How about the Celtics? No Jayson Tatum, no Kristaps Porzingis, no problem. Brown, White, and Jrue are enough to defeat the Raptors. But of all the players in there, Luke Kornet has the spotlight on him. He helped a lot on both the offensive and defensive end of the floor. That's a big win for the Celtics to continue their winning streak. It's now on the 5th win.
Celtics really have a very good squad depth on their roster, and that's why you guys like Luke Kornet, Sam Hauser and Pritchard come into the starting lineup or off the bench and make huge impact, and their latest Portugese center Neemsia Queta have been a solid addition to the team too.
If Celtics are able to reduce their extreme dependence on 3 pointer shots, and find other ways like driving into perimiter more and geting more point from the paint area, they'll be a team to be in the league this season and I'll tip them as my favorite for the championship this year, provided they are able to keep their core players fit and avoid long term injuries that could deter their ambitions.
