Analysts project starting lineup options for the 2026-27 Boston Celtics season

The Boston Celtics roster for the 2026-27 NBA season features an uncertain starting rotation outside of Jayson Tatum. While Tatum remains a lock for a starting position, other spots on the floor remain subject to competition during the upcoming campaign. Derrick White holds a strong case to secure a starting role, while the center position could feature a rotation between Neemias Queta and recent acquisition Mitchell Robinson. The shooting guard spot also involves several candidates, with Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman listed as potential options to compete for the position. Hosts on the Celtics Talk podcast recently examined these roster configurations to determine how the final starting five might look when the season begins. The organization continues to evaluate depth chart possibilities as the start of the regular season approaches.
