Boston takes on the Denver Nuggets after Jayson Tatum scored 46 points in the Boston Celtics' 123-116 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers trailed the Boston Celtics by 22 points with 7:12 left in the first quarter – and came back to win, 123-116, at TD Garden. They also left no doubt who should be atop the Arizona Republic’s latest power rankings.

LeBron James scored 17 points in a Lakers win over the Clippers last night. When you combine the regular season and playoffs, LeBron is now at 49,999 for his career. He’s the first player to ever reach 49,999 combined points. He’s also the betting favorite to be the first player to get to 50,000 points.

Putting a graphic on the broadcast, ESPN announced that Tatum is one of just three players in NBA history with at least 13,000 points and 4,000 rebounds before age 27. The other two players are Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James.
