NBA veteran Bobby Portis has declared the Boston Celtics a 'sleeper team' for the championship, impressed by their culture and recent performance.

NBA veteran Bobby Portis has declared the Boston Celtics a 'sleeper team' for the championship push. During an interview on FanDuel TV's "Run It Back," the Milwaukee Bucks forward praised Boston's culture and experience, noting his team has lost to the Celtics by a combined 56 points in their last two meetings.

The Celtics have proven Portis right by clinching a playoff berth and their fifth straight 50-win season. With Jayson Tatum back and playing at a high level, Boston sits second in the Eastern Conference with the NBA's top-ranked scoring defense, making them a legitimate threat in the postseason.
