Boston Celtics

Payton Pritchard is once again proving to be a key player this season in the positive development of the Boston Celtics, emerging as a great spark off the bench and providing good game management and scoring. So much so, that he is already the leading scorer among substitutes in the entire NBA, significantly surpassing Naz Reid, his closest pursuer. He is a strong contender for the Sixth Man of the Year award.

Most Points off the Bench, this season:

296 — Payton Pritchard

254 — Naz Reid

Boston Celtics will not be able to finish first in their group in the NBA Cup 2024, but they keep intact their chances of qualifying as one of the best second-placed teams. Therefore, in their game against the Chicago Bulls, Mazzula called a timeout with just over a second left when they already had the game won, leading by 6 points. He did it to try to improve the basket average and succeeded. A victory by 129-138 that qualifies the Hawks and keeps the Celtics' dream alive.

The importance of the point differential for actions is greatly appreciated (when the Cup ends) but we no longer see it. https://t.co/7TpzZ3kV2D

The level gap between the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference is more pronounced than ever this season, but nonetheless, there are four teams from the East capable of having a positive record against Western Conference opponents. In addition to the two dominant teams from the East, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, we have the cases of the Milwaukee Bucks and perhaps the most surprising, the Brooklyn Nets.
