Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are both on the Celtics' injury report ahead of their final game of 2024 against the Raptors.

Holiday missed a third straight game for the Celtics, while Porzingis sat out both ends of a back-to-back with the Pacers.

Was he born with preternatural defensive instincts? Maybe - but Holiday also worked hard with specific drills to improve his defensive skills as well.

It’s no surprise that the Boston Celtics have high standards. The reigning champions go into nearly every game expecting to win, and when they fall short, they’re always looking to respond. Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis embodied this bounce-back mentality on Tuesday night during a 118-106 win over the Denver Nuggets.

This was the type of performance Kristaps Porzingis and his team had been waiting for. Waylaid by surgery rehab for the first month of the season and then snakebitten by a series of minor injuries, the Celtics big man delivered his most comprehensive outing yet Tuesday night in a road win over the shorthanded Nuggets.
