1. Tatum leads the NBA in most minutes played (incl. playoffs) since getting drafted. He's on pace to become the 9th player in NBA history to reach 20,000 minutes played (RS + PO) before age 26.
2. Brown leads the team in dunks made (37). 9.2% of his FGAs are dunk attempts, by far the highest in his last six seasons.
3. White is one of only two players (Giannis) averaging 1+ blocks per game, 1+ steals per game, and 60%+ effective FG%.
4. Porzingis is the only player averaging 1.8 blocks per game and 1.8 made threes per game.
5. In his 15th season, Holiday has career highs in 3-pt attempt rate (.422) and 3-pt percentage (41.2%).
6. Horford is one of only two players (Lebron) in NBA history averaging 7+ ppg, 7+ rpg, and 1+ made threes per game after age 36.
7. Hauser is shooting 45.4% from beyond the arc off the bench. He's the only bench player that's made at least 60 threes at 42%+ 3FG%.
8. Pritchard is one of only two players (Kenrich Williams) with an offensive rebounding % of 4.0%+ and assist/turnover ratio of 5.0+.
9. Luke Francis Kornet's listed height is 7 feet 1 inch. If he was named Juke, we would've called him JFK.

11. The Celtics have six guys coming off the bench with an offensive rebounding % of 7.5%+ (minimum 8 GP). No other team has more than 4, let alone all 4 off the bench.
