Is Jayson Tatum a MVP Candidate?

Jayson Tatum put on another stellar performance, leading all scorers with 44 PTS on 16-24 FG (6-9 3P) as the Celtics pulled out their fourth straight win in Charlotte on Wednesday night. Tatum broke multiple records, as he became the first player in Celtics franchise history with back-to-back games of 44 PTS or more. The young superstar also broke his previous franchise record of most points in a three game span with 135 PTS in his last three games; he now holds three of the top four spots for that statistic, with Celtics legend Larry Bird coming in at 3rd with 126 PTS.

With this red-hot scoring streak and the Celtics playing excellent team-first basketball, it begs the question: should Jayson Tatum be considered for MVP? Is he a legitimate candidate? The Garden Report sounds off on Tatum's chances at taking home the MVP title.
