Green-on-green round of 16: Gordon Hayward vs. Daniel Theis

Coming off his first All-Star selection and brand new max contract with the Celtics, top seeded Gordon Hayward will take on Daniel Theis in this round of 16 match up. While Theis (6-9, 243lbs) is a rookie, he has the size advantage over Hayward (6-8, 226lbs) and should be a handful down low.

However, it will be hard to stop Hayward’s three level scoring ability and Theis will have a tougher time than some might think dealing with Hayward’s defensive versatility. So will there be a monumental upset early in the tournament or will Hayward take care of business and face the winner of Jaylen Brown vs Guerschon Yabusele?
