Kristaps Porzingis has been the Boston Celtics‘ best player over the last two weeks. The veteran center was especially effective during the team’s 122-110 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Jan. 29. He scored 34 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, recorded 3 steals and dished out 3 assists. He also went 10-of-18 from the field, with 8 of those makes coming from deep.
Porzingis has long been viewed as the Celtics‘ X-Factor. When he’s healthy and in rhythm, he’s one of the most unguardable players in the NBA. He has also developed high-level partnerships with both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, providing Joe Mazzulla with multiple rotation combinations that can be effective.
Following the Celtics’ win, Brown praised Porzingis’ contributions during his postgame news conference. The 2024 Finals MVP declared that Porzingis can be ‘scary’ when playing at close to his best.
