The Celtics didn't make any moves to their starting five and will retain a majority of their players from last season. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown remain the nucleus of this exciting group. The usage really sticks with them, especially as the backcourt struggles to stay healthy. Kemba Walker has dealt with knee issues and is already scheduled to miss some time throughout the year. Boston will opt to start Jeff Teague in those games alongside Marcus Smart, who is the everyday shooting guard this season. The frontcourt has always been a struggle for Boston in terms of having a reliable center. Daniel Theis remains the frontcourt option, who had an up and down prior season. The Eastern Conference is certainly improved from last season, and Boston will have their hands full trying to make another run.

The starters for the Boston Celtics consist of Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker, and Gordon Hayward. All of these names except for Hayward have started over 50 games this season. Marcus Smart will also draw the occasional start.
Marcus Smart is not a regular starter, but given the Celtics injury situation to their point guards over the last few seasons, he has made a few starts. However, he is more viewed as the team's 6th man and first off the bench.
The most common lineup for the Boston Celtics this season has been Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker, and Gordon Hayward. They have only started a total of 16 games this season. Brad Stevens is known for adjusting his starting lineups more.
Daniel Theis has played well this season, but in comparison to the rest of the starting Celtics, he would qualify as the worst starter. However, he has made massive strides this season and has been a pest defensively.
This position has been a revolving door over the last few seasons, but Daniel Theis has locked down the starting job this season. He has been a top-five defensive player for the Celtics this season and has averaged nine points and six rebounds.
Jayson Tatum has 59 starts in the 2019-20 season, which leads all Celtics players. Tatum is averaging 23 points per game and also 7.1 rebounds. He is sitting with a 56% true-shooting percentage as well.
