Celtics Start Quest to Repeat as Champs
The Celtics beat the Mavericks 4-1 in the NBA Finals last season to win the franchise’s 18th title. Now, they look to become the first repeat champion since the Warriors won titles in 2017 and 2018. Jayson Tatum should be great again (26.9 ppg last season) as he was named to the All-NBA First Team a year ago. Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Al Horford round out a strong starting 5 that will get Kristaps Porzingis (foot) back before January.
Knicks Added KAT in the Offseason
The Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals but didn’t believe that was enough and made a huge trade in the offseason sending Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks. Towns was an All-Star last season as he scored 21.8 points per game and grabbed 8.3 rebounds. He is now paired with stellar guard Jalen Brunson on a Knicks team that was knocked out of the playoffs by the Pacers in the second round.
Keita Bates-Diop, Dante DiVincenzo, and Julius Randle were shipped to Minnesota in the monster deal less than a month ago.
