Forward Jonathan Kuminga is an athletic, downhill scoring threat. Kuminga can easily soar above the rack and finish with either hand. The 21-year-old averages 15.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. In his previous outing, Kuminga dropped 24 points and six rebounds. See who to back at SportsLine.

Why the Celtics can cover

The five-time All-Star leads the team in both scoring (27.1) and rebounds (8.5). Additionally, he shoots 36% from 3-point land. On Mar. 1, Tatum supplied 32 points and eight rebounds.

Guard Derrick White is an impactful player in Boston’s backcourt. White has the shot to stretch the floor while also being an instinctive passer. The 29-year-old averages 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. In his last matchup, White stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists. See who to back at SportsLine.
