With the first 16 games of the schedule building towards the Showcase Cup, the NBA G League then shifts to the traditional Regular Season. All standings reset – that means Maine goes from their 8-8 Showcase cup record back to 0-0.
It’s a welcomed reset for head coach Blaine Mueller and the Celtics. With new Two-Way player Drew Peterson joining the roster in late December, the Maine Celtics are ready to roll into 2024.

Peterson has shown flashes of what the Boston Celtics like in him – an ability to score and defend at a high level.
The leader of this Maine Celtics team continues to be Peterson’s fellow Two-Way player. JD Davison remains among league leaders in assists per game, and just set the franchise record for all-time assists, passing former league MVP Tim Frazier for the top spot.
The month of January continues to be a busy time for Maine, and a great time to come to the Portland Expo. With eight home games in January, the Expo will be rocking every single weekend.
