Celtics rumors: Boston’s trade outlook gets ‘positive’ twistErik Slater ·

He has averaged five points more per game than fellow star Jaylen Brown, who checks in at 24.7 points per game so far for Coach Joe Mazzulla's team.

Porzingis has rebounded from several injury-plagued years to average 20.7 points per game along with nearly eight rebounds per game. Three-point ace Derrick White is averaging 15 points per game while Jrue Holiday is focusing on playing his usual smothering defense at the shoot guard position. Holiday is averaging 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds for the Celtics.

The Celtics' formidable lineup of wing players, guards and big men has them pegged as a dark horse NBA Finals candidate for 2023-2024. Mazzulla's team is one of the most balanced in the league, but a better playoff performance is needed against a new battery of challengers in an Eastern Conference that has suddenly become loaded with talent.
