The Boston Celtics have emerged as the team to beat early in the NBA’s 2023-24 season. Led by the dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics show no signs of slowing down. The team’s success is also tied to the exceptional play of Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White.
Tatum, in particular, has been a standout player, and the Celtics’ perimeter defense, led by White and Holiday, has been elite, while Porzingis’s size as a 7-foot-3 big man creates matchup problems for opponents. Brown has also been heating up and the Celtics’ bench, though still needing improvement, has shown promise with players like Payton Pritchard and Al Horford stepping up. Looking ahead, the Celtics have a favorable schedule and a clear path to a 10-0 start to the season.
