Just because the Boston Celtics happen to be the betting favorites to win the 2023 NBA Playoffs a season after coming within two wins of doing so in 2022 doesn’t mean that the Celtics are also seen as having the top-rated trio of stars in the latest ratings update of NBA 2K according to a new assessment by HoopsHype.
In fact, the Celtics check in at just fifth in the league in terms of the combined overall ratings of their three best players, in this case, Robert Williams III (85), Jaylen Brown (87), and Jayson Tatum (90). Ahead of them are Devin Booker (91), Chris Paul (90), and Deandre Ayton (85) of the Phoenix Suns, the Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant (96), Kyrie Irving (89), and Ben Simmons (83), Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo (97), Khris Middleton (86), and Jrue Holiday (86), and Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid (96), James Harden (89), and Tyrese Maxey (85) in reverse order.
