Celtics' Daniel Theis posts 22 points, 10 boards, 5 dimes, 4 blocks
Boston Celtics power forward Daniel Theis scored 22 points (8-of-15 field goals, 2-of-4 3-pointers, 4-of-7 free throws) with 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks in 32.3 minutes of a 133-77 beatdown of the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.
Theis set career-bests in points, assists, and blocks while making the most of absences to both Al Horford (knee) and Aron Baynes (ankle). He hadn't logged more than 18 minutes in his first four games of the season. Theis role in Monday's home game against the New Orleans Pelicans will largely depend on the health of the Celtics' frontcourt.
Theis scored more FanDuel points on Saturday (56.5) than his previous combined total for the season (47.7).
