Play: Toronto -3 -107
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Raptors have won four straight and six of the last seven against Boston. Toronto is 26-13 at home and has allowed 98.2 ppg in those contests. It also has averaged 105.9 ppg in the second games of back-to-backs, accounting for its highest scoring average in any scenario. The Celtics are 3-18 against Top 10 teams and the Raptors are 29-8 vs. squads in the Bottom 16. DeMar DeRozan has averaged 28.7 ppg in his last three tilts and he leads Toronto in scoring (19.6 ppg). Jonas Valanciunas has averaged 17.5 ppg on 67.4% shooting over his last four. And super-sub Lou Williams averages 15.2 ppg off of the bench. The Raptors shoot better from the perimeter and the foul line and they also should have the rebounding edge. In addition they commit fewer turnovers and block more shots.
