Having Theis in the starting lineup has been a good thing for the Celtics.

Friday was Theis’ sixth career start, with the Celtics winning each of the previous five games with him beginning the game with the first unit.

The Celtics were already down Enes Kanter (knee) and Tacko Fall (concussion), so having Theis available gives them three healthy big men along with Robert Williams and Vincent Poirier.
