Boston Celtics Riding Four-Game Win Streak
Boston head north of the border on a four-game winning run that has improved their record to 9-2.
The Celtics opened the season with a defeat in Detroit, only to answer that loss with a five-game win streak.
That run was ended by a 109-93 defeat at Houston, but they have not lost since that November 2 matchup.
Boston rebounded at home with a 109-102 victory over Milwaukee, and they have backed that up on the road.
The Celtics began this trip with a 119-80 blowout of the Hornets in Charlotte, before moving on to win 117-97 in Milwaukee, and 123-101 in Philadelphia just last night.
Toronto Raptors 5-5 After Inconsistent Start
Toronto enter this matchup on the back of another loss, which has dropped them to 5-5 through 10 games.
The Raptors made a good start as they won three of their first four games, but they ended October with a 121-114 loss to Orlando and have struggled to get back on track since.
That loss was followed by a 131-125 defeat at the Los Angeles Lakers, and they then failed to follow up a 125-118 success at the LA Clippers.
Toronto were beaten 128-109 by the Nuggets in Denver, only to then rebound with a 121-107 success at Milwaukee.
The Raptors again failed to follow up a win though, as they were beaten 118-102 at home by Memphis on Monday night.
Verdict
Boston have momentum on their side and are the healthier team heading into this matchup, with Toronto missing some key pieces.
The Celtics have also dominated Toronto in recent seasons, winning all but one of the last 10 meetings, so we expect to see a road win and cover here.
