Boston is assumed to have much better defense this season adding Jrue Holiday to the starting five, and it's likely we get to see the real reason the Celtics aquired the champion point gaurd. He's going to be tasked with guarding Jalen Brunson and with the size differential but similarity in agility, Brunson is going to have a tough time scoring consistently. Julius Randall isn't the post dominant big man to really give the Celtics trouble in the paint, and the benches for both teams are both young and unproven but I give Celtics the edge with more chemistry off the bench. I just see this being a struggle for New York to open the season and Porzingas returns to where it all started, it would be a great way to truly ignite his first game as an NBA Championship Contender.
