Keith Smith: "Kristaps Porzingis has already shown up a few times with his rim protection. No blocks, but he's changed a few shots and twice had guys pass on taking layups. That's huge for Boston."

The Celtics are in the middle of a six-game winning streak.

They will play their next game on Friday night when they visit Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

Porzingis is in his 10th NBA season (and second with Boston).
