My Prediction
Boston Celtics by 18Alright sports fans, let's discuss this upcoming matchup between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics. Now, the Celtics are soaring this season, with fantastic performances by Jayson Tatum, who's been knocking down an impressive 28.6 points per game in the last month, alongside Jaylen Brown's commendable efforts, scoring an average of 24.7 points per game.
The Raptors, on the other hand, have been showing some fight, but let's be honest, the ongoing season hasn't been very kind to them. We can't ignore RJ Barrett's productivity, though, with 24.4 points per game in the last month and Scottie Barnes matching stride with 19.9 points per game.
Just gazing in the rearview mirror for a moment, past games between these two have been close affairs with the Celtics having the upper hand more often than not.
Looking at where they sit in the standings - Boston is sitting pretty near the top, while Toronto is pretty much in reverse and looking at a high draft pick. Going by their recent results, the Raptors have had a pretty rough time while the Celtics are in a mixed bag - winning some, losing some.
As we all know, past performance may not predict future results but it's not like we can ignore all this, can we?
Given the above, my prediction for this NBA matchup would be the following:
