpar efforts. The Celtics star should be able to bounce back sooner than later, with a matchup with Portland on Friday representing his first opportunity to turn the tide.
