Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics

NBA Regular Season

TOR VS BOS MATCH PREVIEW:

Toronto Raptors host Boston Celtics in NBA action on Thursday (IST) at Air Canada Center, in Toronto. This is the match between top two teams of Eastern conference and a mouthwatering prospect considering the Conference kingship is on the line.

Boston (53-24) are 2nd in Eastern Conference heading into this match, only two games behind their hosts. So there isn’t much difference between these two sides. But only 5 games remain in the regular season, so Celtics need to win at least three of their remaining games to have any hope of winning the conference, while they hope that Toronto lose at least four of their next five games.

In away games, Celtics have performed better than in home games. The Celts have lost just 11 away games, while at home they lost two more in 2017-18. So the Greens are a better traveler and Raptors need to be wary of this fact.

Toronto (55-22), on the other hand, are leading the charge in the Eastern Conference. This game is pivotal because if they win it, they are certain to win the conference. Also, their home record this season is the 2nd best in both the conference and only Houston Rockets have lost fewer games than Toronto in 2017-18 season.

So the home team must be beaming with confidence ahead of this match.

Form of the Team-

Toronto Raptors–

Toronto Raptors chose the wrong time to hit the low phase of the season. They have lost their last two games against Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers and scored significantly lesser than what they are averaging this season.

So this game against one of the big boys may be a perfect opportunity to put things in place and avenge that nail-biting 100-99 loss against Celtics just a few days ago.

As a team, Raptors are averaging 112.3 points per game, while allowing opposition 104.5 points.

Their shooting accuracy stands at 47.2 percent, while the teams are shooting at 45.1 percent against them.

Kyrie Irving is racking up points far more than any other Celtics player this season. The former Cleveland Cavaliers man is averaging 24.4 points per game this season. But he is out of this clash due to the surgery on this knee.

Boston Celtics –

Boston Celtics lose a high-profile match today against Cleveland Cavaliers, and which effectively, ended their six games winning streak. The loss was a hard pill to swallow for every Greens fan as Raptors loss their game too. If Celtics won the match against Cavaliers, the gap between both the teams would have been just one game heading into this match.

Celtics are averaging just 104.2 points this season. But their guards have done a wonderful job as teams are scoring just 100 points per game this season against them. So DeMar DeRozan and company need to be at their toes in this particular game.
