Evan Fournier continues his hot streak
Without Jaylen Brown, the Boston Celtics lose a ton of their offensive production, but over the last few weeks, Evan Fourneir has started to get comfortable in Boston’s system and is looking like the player the Celtics knew he could be when they traded for him.

When he first got to Boston, Fournier really struggled to find his footing and then missed a handful of games due to being in the league’s health and safety protocols, but over the course of his last 7 games, Fournier has averaged 19.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and has shot 56.9% from three-point range.
The Wizards gave up the most points to their opponents on average during the regular season this year league-wide, which is why Fournier is set to have another big game and continue his hot streak. With Tatum and Walker getting all of the attention on offense, Fournier should be left open for plenty of decent looks from beyond the arc.
Boston will need Evan Fourneir to have another big game if they are to win this one against the Wizards and claim the 7-seed instead of having to battle the winner of the 9/10 matchup for the 8-seed.
