The Toronto Raptors will look to make it three straight wins on Saturday against the Boston Celtics: Where to watch, injury reports, & more
In this story:
The Toronto Raptors are in for a tough one Saturday night as they get set for a date with the Boston Celtics at 7 p.m. ET.
Where to Watch
TSN and the FAN 590 will broadcast for Toronto. NBC Sports and Rock 92.9 will call the game for Boston.
What to Watch For
- Pascal Siakam finally got going on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks with a 31-point performance to clinch a victory. Toronto is going to need Siakam to keep playing at that level, getting into the paint, and beating his defender with this go-to spin move. It's been a slow start to the year for the All-Star forward, but another big-time showing against Boston would get his season back on track.
- Boston is on the second night of a back-to-back and while the Celtics are currently 6-2 and among the best teams in the East, tired legs could help Toronto pull off the upset. If the Raptors can take control early, Boston might be too tired to fight back.
- It'll likely be OG Anunoby on the Jayson Tatum assignment for the Raptors, another tough test for the All-Defense forward. Toronto has seen Anunoby thrive against almost everyone this season and the Raptors will need him to hang in tough against another one of the league's best.
Injury Reports
Toronto has listed Precious Achiuwa as questionable. Christian Koloko remains out.
Boston has yet to release its injury report.
Game Odds
The Raptors are +8 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 27%. The total for the game is 222.
