Kyrie Irving Drops 40 Points In Loss

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving dropped 40 points on Sunday against the Orlando Magic for his first 40-point game since he had 47 back on Nov. 20.

Aron Baynes Will Play Sunday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (illness) will play against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. He has a sinus infection, but has decided to give it a go. The Celtics are starting Marcus Morris over Baynes against Orlando. Baynes doesn't have much appeal regardless, but he won't be worth a look on Sunday. He's not a […]

NBA Heat Check: Surging Players in Week 14

Another day, another dollar. Or in this case—another week, another heat check. Statistical analysis has shown evidence that the so-called “hot-hand fallacy” isn’t a fallacy at all. But of course, we already knew that, right? On Tuesday night, Devin Booker scored the last 21 points for the Suns in the fourth quarter. And there’s also […]

Al Horford Puts up Full Line in Loss

Boston Celtics power forward/center Al Horford had his hands full with 76ers center Joel Embiid (26 points, 16 rebounds) on Thursday. Horford had a relatively quiet night, scoring a modest 14 points on 5-for-11 shooting with one three-pointer. He added an underwhelming three rebounds and three assists to go along with some serviceable defensive stats […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 11 Points With Defensive Stats

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had another quiet night on Thursday against Philly, scoring just 11 points on an inefficient 4-for-11 from the field. Tatum hit a big three-pointer at the final two-minute mark to bring the Celtics within striking distance, but the Sixers lead proved to be too much to overcome. He grabbed four […]

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart drew the start on Thursday with Celtics All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined. Smart scored 14 points in his 34 minutes on 6-for-11 shooting with one make from downtown. He added five rebounds and one assist, but the four turnovers hurt owners in this one. Irving could be back […]

Jaylen Brown Keeps Scoring on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had a decent game against the Sixers on Thursday, hitting two treys to finish with 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. This makes six double-digit scoring performances since New Year's Eve with only one dud in that span. He helped out with three rebounds, four assists and one steal in his […]

Marcus Morris Stays Hot on Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris kept up his hot streak on Thursday, scoring 14 points on 4-for-9 shooting. Morris was decent in the rebounding column, coming up with six boards on the night.

Kyrie Irving Out Thursday, Marcus Smart Starting

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) will start over the injured point guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) in Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Irving was questionable coming into the contest with a sore shoulder, but head coach Brad Stevens has decided to be cautious with their star and sit him out Thursday. Smart was […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Smart and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday and are both questionable heading into Thursday's contest with the Sixers. The Celtics could be thin at guard if both of them are unable to play. Terry Rozier, Shane […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable Against Sixers

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He did not practice on Wednesday and also played a season-high 41 minutes in Tuesday's loss to New Orleans. Irving has a 35.4 field goal percentagge over his last five games, so a night off wouldn't be the worst […]

Jayson Tatum Quiet Against the Pelicans

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had the rare quiet game on Tuesday against New Orleans, scoring just 10 points in his 26 minutes. Tatum also added five rebounds and two assists while chipping in one block as well. The rookie doesn't typically look like a rookie, but he did in this one. We expect Tatum […]

Jaylen Brown Scores 16 Points Against the Pelicans

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown played well against the Pelicans on Tuesday but couldn't come through in the clutch for his team. Brown had a pretty complete game, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-14 shooting, including two makes from deep. He was active elsewhere as well, piling up four rebounds and five assists in his […]

Marcus Morris Plays Well Again on Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris had another encouraging performance against the Pelicans, scoring 12 points in his 24 minutes, including one three-pointer. Morris is coming off of a 19-point and eight-board performance in London, England, and while he didn't shoot the ball great on Tuesday (5-for-13), this wasn't a bad game by any means. He […]

Marcus Smart Solid in Overtime Loss

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart had a good game on Tuesday, doing a bit of everything against the Pelicans. Smart connected on three three-pointers in this one, finishing with 16 points on the night.

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving managed to salvage his line on Thursday against the 76ers, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds and seven assists through four quarters. The downside is Irving shot 7-for-20 in the contest and also turned the ball over a game-high five times in this one. Uncle Drew failed to account […]
