Thanks to the recent stumbles of the Toronto Raptors, the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference remains wide open. The Boston Celtics will look to trim the gap with a win over the Dinos in Canada on Wednesday. Is another UNDER in store tonight? Four of the last five matchups between the Raptors and Celtics have gone UNDER, with an average combined score of 204 points in that span.
Sportsbook opened the Raptors as 8-point home favorites with a total of 205.5.
- The Celtics are 13-3 SU in their last 16 games vs divisional opponents.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the Celtics’ last seven games with no days off between games.
- The Raptors are 0-9 ATS in their last nine games.
Toronto has dropped two in a row for the first time since mid-January and five of its past eight in a stretch that’s seen the Raptors go up against some very good teams. The Raps, who are playing in the second half of a back-to-back after falling to Cleveland on Tuesday, will need to get point guard Kyle Lowry going. Lowry was limited to five points on 2-of-11 shooting in the setback to the Cavs and is 6-for-24 over the last two contests.
Boston continues to hold its own in the absence of Kyrie Irving but saw a six-game winning streak snapped in a 106-102 loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday. Head coach Brad Stevens decided to sit Terry Rozier and Shane Larkin against the Bucks, which gave G League player Kadeem Allen a rare start. The Celtics are 2-1 SU on the year vs the Raptors, including a 20-point win in the one meeting in Toronto.
The Celtics have been road warriors when it comes to covering the spread of late. In Boston’s previous 13 away from home, it’s 11-2 ATS.
