The Boston Celtics have continued their stellar form of late, winning their last 9 games out of 10 and are currently on an eight-game win streak. They have jumped up to the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference and are steadily improving, even with injuries to a few of their players.

They have a 18-10 record as of now and are just 3.5 games behind the leaders, Toronto Raptors. In their last game, the Celtics managed to beat the Atlanta Hawks, 129-108. A player who has been in some marvelous form for the Celtics with consistency is Kyrie Irving.

In his previous match against the Atlanta Hawks, he scored 24 points in just 24 minutes, adding 5 rebounds, 5 assists and a massive 4 steals as well.

This season, Kyrie is averaging more than 22 points per game, along with 6 assists and almost 5 rebounds per game too. He seems to be heating up as the season progress and the Celtics are starting to bank more and more on how Kyrie's game is and he seems to be running the floor effectively.

His next game is against the Detroit Pistons, who are currently on a 6 game losing streak and it will an interesting game to follow.
