Last Week’s Ranking: 4

On the court, the Celtics are rolling. They have a four-game winning streak. Boston has played six clutch games (games with a three-point differential with three minutes or less left), the most of any team in the NBA this season. The C’s came away with four victories in those games, including this week’s putback game-winner from Payton Pritchard. 

The bad news is that most of their frontcourt is in the health and safety protocols. Then on Saturday it was announced that Jayson Tatum will be in quarantine for the next 10 to 14 days. 

The Celtics got good news when it was announced Kemba Walker had been cleared for practice. There was no timetable for when he might return for a game, but it is a step in the right direction.
