Can Jayson Tatum emerge as a true frontrunner for the NBA MVP award this season? Over recent seasons, Tatum seems to be a part of the MVP conversation during the season but remains on the outside looking in by the end of the year.

Jayson Tatum, a standout player for the Boston Celtics, combines an advanced physical regimen with a strict diet to excel as both a Small Forward and Power Forward.

Jayson Tatum is unquestionably one of the best players in the world. The Boston Celtics forward is an elite scorer, playmaker, rebounder, screener and high-level defender. Last season, he helped lead the Celtics to a franchise 18th championship while operating as their star player.

Currently on a two-game losing streak, the Cavs will be without a critical defender against Jayson Tatum and the Celtics.
