    Celtics +125 Moneyline

    Boston has dominated this head-to-head series winning eight of the last ten meetings straight up, with three of those wins coming north of the border including a 124-120 victory in its last visit to Toronto. The Celts are averaging 105.2 points per game on the road, and we simply do not see a Raptors defense that is allowing 101.0 points per contest overall slowing the Celtics down.

    Now granted the Raps are averaging 98.1 points themselves, but that average dips to just 94.4 points over the last five games, and Toronto has now gone six consecutive games without cracking the century mark. Boston appears to have the edge both inside and outside here, as they have a +1.5 rebounding margin per game compared to a poor -5.3 for the Raptors, and the Celts are hitting 38.7 percent of their three-point attempts compared to 29.9 percent for Toronto.

    LT, looks like you have capped this game pretty well... I might take a shot with Bean Town since you seem to have a fairly good lean on this game...
    GOOD LUCK!

    Sometimes chite happens! The Celts went 5 of 12 (41.7%) form 3-point land compared to just 1 for 6 for Toronto, and Boston also won the rebounding battle barely (31-30), yet lose by 4. Then again, it is hard to win when your defense allows the opponent to hit 55.2% from the field.

    NEXT!
