Tonight will be the first of four regular season matchups between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics. In the preseason, they split their games, with the Celtics capturing the first by four points, and the Raptors securing the second by a single point.
Boston is currently 10-3, with their only losses coming by single-digit deficits. They’re second in the East, only to the undefeated Cavaliers. The Celtics are building a case to repeat as champions this year, and their play so far has made that goal seem achievable. With their two main stars, Jaylen Brown (25-7-4) and Jayson Tatum (30-7-5) both putting up big numbers, and plenty of support from the bench, they will be the heavy favorites in this contest.
