After a 2019-20 campaign that saw them come within two games of reaching their first NBA finals appearance in over a decade, the Boston Celtics have managed to follow things up with an impressive start to 2020-21.
Through 18 games, the team boasts a record of 10-8, placing them fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Two of their top stars in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown — both of whom took massive strides forward last season — are having themselves career years, posting 25+ points, 5+ rebounds, 3+ assists, and over a steal per game on upwards of 48 percent shooting from the floor and 43 percent shooting from deep, and perhaps landed the steal of the 2020 NBA Draft in Payton Pritchard.
