The Boston Celtics are tipped to cover the spread as they visit the Toronto Raptors, following a four-game winning streak that has improved their record to 9-2. Boston have dominated the recent head-to-head, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings and leading the all-time series 81-46. The Raptors, now 5-5, have struggled with inconsistency and are missing key players for this matchup. While there is a risk of a letdown after Boston's win in Philadelphia, their current form and healthier roster support the tip for a road win and cover.

Boston are tipped to cover as they win on the road for the second night in a row.

While there is the risk of a letdown after that win in Philly, the Celtics are in fantastic form right now, and they have recently dominated a Raptors team that is short-handed for this one.

Celtics Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 81-46
  • Boston Celtics won 115-101 when the two teams last met in April 2026

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.
