Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and Boston Celtics phenom Jayson Tatum have been named Players of the Month for their respective conferences.
This news is not surprising at all: anyone who has been paying attention to the NBA over the last few weeks has seen both Booker and Tatum demolishing the competition and playing some of the best ball of their careers.
Booker & Tatum’s Totals
During November, Booker has put up an average of 28.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, with his most recent game being his best.
That was when he scored 51 points against the Chicago Bulls.
As for Tatum, he has earned 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists a game, with his latest game also being the best of the month with 49 against the Miami Heat.
These two guys have been excellent for a long time but November has really shown off their skills in a very strong, undeniable way.
It’s no surprise that Booker’s Suns and Tatum’s Celtics are the top teams in their conferences.
Does this mean that we will be seeing both players face off against each other when the Finals roll around?
That wouldn’t be surprising at all.
At the same time, one wonders if both Booker and Tatum can keep up these numbers all season long.
