The Boston Celtics, after two disappointing playoff exits in recent years, are gearing up for Year 5 under Coach Joe Mazzulla, who previously earned Coach of the Year honors. With Jayson Tatum stepping up as the primary option and new veterans like Paul George joining the roster, the team aims to surpass last season’s 56 wins and advance further in the playoffs. However, the Eastern Conference has become more competitive, with key rivals strengthening their teams. Mazzulla’s playoff performance will be crucial, as FanDuel gives the Celtics the fifth-best odds to win the championship at +1400.
