Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have triumphed over Memphis and Portland before beating Boston. Currently they have 36 wins and 16 defeats in the account. As far as home games are concerned, the Raptors have the best score in the entire league, having won 21 of 25 home games. Therefore, they are also favorites in this duel against Boston, and adding that the Celtics are decimated before this match in Canada, a clear triumph of today’s hosts is expected. Toronto and Boston have met one this season and the Raptors have suffered a minimal 94-95 defeat in Boston.
In a triumph over Memphis, coach Casey gave his reserve bench a lot of time. The Toronto reserve players took advantage of this in the best possible way, scoring 52 points, while the Memphis Reserve Bank only scored 19 points. In this way, the regulars were able to recover well before this match against the leaders of the Eastern Conference. It is important that all regular players are in good shape. CJ Miles, who has missed the last three matches, is also fit. The Raptors have a much more efficient attack than the Celtics, but they are defensively inferior and collect about 5.5 points more than Boston.

Boston Celtics
The Celtics have not won the last four away games against the Raptors and once again they will not have an easy time of it, especially as they have to give up some very important players due to injury. First and foremost we think of playmaker Irving, the team’s best player, as well as Larkin, Smart and Morris, while newcomer Monroe is expected to join the team. Well, the Celtics have a big problem with the player squad, which also came up in the duel against Portland. They opened the match very badly and had a double-digit deficit already in the half-time break.
Nevertheless, they managed to find their way back to the game in the last quarter and celebrated the valuable victory after the successful throw of Horford in the last game seconds. Currently, they occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference and have 39 wins and 15 defeats in the account. As for the guest appearances, they have the second best result in the entire league (18-7). They celebrated in the first match against Toronto and then they had to do without Irving, but five players had double-digit points and led their team for the 12th victory in series.
Expected lineup Boston: Rozier, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Bayness
