Despite the tough shooting game for Jayson Tatum yesterday, the Celtics had a -112.1 Net RTG with him off the floor, compared to +13.4 with him on

Tatum clearly didn't have a great game yesterday with only 19/7/6 after his first 0-pt first half since 2021, but I thought this stat was pretty insane, and shows how integral he is to everything the Celtics do, even when the basic box score stats don't always show it.

I know this is a very small sample size, and one game on-off doesn't mean much, but these extreme numbers paint a picture of what Celtics fans have seen all year. The decline of every role player (aside from PP and KP recently) and the fall-off from Jaylen has made the Celtics more Tatum dependent than ever before.

Tatum ON:

Net RTG: 13.4

Off RTG: 129.3

Def RTG: 115.9

Tatum OFF:

Net RTG: -112.1

Off RTG: 46.2

Def RTG: 158.3
