The New Orleans Saints had an outstanding linebacker tandem of Demario Davis and Kwon Alexander in 2020. Davis is an All-Pro and has been one of the league s best defensive players since his arrival to New Orleans in 2018. Alexander s arrival via trade in 2020 helped elevate the Saints into one of the NFL s best defensive units.

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens describes forward Semi Ojeleye as being very reliable. That’s why he turned to Ojeleye on Thursday night to fill in as a starter, marking only his second start of the season, and 11th of his four-year NBA career.
Ojeleye took full advantage of the opportunity. He led his team in scoring with a career-high 24 points, a result of hitting six 3-pointers. In the 120-106 Boston win over Toronto, Ojeleye played a season-high 30 minutes, and was extremely efficient with that time 8-of-12 shooting from the field (66.7 percent), 6-of-8 from 3-point range (75 percent), and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.
