The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics have been inconsistent recently, but their veteran center has been on a roll. Kristaps Porzingis will aim to continue his strong play when Boston opens a three-game road trip with a visit to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

After Kristaps Porzingis' bizarre 'meat' statement, he had to go on social media and explain himself the next day.

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown described it as “scary” when Kristaps Porzingis is that hot from 3-point land. Porzingis was at his best Wednesday in the Celtics' blowout win over the Bulls, putting up 26 points in the first half alone.
