Boston News & Notes
After a busy offseason that saw Boston lose Kyrie Irving and Al Horford but bring in Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter, fans were curious to see how the new-look Celtics would do in 2019-20. So far, they’ve been excellent; since losing their first game of the season on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics are a perfect 6-0 SU and 5-0-1 ATS over their last six games.
Walker has fit right in with his new team, averaging 24.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and four assists per game. But the real key to Boston’s hot start has been the resurgence of Gordon Hayward. Hayward’s first two seasons with the Celtics were not a success, but he’s back on track in his third season with the team, averaging 20.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
