Behind the Numbers presented by HUB International: Celtics at Pelicans (1/26/20)

A look at three key numbers related to Sunday’s game at the Smoothie King Center between Boston and New Orleans (5 p.m. Central, ESPN, Fox Sports New Orleans, ESPN Radio New Orleans 100.3 FM):

31.95: Zion Williamson’s small-sample-size PER through two games played. Among all NBA players who’ve logged at least 30 total minutes this season, that ranks third in the league. In the first official week of the Duke University product’s pro career, he’s managed to deliver efficiency at an exceptionally high level, including shooting 75 percent from the field (15 of 20) and 80 percent at the three-point arc (4 of 5).
