TOR vs BOS Match Prediction
Toronto Raptors Preview
The Toronto Raptors enter the game against the Boston Celtics with a 5-6 record, indicative of their unpredictable play this season. The Raptors, who are still suffering from a recent 128-112 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, are looking for revenge on their home court at Scotiabank Arena.
The Raptors are desperate to reverse their course after falling to the Celtics earlier in the season by a score of 117-94. Pascal Siakam, who scored 17 points in their previous meeting, will be an important factor in their quest for victory.

Boston Celtics Preview
The Boston Celtics, who lead the Eastern Conference with a 9-2 record, are set to continue their winning ways when they meet the Toronto Raptors in the NBA In-Season Tournament. The Celtics are a force to be dealt with, riding a four-game winning streak that includes their win against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Celtics have shown offensive firepower and defensive skill all season, led by the dynamic combination of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Brown’s great performance of 29 points, five rebounds, and two assists in the Celtics’ previous win over the Raptors demonstrates the team’s ability to control the game.
Entering the matchup with confidence, the Celtics aim to extend their dominance not only in the Eastern Conference but also in the entire NBA, currently sharing the league’s best record with the Denver Nuggets.
