Last time
The Celtics have won all three games vs Toronto this season. The latest coming March 13 where the Celtics cruised 112-88.
This time
Get it to: Jason Terry
He’s shooting 63% vs Toronto this season. Maybe he likes the black and red uniforms. Or maybe it’s the Raptors weak perimeter defense.
Gotta stop: DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan is averaging 23.9 ppg on 55% shooting over the past 7 games. He doesn’t fare so well vs Boston though ( 13.3 ppg on 38.5 percent shooting).
This is the Celtics 1st game since the Marathon bombings. Enough said.
How we see it goin’ down
Doc Rivers plan for resting his veterans hit a snag with the cancellation of Tuesday night’s game vs Indiana. With the playoffs set to start Saturday, I’m expecting everyone will get some run tonight.
The Raptors have won 6 0f 7, but Boston isn’t losing tonight.
The starters set the pace early, and the reserves carry the load the rest of the way.
Celtics 108
Raptors 94
