Boston is battling for playoff seeding in the tight Eastern Conference. The Celtics are 48-30 and sitting in the No. 3 spot in the East. They're a half-game behind the second-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and two games back of the top-seeded Miami Heat.

Boston is coming off a 128-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers, which broke a two-game losing streak. Tatum teamed up with Jaylen Brown to dominate the Pacers, with Tatum going for 31 points and Brown leading the way with 32.

Tatum has been on a tear since the All-Star break. The Celtics star averaged 32.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 53.8% from the field and 44.7% from 3-point land in March. Boston went 11-2 in the games Tatum played in March.

The Celtics forward is now off to a great start in April and will look for that to continue against a Wizards team that has nothing to play for at this point. So, yes, Jayson Tatum is playing today vs. the Wizards, and don't be surprised if he has a monster game.
