The Boston Celtics bounced back from a tough loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder by defeating the Denver Nuggets 118-106. Despite growing concerns about this team, Boston showed why they are still one of the best teams in the NBA.

Mazzulla said before the game that Holiday and Porzingis are getting better every day, but wouldn’t provide specific details on their timetable or the seriousness of their shoulder and ankle

Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are both on the Celtics' injury report ahead of their final game of 2024 against the Raptors.

Holiday recently opened up about the impact Porzingis has on Boston's ability to stack victories after a recent win over the Denver Nuggets.

Was he born with preternatural defensive instincts? Maybe - but Holiday also worked hard with specific drills to improve his defensive skills as well.

Holiday missed a third straight game for the Celtics, while Porzingis sat out both ends of a back-to-back with the Pacers.

Suddenly, a Boston Celtics team that ripped off a seven-game win streak in November before hitting a December slump looks primed for another run, especially after a 3-1 road trip to kick off the new year.

It has been apparent even to the untrained eye that KP has not been himself when on the court for the Celtics since returning from an ankle injury.
