Portis: Celtics 'Sleeper Team' for Title

NBA veteran Bobby Portis has identified the Boston Celtics as his sleeper team for championship contention, praising their culture and system.

Bobby Portis, an 11-year NBA veteran, considers the Boston Celtics a sleeper team for championship contention. 'My sleeper team is Boston,' Portis said on FanDuel TV's 'Run It Back,' explaining that 'Culture is everything to me, man. When you talk about guys that's been there, guys that have done it.'

The Celtics have remained title contenders despite Jayson Tatum's injury, clinching a playoff berth and their fifth straight 50-win season. With Tatum now back at a high level, Portis believes Boston will be ready for the postseason. 'Them guys gonna be ready in the playoffs, and they got a crazy system that allows them to be great,' Portis said.
