Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 64% chance of winning the game
The Celtics enter Toronto on a four-game winning streak and face a Raptors squad reeling from a blowout loss and missing key scorer RJ Barrett.
Key Analysis
- • RJ Barrett is confirmed out with a knee injury, stripping Toronto of a primary scorer and rim attacker.
- • Jaylen Brown and Derrick White have successfully carried the offense in Jayson Tatum's absence, leading Boston to four straight victories.
- • The Celtics have historically dominated this matchup, winning 9 of the last 10 games against the Raptors.
- • Toronto's defense has struggled significantly, allowing an average of 117.2 points over their last five games.
- • Momentum heavily favors Boston, as the Raptors are coming off a demoralizing 25-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
- • To remain competitive, the Raptors must force turnovers and capitalize on transition points to offset Boston's superior half-court execution.
