The Boston Celtics will play host to the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden in the NBA on Friday night. The Celts (23-13) are third in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Raps (23-15) are in fourth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Boston Celtics have been in good form, winning four of their last five games, but they will be looking to get back in the win column after coming up short, 114-110, against the Nuggets in midweek.
In the absence of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown has been massive this season. He tied Larry Bird’s franchise record for consecutive games with 30+ points (9) last month and put up 33 against Denver last time out.
Even when Brown has not been at his best, the likes of Anfernee Simons and Payton Pritchard have stepped up, helping the C’s to maintain the second-best offence in the NBA this season.
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in great shape lately too, now riding a three-match win streak following a nail-biting 97-96 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday.
What was most impressive about their victory over Charlotte was that they got the result despite having an underwhelming shooting night. They went 41% from the field and made just seven of 34 from range.
The Raps are 11-7 on the road, but they’ve already lost twice at home to this opponent this season.

Our Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Boston Celtics have been good at home and have beaten this opponent twice already this season, but they are still the slowest-paced team in the league and are coming off a loss to a depleted Nuggets.
The Raps have been impressive lately and have the fourth-best defensive rating in the NBA this season. However, they’ve not been great on offence and have Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram listed as questionable for this match. For these reasons, we feel this one will go under the total points line. Our Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors prediction is under 224.5.
