by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Toronto Raptors will play host to the Boston Celtics at the Scotiabank Arena in the NBA on Thursday. The Raps (9-31) are 13th in the Eastern Conference while the C’s (28-11) are second. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Toronto Raptors have been very poor this season but managed to bring an end to a five-match losing streak by beating the Warriors 104-101 on Tuesday.
Scottie Barnes led the team with 23 points. The Warriors led the match for the majority but Toronto closed the game with a 6-0 run to edge their opponents in the final two minutes.
The Raps are averaging 111.0 points per game this season (19th in the league), but allow 118.8 PPG (27th in the NBA).
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have not been at their absolute best this season but are starting to heat back up after picking up their fifth win in seven, beating the Pelicans 120-119 on Monday.
Jayson Tatum went big with 38 points and 11 rebounds but the Pels were more than competitive throughout and Boston only managed to take the ascendancy late in the fourth with an 8-2 run.
The C’s are still top-six on both ends this season, fifth for points scored per game (118.0) and sixth for points against (108.7).

Our Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have not been their formidable selves this season, and while they are still 28-11 SU, they are a bottom-five team at covering numbers, doing so in fewer than 40% of games.
That certainly does not mean that we expect the Raps, who have been very poor this season, to win this match, but they did just beat the Warriors and we feel they will be able to at least cover this massive line at home. Our Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics prediction is Toronto Raptors +13.5.
