Evaluating the Celtics bench through four playoff games

The Celtics are considered one of the deepest teams in the NBA. We all know about their top-6 of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Al Horford.

The only bench guys who have played meaningful minutes thus far in the Celtics first round series against the Orlando Magic are Sixth Man of the Year Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet.

The results have been a mixed bag.

Let’s start with Pritchard, who began the series with an awesome Game 1.

He had 19 points and 3 assists on 6/8 from the field and 4/6 from three.
