After a slow start in his Boston debut versus Philly, Kemba Walker is on a tear

After a tough season opener against the Philadelphia 76'ers, Celtics guard Kemba Walker is on a tear with his new team. In the loss to Philly, Kemba managed only 12 points of 4-of-18 from the field and 1-of-6 on 3-pointers, adding two rebounds and two assists. Since then Boston has won four games in a row, with Kemba setting the tone for his teammates while scoring at a high clip.

In the Celtics 104-102 win last night versus the Knicks, Kemba had a line of 33P/6R/5A.

The same story is playing out in the 2019-20 NBA season. In four games thus far, R. J. is averaging 20.5 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 3.3 APG and 2.0 SPG for the New York Knicks- all while hitting 50% on field goals and 47% on treys. Zion, meanwhile is out of action after meniscus surgery on his injured knee, and he is not expected back until December. He was the #1-overall pick by the Pelicans in the 2019 draft.
