Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 40-40
Once again, the Raptors fell short in their mission to take down Boston, as they lost to the Celtics at TD Garden on Wednesday, 97-93. Toronto had a two-game win streak heading into that game but will have to build fresh momentum again following that defeat to Boston. In that contest, the Raptors got 28 points from Pascal Siakam and 18 from Scottie Barnes.
Fred VanVleet was awful, though, as he threw plenty of bricks, going 2/14 for just seven points in 37 minutes. However, things could get easier this Friday for Toronto as Boston might opt to rest their stars, including Jaylen Brown. Brown played 39 minutes on Wednesday, so Boston might not be all that interested in playing him in essentially a meaningful assignment. The Raptors are 2-1 ATS in their last three road games.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Regular Season Record: 55-25
If the Celtics need any more motivation to win Friday’s game, it’s that they can complete a regular-season sweep of Toronto with a victory in the said contest. Boston did not go 3-0 this season versus the Raptors only to let Toronto prevent a sweep.
Plus the Celtics have just shown that even without some key players, they can take care of business against the Raptors. Their defense still did its trick, as Toronto shot just 41.1 FG% in the last meeting. On the season, Boston is sixth in the NBA with just 111.5 points allowed per game. Malcolm Brogdon led the Celtics with 29 points off the bench in the win over Toronto, while Derrick White had 17 points. This is a well-coached Celtics team that can give any team fits even with a stripped-down lineup. The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
JefeBet Prediction
Driven by the necessity to get a win to improve their chances of a better seed in the Play-in Tournament, the Raptors put up a much better performance for a cover at least versus Boston.
Prediction: The Raptors win, 110-107.
