Power ranking each NBA team by their 2-on-2 NBA Jam pairings

10. Boston Celtics: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

Boston has myriad ways to build a 2-on-2 squad, but their “Jay team” makes the most sense. Tatum looked like he was on his way to superstardom before the season was paused, and Brown made a leap that justified his lucrative contract extension.

The main concern is if one of them gets sized up by a post scorer. But they have more of an advantage offensively, especially if they’re both hitting their shots. This is one of the more matchup-proof tandems in the league.

9. Toronto Raptors: Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry

One of the more traditional pairs, Siakam and Lowry complement each other quite well. Siakam, the reigning Most Improved Player who could win it again, is a multi-positional defender who can finish over and around most players in the league. His activity is a constant threat on both ends, an electrifying player with tantalizing length and skills.

Lowry has proven to be a great complement to high-usage stars, being an efficient shooter and scorer in the right spots. He also has no problem taking a bigger assignment in a pinch, as he has sneakily been one of the best post defenders at his position.
