The Boston Celtics currently hold the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference but have experienced a slight downturn, splitting their last four games with a 6-4 record over the past ten. Their latest victory was a narrow escape against the New Orleans Pelicans, where Jayson Tatum shone with 38 points and 11 rebounds, despite a lackluster performance from the three-point line.

Boston's struggles from beyond the arc have become evident, as they registered a mere 32.8 percent shooting from three in January, ranking as one of the lowest in the league. This is a stark contrast to their previous season's performance, where they excelled in three-point shooting.
