How the Season Has Started

George scored 38 points in his Celtics debut on Oct. 20, the most by a Celtics player in a debut, according to Yahoo Sports. Detroit won that opener 121-113 after Boston blew a 22-point second-half lead.

The Celtics have won three straight since then. They beat the Knicks 107-103 on Oct. 23 and the Bulls 134-99 on Oct. 26. On Oct. 27, Jayson Tatum scored 40 points and made a 17-foot jumper at the buzzer to give Boston a 125-124 overtime win over Brooklyn. George added 20 points, and Boston is 3-0 at home.

The Celtics host Chicago on Oct. 30 before road games at Orlando on Nov. 1 and Houston on Nov. 2. Their performance over the next three games could shape the Celtics odds as the 2026-27 season continues.
