The six-time All-Star finished with 21 points, four rebounds and six assists in the Celtics' 117-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Tatum shot 6-for-19 from the field but connected on five of his 11 three-point attempts.

Philadelphia enters Tuesday's contest atop the Eastern Conference after recording its best start through 11 games since the 2000-01 season, when Allen Iverson led the franchise to the NBA Finals.

Boston, meanwhile, has won three consecutive games and will look to extend its winning streak during the third stop of its four-game road trip.

Tuesday's matchup will mark the first regular-season meeting between Brown and Tatum as opponents, adding another storyline to an early-season battle between two of the Eastern Conference's top teams.
