Toronto Raptors vs. Boston Celtics Matchup: Raps face their biggest test to date

The Toronto Raptors are at home to face the league’s best tonight, as the Boston Celtics are here to put the re-energized Raptors to the test.

The Celtics are 19-5 overall, and 8-3 on the road. Thankfully the Raptors are 9-2 at home, but regardless they’re in tough. It’s hard to believe that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are still getting better, but, the numbers don’t lie:

Before the game, Nick Nurse confirmed that the Raptors do see this as a measuring stick, and that makes sense — at the quarter-mark of the season, with all starters healthy, the Raptors should be looking at these games as opportunities to gauge their progress this season.
