Boston Celtics (10-3) and Toronto Raptors (2-10) will return to their league assignments on Saturday night at the TD Garden. The Celtics entered this season looking to defend their NBA Championship title and become the first side to do so since 2019. While time is still on their side, they have dropped some crucial matches, allowing the red-hot Cavaliers to surge ahead on top of the Eastern Conference. They managed to bounce back from the 116-117 loss against the Hawks in the Emirates NBA Cub to tear the Nets apart 114-139 on Thursday. The Celtics can continue their winning momentum against the Raptors, who are on a five-game skid. Toronto play the Pistons in a cup game on Friday night, meaning they could visit Boston with some tired legs.

Our Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

Toronto Raptors are in trouble here, and they know it. The Celtics are in a position where dropping matches is proving too costly as they try to defend their Eastern Conference title. Toronto must start winning matches to secure a postseason spot, which already looks unlikely. They have struggled without their best player, Scottie Barnes, who is out for an unspecified duration with an orbital fracture. Still, they have performed well in attack, although their defense, which is ranked 28th (120-8 PAPG), has let them down most of the time. They should struggle against the league's second-best attack (121.3 PPG). Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors: Boston Celtics for the win.

Prediction:

 

Boston Celtics for the win.
