The Celtics have gotten consistent scoring this season from new leading man Jaylen Brown, who ranks 12th in the NBA in points per game (27.4) and is on pace for the best field-goal percentage of his career (50.5%). It took Boston’s other two headliners a bit longer to catch up.

The 2025-26 Boston Celtics are a strange team. That’s not to suggest that fans expected much more of the NBA’s most winningest franchise 14 games into the regular season.

The temptation of tanking for Boston in a season where Tatum is expected to miss all or the vast majority of the year is suddenly starting to fade as well. There is a massive gap between the Celtics and the bottom of the East standings already just a month into a season and that’s only expected to grow in the coming weeks.

Jaylen Brown scored 29 points, Payton Pritchard had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets 113-99 to move above .500 for the first time this season.

It hasn’t been the seamless start to the season for the Boston Celtics, and the Boston faithful might have scripted in their minds. An 0-3 stumble out of the gate, followed by a recovery, then another dip—it’s been a season of fits and starts.
