The Boston Celtics are off to a strong start to the NBA’s 2023-24 season, currently holding a 10-2 record and the first seed in the league’s Eastern Conference. They have won their last four games, including a recent victory over the Philadelphia 76ers and both of their in-season tournament (IST) tilts against the Toronto Raptors, and have the best record in the league as a result of their high-level play and emerging bench depth.
The Celtics’ strong start to the season can be attributed to the performances of veteran big man Horford, steadying guard Derrick White, and 2024 MVP candidate Jayson Tatum in particular. Their contributions have given the team stability and helped them overcome challenges early in their current campaign for Banner 18.
With their key players stepping up, the Celtics appear to be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference and more likely the whole league.
