Boston’s Derrick White is feeling it so far tonight and stepping up where the Celtics need it most. He’s up to 14 points in eight minutes and is 4-for-5 from deep. That’s two-thirds of Boston’s points thus far, as it leads New York 21-16 in the early goings.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum recently underwent surgery to repair his torn right Achilles. The six-time NBA All-Star faces a long spell on the sidelines because of the injury.

Tatum has been featured as Superman in a TV spot airing during NBA playoffs. It’s plugging the latest cinematic incarnation of “Superman” set to hit theaters this summer. In the spot, Superman is taking a day off to watch the NBA playoffs, so Tatum fills in, saving humanity and a few cats.
