Our game of the week for week 6 is the red-hot Celtics vs the Suns. The Suns are now on a two game losing streak and need to bounce back after an upset loss last week to the one-win Spurs. The Celtics have been red-hot ever since there week 1 loss against the Lakers. They were missing Wesley Chery that game and I think as we're now halfway through the season, the Celtics are a much different team now then they were week 1. They've outscored their opponents these last 4 weeks by 94 points combined. Since the Suns loss against the Lakers, it seems to have shaken them up and they desperately need a win for their momentum to not keep spiraling down. It'll be interesting to see how each team matches up defensively.
Who to watch
For the Celtics, Corey Jackson has been their most consistent player. He has been there all around playmaker and had a triple double last week in their blowout win against the Cavs. He had 6 assists in the first 5 minutes of the game. Jackson is arguably the quickest player in the league and is deemed to have a big game tomorrow. Big man Nate Baker has been slept on this season, we can see him having a monster double double game tomorrow as it'll be interesting to see who guards up with Baker. For the Suns, Josias Metellus had a big game in their loss against the Spurs and was firing from deep, he'll need help from Mccrady Metelus and Trayvond Etienne to overcome the Celtics and their quickness. This game will be a fun matchup and it'll be interesting to see who comes on top as it will tweak the playoff bracket up.
