Forsberg: What does a successful 2020-21 season look like for Celtics?

So, maybe his inclusion among the best of the NBA's best shouldn't surprise us anymore (especially after he grew two inches this offseason).

Will Tatum have company on the East's 2021 All-Star roster? (The game itself won't be played this season due to COVID-19.) Jaylen Brown ranks 14th in the East odds hierarchy at +175 while Kemba Walker is 22nd with +400 odds, so sports bettors apparently don't believe so.

Brown may have something to say about those odds after averaging a career-high 20.3 points per game last season, however.
