Celtics push their way back into league’s top third in recent NBA power rankings

People are starting to take the team seriously as a dangerous team again after their recent success — but can they keep it up?

After a tough winter and early spring, the Boston Celtics look the part of a team turning their season around and finding their way as a unit. A six-game winning streak — currently the NBA’s longest — and better health have gone a long way towards that end, as has the introduction of new players at the trade deadline and most recently former No. 2 pick Jabari Parker.

And with twin star wings Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum looking every bit of the All-Stars they were named earlier this season in recent games with the latter flirting with superstar-like production in games of late, it’s no wonder the club has been charging up power rankings again.

Let’s take a look at where the Celtics are pegged by the experts.
