The Toronto Raptors will welcome the Boston Celtics in their next assignment in the NBA, hoping to return to winning ways. Their recent struggles have allowed the Celtics to catch up to them in the East, and they sit just 0.5 games behind entering this match. Read on to find our prediction.

The Raptors are witnessing a dip in form and will be keen to arrest this with a big win against their in-form visitors. Darko Rajakovic’s men, who sit third in the East with a 15-9 record, have won just one of their last five fixtures.

They have lost to teams that are above and over .500 in this stretch, twice to the Hornets. The Raptors were outclassed at home by the Hornets last time out, falling 111-86.

The Celtics have gained momentum after a shaky start to the season. They have recorded nine of their 14 wins so far in their last 11 outings and are currently on a four-game winning streak.

Joe Mazzulla’s men, who only have long-term absentee Jason Tatum on their latest injury report, have improved to five games above .500.

They are coming off a 126-105 victory over the Lakers at home, their third successive win against a team that is at least four games above .500.
