It is a fun fact that two of the Boston Celtics' current players share the same birthday. Those two players are none other than All-Stars Kyrie Irving at Gordon Hayward.

Both were born on March 23rd, but Hayward is two years older as he was born in 1990 while Irving in 1992.

There is no denying the fact that these two are capable of firing up whichever team they play for that is before Hayward got hurt.

Their chemistry has been good so far in the short time that they're together.

According to Nicole Yang, Irving believes that there are some personality things that are aligned between him and Hayward.

Currently the Celtics are trying to find their rhythm. They've had a slow start and which they could bounce back in the coming days.

Their 12-10 record is good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. But that is unimpressive compared to what they have done in the past two seasons.

Hayward and Irving both arrived in Boston before the 2017-18 season kicked off. They are expected to team-up and challenge, then reigning Kings of the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Irving quickly made a splash for Boston, but Hayward did not. The latter suffered a season-ending injury that cost him a year in his career.

It was the Duke product who took care of business and guided the Celtics to the Eastern Conference championship last season.

Now the two are playing along side each other and together they'll be aiming to ignite the Celtics back in their previous year's form. Irving continues to pour in big numbers with 22.3 points per game. Hayward, meanwhile, is trying to find his stride back, he provides support with 10.2 points per game.
